That happened to my sister. She was always talking about her friend, a guy she'd hung out with for years. He asked her to go to his grandmothers funeral in AL, but she didn't because people would assume they were a couple. A week later he came back with a new friend he had agreed to let stay with him because she was transferring to a job in the city he lived. Six months later they were engaged, and my sister, an educated well grounded professional was put on suicided watch.
