Update #2 at top --!! News that's going to CRUSH my good girlfriend.

Ugh.

So my gf (friend, not romantic gf) is 45 and has been looking for "the one" for a long time.

She calls me last week and says she met a GREAT GUY. owns his own business. Super attentive. 40. Good looking. Kind. Smart. - you guys know. The one that checks too the "boxes".

When I was talking to her about him she SOUNDED like I did when I met my DH. Somehow I knew THIS one was different.

So she told our group. We are 10 of us and call ourselves the "secret girl possee". ;) we are sorority sisters so know each other well.

Well one girl is called "scoop". Let's just say she always has the low down. She knows everyone's secrets (in a good way) is just one of the most amazing women I know.

So "scoop" texts me "holy sh..t. Call me this guy is bad news".

Up

We have uncovered his 9 page rap sheet. All of his aliases. His court dates. Newspaper clippings from when he was arrested. Ripoff reports of how he scammed people with a previous business and he one where he "stole" a property and tried to sell it and he did NOT own it.

The last time he was arrested was last sept. It's for assault and is still pending. We have no idea what the circumstances are. Just that it's assault.

We did not go snooping for snoops sake. She told us his name and we were looking up his business etc. all of a sudden all this crap
Comes up.

We are heartbroken because we have to tell her. She is going to be crushed. Like CRUSHED. I heard it in her voice that this one was different.

We are going to be gentle. At least it's only been 2 weeks and we don't think they did the deed yet.

But we HAVE to tell her. I'm sick over this. Scoop invited her over on Saturday and will tell her. Hey she might already know. And scoop is going to say it's just her. We don't want her to know 1/2 of us know since it's gonna suck. Plus there is a possibility she might get really angry with scoop and we all recognize that. We also agree that she HAS to know no matter what.

Anyone else been in a position like this??

UPDATE MONDAY APRIL 3rd:

So. Scoop had her over last night. We had decided to just talk to her in general. But over the weekend we found something about woman claiming that he uses "cancer" to gain sympathy. And that he has slept with over 200'women and does not use a condom.

So we decided to tell her the whole thing.

She took it well because she was starting to get red flags.

Over the weekend he was in the hospital. So she is now his official GF so she went to see him. When she went she gave his name and they are like "there is no one here by that name". Finally hey figured it iut and she went to his room. He gave a whole story about he changed his name 30 years ago but somehow the hospital has his name wrong from when he was 10.

??????

(Because you don't have to show ID and an insurance card with your real name)

He was sorta attacked by one of his contractors and he was scratched and got an elbow in the eye. That's what he told her. She didn't quite believe him.

So then scoop has her over. And might I add that while she and scoop were talking he was texting her on stop "so you go out with your girlfriend and then ignore my texts??" So red flag there.

In the end he told her he was NYPD. Has a JD. Was in the Marines. Had cancer surgery. Was the CEO of a few companies. Is now a web designer and owner of a construction business. He said he is allergic to latex so he can't use condoms so they both should get tests. (And she did NOT sleep with him). All of whatbhe told her is BS.

But this is what put her over the edge. For some crazy reason she knows his half brother. It was her boss from years ago. She connects him him last night and the 1/2 brother said "he is as news. Stay away. Get out now".

She is breaking up with him today.

Telling her was the right move and none of us regret it.

Update #2

So I spoke to her. First off he said his dad was 1/2 black. When she spoke to the 1/2 brother he was like "um, no, GREEK".

SO he blew up her phone while talking to snoop. She texted him after and said "I'm emotionally drained and cant talk. Lets talk in the AM.

By the time she woke up he erased all her pictures from social media and blocked her. She spoke to him briefly and he was all "you KNOW I told out there was stuff about me on the internet. I wish you had spoken to me first".

So he asked her nicely to remove all his pictures from her social media which she did. SO in fact he broke up with her, so to speak.

