So recently school had started and I have stumbled into this amazing young woman. She seems to have her head on straight and knows where she is going in life. When we were talking one day she told me about her current boyfriend and how they had met on omegle. She began to explain to me that he lives on base in nc and they have never video chatted before. She had told me that he is not willing to get skype and will not let her go down there to visit him. She said that she did talk to his supposed roommate before but after further talking to her she said "his roommate took his phone and texted me with it". Earlier tonight I tried very delicately telling her about all these little faults and then he proceeded to say something along the lines of "I am being deployed to libiya on september 9th for 18 months and it is awful that you do not trust me. If you think I am lying we should never talk again because I can not believe that someone I love would question me like that it is over" (oh and they had only dated for 5 months). After this convo between both of them she then proceeded to blame me for the argument and started saying how she should of never questioned him. I honestly just hate seeing someone that is so smart just be so...stupid about something like this. I feel bad for just letting a friend fall for something so lame and stupid like this but I have no idea what to do. Does anyone have any thoughts? or ideas on how to help?

it happens. love makes people do dumb things. sometimes you have to let people make mistakes so they can learn from them. All you can do is be there (and write a bestselling novel based on their lives, adding in zombies for flavor).

Just tell her that there are no ground troops in Libya or that there are no operations going on there either.
