I'm torn and I know I really shouldn't tell someone they shouldn't get married, but deep down I just have this feeling it's going to be horrible. My friend has only been dating this person for less then 3 months has never met her in person and she lives half way across the us from him. This person just got out a relationship she was in for over 5 years less then a month before dating my friend. My friend has never been in a relationship longer then 2 weeks and only had 3 Girlfriends. There are just so many red flags that I see for this ending badly, but I also don't want to hurt my friends feelings.

Thanks everyone for the Great Advice. As much as I want to say something I think in the best interest of our friendship I'm going to bite my tongue for the moment and see where his love takes him. If I still feel like he is making a bad dicision then I will let him know how concerned I am for him.

What about casually asking him questions about her: what's her middle name, where was she born, what's her religion, what are the names of her siblings, how many children does she want, etc. If he realizes he doesn't know the answers, he may realize he doesn't know her well enough.

NOW CASTING: ENGAGED COUPLES EXPERIENCING COLD FEET!!!

ARE YOU ENGAGED - OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS - BUT MAYBE SHOULDN'T BE??

Have you (or your friend) already sent out wedding invitations and picked a location but now are questioning whether or not you should go through with it?

Do you love your fiancé but are struggling to get over a recently discovered DEAL BREAKER (i.e. significant debt, lavish spending habits, pushy in-laws, cheating suspicions, questioning sexuality issues, not willing to convert, questioning whether you’re really in love, etc.)?

Should you still walk down the aisle OR walk away???

Need help deciding what to do?

If so, A MAJOR TELEVISION PRODUCTION COMPANY wants to hear your (or your friend's) side of the story.

For more information, please email a brief summary of why you’re having cold feet (along with your contact info) to *******@**********.***
