men don't listen

[falcon9]

What I tend to tell my friends (have in a few cases in the past with similar relationship issues with their exes) is something along the lines of "I hope she rips your heart out again so I can remind you of it every time I see you over the next year", or something similar.  My friends know that I will do it and that I will have a grand time doing it also.  It isn't that it necessarily works to convince them to use better judgement, but at least when/if it goes wrong they will not come to me crying about it.

Sounds like an 'I-told-you so' Schadenfreude.

I think you should add "ever" to the title. But just as the others stated "the messenger always gets shot". What if they decide to get back together and stay together. That is going to put a lot of tension in the air. Sometimes people have to "burn their hand on the stove" to understand its hot.

If you tend to live by this simple rule you will so not get involved because what takes place between consenting adults is the business of the consenting adults.

My hubby and i have a friend from church who is single. His ex wife has came back into his life. He ran right to her and is helping her move and taking her places. she did him so wrong in the past. Our pastor who we are all friends with even stated she is bad news for him. Should we just let him stumble or should we tell him how we see him heading down the wrong path AGAIN?

Let him have his own experience.  It's important for him to learn in his own time and in his own way without you trying to rescue him.  If you interfere in any way he might resent you for trying to "help" him.

They do not listen to anyone when it comes to love.

 :- At first I have to know you are his friend as others or a friend who have special feeling with him. Sometime a man help a woman that is not that he is wanting to come back to her. Because to a man, he never forget how beautiful her body is. That make him cannot stand still if she have no one around her. Good luck!
