    Confronting a Friend

    So today I got an email from my friend's sister. My friend is going several states away next weekend to stay in a hotel with her boyfriend. From what I know of the boyfriend, he's no good. She spent 4 days with me a couple weekends ago, and from what he said on the phone and texted her, I wanted to call him myself and tell him to get a life. He's constantly apologize for every little thing, and tell her how she didn't deserve him and all this pitiful stuff. And she told me that her family and friends where she lives don't like him either. So, in light of all this, they are getting a hotel together this weekend, and her sister wants me to talk to her about it. How do I go about this? How do I confront her tactfully, but not seem pushy about this? Any advice is welcome!

    So, he says that's he's sorry (he's conscious of when he makes
    mistakes) and he has a low self esteem? That is a valid reason for you
    to interfere? Have you ever even met him, and if not how could you feel
    right with yourself just going off of what other people say? Unless he
    is threatening her well being by abusing her, then I don't think it is
    your place to intervene.

    Also, Yael Naim is awesome.
