CAN I TELL MY FRIEND HER BOYFRIEND SEEMS LIKE A JERK?
My friend Z has been dating a guy, S, for a year. The guy doesn't seem to like our group of friends and shows it by being very sullen and withdrawn when we're all together. S won't show a preference for where we go to dinner, what movie we see, etc., but then he's annoyed with whatever the decision is. And when S isn't happy, Z jumps to fix it somehow. They also bicker constantly about very minor things. It's difficult to watch Z trying so hard to please S when he seems determined to be irritated by everything. Z is the only unmarried one in our group, and I'm worried that she's investing a lot into this relationship because she so badly wants to get married and have kids--she seems to think that she's out of time and has to make this work, to the point where she has said firmly that she would marry him if he proposed. Is there any way I can approach her with my concerns that won't put her on the defensive? I'm just really worried about how her behavior changes when he's around.
