IS HE WORTH IT?
Sherry Ashworth
What do you do when your best friend is going out with Mr Wrong?
"You're talking about him like he's a drug and you're dependent on him."
Mish laughed. "Yeah - I suppose that's true. Only there are no side effects!"
I smiled at her, not entirely agreeing.She talked about feeling secure with him but she also dreaded him dumping her. She might not be playing games, but I wasn't so sure about him...

Your best friend is going out with Mr Wrong, and it's making both your lives miserable. But what can you do? If you say something, you are interfering or jealous, and if you don't, your friend might end up getting hurt. Either way, you can't win.
This is the situationHelen finds herself in when Mish starts going out with Ryan. Suave and sophisticated he may be, but caring and consistent he isn't. Helen wonders why Mish doesn't stand up for herself and leave him. One thing is for sure - this relationship is driving a wedge between them and she is determined not to let that happen.
