Fake marriage and fake friend?
My 32 year old friend married a 21 year old kid she met on myspace, to give him a green card..she has known him for 4 months now and have been married already for 2..we have been friends for almost 18 years..because of this we are no longer friends. I have to mention he is a muslim and she is an american. she is alway doing crazy unstable things like this, including drugs and she has an alcohol problem I am married with 2 kids of my own and her hi jinx have kept me up over the years, now she married an man from another country that neither of us knows well and under shady circumstances..I miss her but her problems drained me and I have a family of my own to worry about ..plus now she is claiming its not about the green card anymore..they are madly in love... ..will this marrige last..also i wasn't wrong to end this 18 year friendship over this was I?
its not just the marriage,its the drug problem and drinking. Marrying the guy to give him a green card to stay in our country was just the icing on a very long cake..anyone that has a friend with a drug problem knows it can be draining to alway have to pick her up when she was down..I had my limit when she didn't listen to me and married the guy anyway. and showing up at my house HIGH around my kids was never a treat. it was ok when we were young but she will never change..what more could I do, she would never get help.

I suspect you are having regrets as to having ended the friendship...otherwise you would not be looking here for approval. Personally, I do not understand why you have made this your business in the first place. Believe it or not, just because they are "married" does not guarantee him a green card or anything else...vigorous testing of the relationship is done by the INS..they know what ot look for in "special marriages for immigration purposes." And, even then, this really does NOT concern you in any way.
You do not have to waste time, stay up all night, etc. for her, but...surely there is a middle road here. Dropping her entirely seems out of place ... she has done nothing to you. Good luck

No, as painful as I am sure it was. You are responsible for yourself and your family before worrying about your friend. If you keep feeling drained due to your interaction with her, then you will be cheating yourself and your family, and that is where your first loyalty and set of responsibilities lie.
I would write her a letter - a caring one - telling her that you care for her, value your friendship, have enjoyed as your friend for many years, but you feel that the various circumstances that she is involved in have become too draining to you, and you feel that you need to stay away from her for a time to recharge and take care of yourself and your family. (Sorry for the run on!) That way, there is room for reconciliation should either of you want it.
I doubt that she will take any such letter well, but if you are nice, and remember that she has been your friend for many years, then that is the best that you can do. As well, it will allow for you to feel that you ended things the right way, and then are able to focus on you and yours. Good luck.
