Awkward. I'm having to have a rough conversation with my friend. She has this other friend, they used to date but I think they're just friends now, but he has become verbally abusive with her multiple times, especially when he drinks. When that happens, she gets upset and tells me she's done with him, but then he apologizes and she seems to immediately accept it and go right back to hanging out with him, even though he doesn't seem to have shown much of a dedication to changing or even acknowledging the underlying patterns. It hurts me to see this because I care about her. She asked if she can bring him when we hang out tomorrow, and I said I'm not necessarily ready to trust him because he hasn't shown that much evidence that he wants to actually change his behavior. But at the same time it's hard, because she does like him, and I don't want to upset anybody.
