However, when he came begging back to her that gave her the power and put the ball in her court. Evidently she didn't capitalize on that by setting conditions and limits, so now he's galavanting around again and playing her, which is probably what he's been doing all along. At this point I think your friend should dump him like a hot potato. No calls, no contact of any sort whatsoever. If he comes crawling back again and your friend is so inclined to give him another chance, then she needs to set strict limits. The minute he strays, it's so long sweetheart and for good this time.
