This is an I-Heart podcast.

Hey guys, welcome to Tommy Talk, a new weekly series that is part of my I've never said

this before podcast where I am talking about things, well, that I've never really publicly

talked about before.

And today's topic is, should you tell a close friend that you don't like their

girlfriend or boyfriend? Oh boy. This is, oh my goodness, this is, this is a tough one. This is a

tough one. It's tough because when you love somebody so much, you want the best for them. You want to protect them.

In some ways, you want to save them, right?

And if you see that they're with somebody who maybe isn't the best partner for them,

it's very difficult to not say something because you love your friend so much, right?

And you always want the best for them.

So I had a friend who was with somebody

who, let's just say, was a little bit unstable. And this person would be verbally abusive to my

friend, would sometimes get a little physical, not like, not like, you know, beating somebody up,

but would maybe throw something or, you know, beating somebody up, but would maybe throw

something or, you know, slam doors, just kind of an intense energy. And would just say really,

really horribly mean things to them, like horribly mean things that stay with you for a really

long time that even your worst enemy should never say to you

like things that are that bad right and this was a continuation of this treatment over a period of time

so i would hear about it quite a lot and i knew that my friend was so happy to finally have met

somebody so i kind of bit my tongue quite a bit. And then there was one

blow-up fight where I got a phone call about. And I got asked a question, what do you think?
