No, he's not her friend. He just loves her since they were 13 yrs old(both have 32 now). I wouldn't even call it love, I think he needs help. She never really loved him despite being his GF for 2 years in 2 different times, the last one 10 years ago. It's just that her family LOVES him and they still dream with her marrying him. They do any kind of "terrorist efforts" (inviting him to family meetings is just one of them). I fear that after some disastrous(sp) relationships she may give up to the pressures an accepting him back. Honestly, I don't know if I should care anymore. We were close friends for more than a decade, and always could count on each other for anything. But the last years she just ignored all my advices over and over...
