Hi, maybe someone can help me understand this a bit better.

 

My girlfriend (23 years old) knows this guy who has exploited her and her friend in the past, I won't go into details but trust me, the guy is an a-hole of the highest order, a worthless scum, my girlfriend shares the same view on him as me.

 

But the thing is that she still keeps talking to him. Her reasoning behind it is that the guy belongs into the same circle of people as her other friends and she can't just tell the guy to "go f**k himself" and she claims that she has never started a conversation with the guy, that he is the one who initates it every time. But I've seen their conversations on Facebook, she seems to gladly go along with whatever they are discussing, her every third message ends with a smiley face or some other friendly emoticon.

 

Is this normal? There are ways to politely tell others that you're not interested in talked with them. Doesn't this sort of promiscuously chatting with worthless a-holes show that she has no standards?

Not knowing the full story behind this guy, a gf of mine had someone in her life who was also was a scumbag, treated her terribly, said horrible things and generally not a nice person. I kept telling her why not delete him from fb and stay away from him, just make your life easier by keeping him out of the loop. I kind of got the same reply that he was in the same circle of friends but she never initiated a conversation, which was true, but because of his nature and what he use to do she said it was better to keep him in the loop so that if he did anything obnoxious or hurtful happened she was in a position to stop it straight away rather than letting him run his mouth off when he thought he could get away with it. The old saying comes to mind 'keep your friends close but your enemies closer'.

 

Good Luck!
