Wow. What a flaming, freaking, ego-centric, tactless son of a bitch.
Presuming he's destined for heaven? I think that falls under the sin of "pride." He should look that up. Along with a lot of other things he'll never understand.
Gah. Go ahead and dislike him. He's dislikable. And hope Lizz will come to her senses sooner than later. I'm with Luu about the dog and the Waiters Rule ...
I...would really like to know where she met this guy. Really, have you asked her what she sees in him? I know this kind of conversation is really tough to have with a close friend, but dear LORD he's obnoxious. How did you not laugh in his face? Did you laugh in his face? I feel like making fun of him might have been worth the fight you would have had with Lizz afterwards.
He sounds like a completely vile human being. You are an excellent judge of character, Ducks. Please, please have a discussion with your friend, she needs it.
P.S. I'm with the person who said that his behavior with the dog is probably not a good sign. She knows who to be afraid of? That quote right there worries me.
She likes his lack of a filter, because she never has to wonder what he's thinking or if he's lying to her. There's a kind of safety in that.
And he makes her laugh.
*facepalm* I don't even know, man.
Nothing I brought up to her fazed her - she had excuses for him all down the line. Of course, I also found out that three years ago, he was in a very serious car accident and suffered a brain injury that has made it very hard for him to edit what comes out of his mouth. Apparently he hates this about himself, but I'll have to take Lizz's word for that, as he never once apologized during the course of the conversation.
But the problem isn't the lack of a filter; occasional faux pas or awkwardness could be tolerated for a good guy with a problem. The problem is that, uncensored, he's not a good guy.
Ugh. I mean, others have said it, but it bears repeating. When did honesty become synonymous with being a douchebag? Have we all watched too much House? Like you said, if it were just some social awkwardness because he can't filter himself, fine. You can't hold an impairment against him. But if he was a man with a good heart and good intentions, his "honesty" wouldn't be an issue. If anything, why would you continue to be with someone who is an asshole out loud and for everyone to see, knowing that he comes as he is and will never get better?

This reminds me of something Lizz said that made me really sad. "He's totally honest with me," she said. "He's not faking nice to get in my pants, and so I know if I were to get into a relationship with him, he'd be exactly the same person he is now. He's never going to be worse than this."
I told her vehemently and repeatedly that she deserved so much better than "at least it won't get worse." It didn't really seem to register.

Please say Lizzie plans on dumping his ass? Because someone like that isn't good news. :(

Alas, no. I told her what I thought, but none of that seems to bother her.

She knows I don't like the guy, and she knows exactly why, but... *sigh* I guess this thing is gonna have to just run its course.