She is VERY sad but feels like she dodged a BIG bullet and is VERY thankful.

News that's going to CRUSH my good girlfriend.

There was a post or so long ago on the relationship board about this. It was someone's sister that was dating someone with a rap sheet.

Re: News that's going to CRUSH my good girlfriend.

I was in a similar situation a few years ago. A friend of mine (not as close as you and your friends) started dating someone who had a record. He told her about it and she decided she didn't care and was glad he was honest about it.

Myself and 2 of her very close friends were innocently discussing him since we had all met him within a few days of each other and we realized that stories and info just wasn't adding up. Something was off so they googled him and found so much more than what he had disclosed. We told her everything we found and she was furious for a little while but after a few weeks realized that we were really only telling her to protect her. We didn't want to see her get hurt. Part of the reason she was so upset and defensive is because she knew we were right. The whole thing didn't last long.

It isn't easy, but it is the right thing to do. I think having just your one friend do it is best. She could be very angry, but if everyone is as close as you say, I would think she will see that her friend is just looking out for her and only wants to see her truly happy.

Good luck!

Yup that was my sister. It turned out she knew all along but chose to accept it because he's "changed" and he really loves her blah blah. She did get angry at us because we wouldnt accept him so just beware u may get the same reaction. The only difference in your situation is its only been 2 weeks so hopefully she hasnt completely fallen yet for this guy. Its a tough situation and like u, we only had my sisters best interest at heart. Good luck and keep us posted Chat Icon

How long have they been dating? I don't know its a tough situation. If she googles him herself I am sure she will figure it out on her own. I don't know that I would rush to say anything to her. She will likely be mad at you guys for snooping into this.

Is Scoop 100% sure it is the same guy? Is there a chance it could be someone else with the same name?

You need to tell her- we were in a similar situation with my FIL... he dated a younger woman a few years ago that he met online who flew across the country to stay with him. He brought her to a family party and we all had a weird vibe about her (included her saying things like how FIL was paying for all this stuff for her)... DH's cousin went online and found her rap sheet. My DH ended up telling his father who was actually in denial at first but eventually he came around and realized he should break it off with her.

Tell her ASAP. As you say, it's only been 2 weeks. She needs to know before she's really invested.

Re: News that's going to CRUSH my good girlfriend.

Is it possible that she already knows? I mean, I feel like everyone Googles who they're going out with.

2 weeks. That's it.

And I agree, she might very well be mad. We have decided we are telling her. I just don't know how we step aside and don't, KWIM?

I agree, I would think she has googled him herself. Is she naïve or the type to fall for someone very quickly? I'd handle this very carefully... I think I'd be pissed if my friends were googling a new guy I started seeing behind my back. I'd tell your friend to start asking questions about him when they are together and then say lets google him. That's how it would go down amongst my friends. She definitely needs to know but may feel stupid and get defensive depending on how it is handled if she is really into this guy.

Did she meet this guy online? This story sounds very familiar and like a guy I met on match years ago. He gave me his business card after we had coffee. Of course I googled him immediately to uncover a story just like this. I confronted him when he texted me afterwards and he said oh that's second date conversation, not a first date conversation Chat Icon No, that's more like a NO second date conversation!

Hope it goes well Chat Icon

Yeah it's your responsibility to be honest with her. Hopefully she thanks you for it despite being upset.

Yes, met him online.

And all of this is on top of him having stomach cancer last year.......(if that's even real)

I think that if one of your friends is nicknamed "snoop" that she shouldn't be too surprised that her friends Googled her new boyfriend.

I would tell her now before she gets attached. No one should be too attached to anyone after only two weeks. I don't even think I would be even mentioning the person to my friends after only two weeks. And if she's 45 I am assuming she's been around the block a time or two. I'm sure it won't be her first disappointment.

She is going to call him and end. NOT do it in person.

OH I forgot the best part. He had already "fished" about her credit score and about "helping" her start a flipping business for houses.
