I have this guy that i have known for about ten years now. He is a good guy and is cool for the most part. The problem is that he has a problem with alcohol for awhile now. He was laid off and has taken to drinking this shyt too often. The other night his wife called me crying and said he had been abusive to her emotionally. I had to tell her to come over so i could comfort her at once. That was about 2 a.m. and she stayed til 6. Dude did not even care. He talks to her any kind of way and even in front of their daughter.

He lives by himself now bc she has taken their kid and moved out. Again, he doesn't care much. I told him he is going to end up like the dudes at the homeless shelter that are always 'looking' and have to make accounts on match.com but you can't tell him nothing. The tipping point was the other night when i had broke into his house to get his 360. After I found it, i noticed the closet door was open and that there was a box sticking out. When i looked at the box, it was a bunch of depends in there. Surely he is not out here unable to control his functions brehs. But it makes sense bc he has played ball with us and had to take frequent breaks and when asked about it he says he has 'to readjust.' I am going to hold an intervention for him but how do i bring up the part about the depends without making him feel like a complete goddamn moron? And if he will not change then I will have to cut him lose bc i cannot be with a grown-ass man that is out here peeing on himself in my presence. Thanks in advance.

How many times have you called over his wife at 2am to come to your place for "comforting" ?

And you call him your friend, you dont break into a friends house and sell his stuff while he is going through issues. Dont know why im taking this :duck: seriously but your probably the type of friend to smash his wife too

Imagine all the comforting you could get done with breh in rehab :mjpls:

But seriously, just tell it to him bluntly and if he doesn't wanna listen (because the decision is going to have to be his own) then give him the :camby:
