About a friend's flaky ex-roomate

So I visited a friend of mine after not seeing him for some time. Several months ago he had kicked out a roomate of his, a very immature and vapid young woman who was a drain on his life.

Him and his other roomate are still friends with her. This weekend I have been hearing comments about her doings on, and it has been hard for me to bite my tongue about various matters. Granted it is none of my business, but sometimes it really bothers me when my best friend is backing her up on some totally idiotic argument.

Case in point: She is dating a guy whose parents don’t approve of her. My friend and his other roomate think his parents are jerks for having a problem with their son’s girlfriend. They think the parents are obsessed about money, and are mad that she doesn’t have a high paying job.

In my opinion, I do admit that her parents are being nosy. But to be honest, their concern isn’t totally unfounded- She is really immature, she has no ambition in her life and goes to great lengths to live in such a way that she doesn’t have to improve herself in any way. So it is really hard to have to sit and hear my friend and his roomate defend her like they do.

I have to say, this is one of those instances where your life will be 100% easier if you just say “Hey, who cares- it doesn’t affect me and she’s not my problem! I wonder if CSI is on tonight or not?”

You are right, BoBettie. In fact, whenever I see them, I always wonder, “why don’t I hang out wtih them more often?” then they have conversations mentioned in the OP, and I remember again :frowning:

I can understand that human beings have a very large capacity for being naive and stupid. It is just disappointing when I see it in my friends.
