1. Your enemies stab you in the back

True friends stab you in the front.

Be honest and upfront in a caring concerned way.

If he doesn't take your advice, drop it. Just don't be a "told you so"

3. stay out of it

anything you say to him will sound judgmental

you don't get herpes from sleeping with a lot of people--you get it from one person--it's not something that you get little by little
