Please dont take this the wrong way; for I do sympathesise for you and for what you have done. People often cant take critism, especially when it comes to matters of the heart; they say love is blind, and the case of your friend it does seem that this is the case. However he sees something in this woman that you and maybe many others dont, you have to allow this to runs its course, for better or worse. You have done all you can, and sadly come out the worse for it. I speak from bitter experience, as I have seen similar things happen, and while I know your actions were truly honurable, you must now step back, even though it may mean the loss of a friend. The decission is ultimately his to live with. If it all goes wrong, and he is a true friend, he will realise you were right. All you can do is be there for him, should he need you. Your a brave man, and I do hope that this is sorted out to everyones benefit.
