About an hour or so ago, Brad and I had a frank discussion about how poorly his girlfriend has been treating him. I want to like Missy, but she doesn't seem to even like Brad; so, when she starts screwing with his head, it's hard for me to see her side. This weekend was their first anniversary, yet Missy went home to study and to be with her mom. Yes, Missy's parents just got divorced, but trust me, she is going home as much to hit the books as to comfort her mom. She went home rather than celebrate their anniversary; were it me, I'd cut my losses and be free of her before she hurt me any worse. Brad, however, has convinced himself that he's in it for the long haul. So, I don't know how to help him.
