That's some sad shit. If that was one of my friends that would be the point where there would be an intervention.
Damn that story is fucked up. I would of tried an intervention/peer pressure to try to make him man up. However your story makes me think it wouldn't work.
we tried on multiple occasions. everybody else usually really blunt w/ it and it would cause him to withdraw so i tried to approach it more calmly.
in the last few weeks of school i tried one more time and he said "i can't imagine my life w/o her."
"but...she's not in your life. do you not see this?"
after that i just left it alone.
we tried hooking him up w/ other girls over the year, just to distract him, but he was so fixated.
edit: I remembered another amazing one ill tell when i wake up tomorrow.
okay this one takes the cake.
i screwed up my planning and lost track of a make/break assignment that was due for one of my classes until i had one of those panicked late night realizations. the girl my friend was after had helped me w/ some stuff for the class before so i hit her up to save my ass. she's like "no prob, its just me and him. come hang out w/ us." this is around midnight so im thinking my friend is actually making progress, he's in her room for once.
so i go over to her dorm and when i get there she's just freaking out. apparently she had watched some horror movie and was scared to sleep (a regular occurrence for her scary ass lol),
so since her boyfriend was out of town she called him instead to keep her company. i'm like whatever, i'm not even gonna ask why he's going for this.
i finished w/ the work i needed from her around 3am and i called the shuttle back across campus. he stayed, i didnt think much of it at the time cause i was on work tunnelvision.
a few days later im at lunch w/ her and some of her friends and she's like "so did he tell you he slept w/ me?"
*paraphrasing*
me:
her: hahahahahaha not like that. i was scared so i made him stay w/ me.
me: well...what was the arrangement?
her: we slept head to feet...but i could feel his boner the whole night, it was weird haha.
me:
(i had this reaction to their adventures at least once a week lol)
