They've been together for 3 years and he wants to marry her. She is an alcoholic, bipolar, and has MS (not that that's a big deal but she uses it to constantly complain about pain she is in and i suspect it is a ploy - before she was diagnosed, she was always complaining about something from contacts hurting to teeth hurting to kidney infections). I think she might also be narcissistic and borderline but that is speculation.
Lately she has been getting worse and he hangs out with me less and less and lies to her when he does. She's had to be hospitalized a few times and is generally making life hell for him. She wants to move even though it will mean him having to give up a favorite hobby and likely take a demotion at work.
Thing is, he thinks this is a healthy relationship. I tried warning him otherwise and now he won't respond to my texts.
Anything else i can do?

>Anything else i can do?
Nope. Any more step you take will just further drive him away. He has to learn this lesson for himself and trying to force it down his throat will make him turn on you.

Yeah, i was worried that would be the answer. Thing is, she's really hot and young and has his brain so twisted i don't see him ever admitting to himself what a mistake he is making.
I've been holding out hope she'd eventually leave him, but he provides her with so much shit (apartment, car, entertainment, video games, etc) that i don't see that happening either, at least not soon with her medical bills.
Oh well, so long friend i guess. I feel shitty just sitting back, but i guess you can't help those who don't want help.

Just tell your friend straight up that his GF seems very unhealthy, and that while you respect his relationship you think he should take her to get some help.

I've done this. Now he won't speak to me. I feel like I'm watching someone walk off a cliff and can't say anything about it, which is not really my nature, but i think the anon above is right that i just need to bow out and let him ruin his own life.
