Last summer my friend was dumped by her ex bf. He dumped her because he developed a crush on another friend of his. They got pretty close but his friend ended up marrying her bf and he got depressed about it. A few weeks ago he came crawling back to my friend practically begging her to get back with him. My friend never truly got over him. She was deeply hurt by her ex bf and countless nights I had to stay up with her to cheer her up from the whole ordeal. She was excessively crying for months after he dumped her and she got into another shitty relationship which ended violently just a week prior to her ex contacting her (he hadn't spoken to her since they broke up). I've tried telling her to not get back with him because of how things went the last time they dated, but she decided to take him on a date. They aren't dating right now but they're definitely trying to get back with each other. I don't want to see my friend get hurt by this asshole again. How do I politely tell her that getting back with him is a horrible idea?
>inb4 ur jealous
I'm not a lesbian. Also I don't want to see my friend kill herself.

Likely your friend will just have to learn the lesson the hard way. The best you can do is ask how on earth she can possibly trust him not to do the same thing again. Ask how she wont be eaten by jealousy every time he goes, out texts out of sight, etc. The trust foundational to relationships is lost forever.

some people need to learn these things the hard way
and also some people only learn these things with personal experience, nothing you tell them about your life or previous experiences will help
just be there for her when she gets dumped again, don't tell her I told you so, just be there
t. I was like that some 15 years ago, I went back to the most toxic relationship I had despite all my friends telling me she was bad for me, I even stopped talking to a couple once I got back with that bitch because she couldn't stand seeing them in my friend list because they badmouthed her etc etc
tell her you think it's a bad idea and why once but don't interfere more than that you'll be wasting time.
