i've tried phrasing this better, and its just not possible.
you asked me in the car what i thought of him, the love of your life, the apple of your eye, the soulmate you swoon over, and after two years of internally strangling myself rather than telling you the truth, i couldn't keep it in anymore and had to spit it out.
it didn't help that you didn't understand what i meant when i said he's out of your league. it didn't help when you asked what a league was.
i work with him on a daily basis, i have probably spent more hours with him than you did at the university where you were going out with someone else.
he is an asshole. he will go far, because it is assholeness that gets rewarded at work. he is part of the cliched boy gang that sits together and talks about SWOT*s and other derogratory terms in its version of locker room talk. i am there when he tells people that you're too conservative to go to "those kind of things" when both of you are invited to balls and fund raisers (when you've been begging me to get invited for the both of you), and i am there when he tells you his boss is bitch (when she is fair minded and reasonable beyond question), i am there when he excludes only three people from the entire floor but takes the rest of the department out for lunch.
i am there when his boss gives him work, and i am there when he is "working nights and weekends" not understanding why its taking him so long to finish three simple tasks to his deadline.
i will also be there to help you do the wedding prep, to help you pick your outfit, and i will also be there dutifully playing the best friend role at the wedding.

WHY? :(

tdh - when it comes to ur friends entire life, we do take such steps, even if it means we might lose them coz they'd never figure why we said it.. assuming we're just jealous or some shit... sometimes u have to say it... for ur own integrity...

I wish I had had a friend like you when I met my soon to be ex husband. I swooned. I spoke of soulmates and now... He Not all that and a certainly less than a bag of chips! Now the friends/relitives come out of the woodwork and say... we knew he was not right for you.

You have integrity. You will not say I told you so... but you will be the one person she can trust if the asshole hurts her.

i hope ur friend read this. Its amazing how we can never see whats good for us, even if someone is there to tell us - we always decide what we want to hear and what we do not want to hear.
