writes: I need advice. I've been dating this girl for about 3 months. Everything is awesome. She has this annoying friend in Maryland who is an alcoholic and is in AA. He invited my girlfriend and his parents down for an intervention this weekend. Well she went. I told her that the situation is very weird but that this is a friend of hers that needs her and that no one else will be there for him cause they are alcoholics themselves and others he's ashamed to tell. I just find it odd out of all people, my girlfriend was invited and she is driving 5 hours to spend the weekend at an intervention with this guy and his parents. My girlfriend does have that helpful personality and good heart. But I find it very odd. Am I being paranoid?

Yes and no. You have a right to be concerned because this does seem to be going the extra mile, pardon the pun, for someone who is only a friend. I can't believe there is no one else that is closer to the guy than your girlfriend. Did they grow up together? Did they date? Were they lovers? I think you are entitled to ask her these questions, and more, and to get honest answers. But, I also think you may be putting too much into this. That is why you should ask her the questions. If she is the helpful kind of woman, this may be one of the ways she defines herself, and likes that face that she sees in the mirror each morning. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Be nice.
