Frustrations

Ok I know I'm new to doing a blog so please for give me. I just needed some place to go and express my frustrations. I'll start off by telling you a little about my self. My name is April, I live in Texas and have a wonderful son! I work full time and go to college part time. I only have a few good friends that I trust and can lean on.
With that said, this is were my frustrations come in play. I have one friend who I've gotten to be great friends with over the past few years. Our boys play well together and they have even became great friends. Over this past year she has been dating one guy off and on, they had broken up and gotten back to together and this being the 3rd time doing so. After the last time they broke up, I thought it was for good, she had came to me and some others and expressed the way she has felt about what made them break up. Well come to find out after a few months of them being a part they are now back together AGAIN. I don't see this relationship as being a healthy one. This school year her son has gotten into more trouble than last year. She is spending almost every weekend with this man. I'm not saying she shouldn't see him, but when does she get to spend time with her son when he's always at his grandparents house? And then there is the fact that I feel like I am losing my best friend. Like I said earlier, I don't have that many friends the ones that I do have mean every thing to me. I am the type of person that will do what I can for the ones that are in my life.
How do you go about and tell your best friend that the man she is dating doesn't seem like the right man for her. She wants to get married and have another child and have a wonderful family. This man has been married two times already and has two children. He has also stated that he doesn't want to get married again and can't have anymore children. So from an outsider looking in she is settling on what she wants. Yes I am happy that she is happy. But I also know that there is someone out there that is better for her and can give her SO much more than she's got now. How do I tell her this without losing her as a friend? I want to tell her this but I don't feel like that conversation will go that well.
OK with that being said, I think I will end on that.
