What can I do to be a supportive friend?
My friend "Tia" is 30 and dating a man who is 41. This obviously isnt going to work because he is so much older than she is. He has a child from a previous marriage and though he has a good job, it certainly isnt one that will make her comfortable. I think she is setting herself up to be heartbroken. What can I do to be a supportive friend?

Dear Karen
Mind your own business. You're making a bunch of assumptions. He isn't so much older than she is, and a child from a previous marriage in his care says a great deal about him. And so, he doesn't have a job you approve of but...here's the thing... he's not dating you.
Unless your girlfriend is complaining, sad, or miserable, you might have to entertain the notion that you're jealous of her happiness. Say nothing, because there's nothing to be said.
