Dear Elyse,
My friend is dating a guy who I've always had reservations about for her. He's temperamental and tends to blame her for things that aren't her fault. Recently, I found an article in the local paper that stated that he had been arrested on petty larceny. How do I tell her without coming across as a know-it-all bitch?
Yours,

Dear Friend Dating a Thief,
It sounds like you are concerned for your friend's welfare, which is very noble of you. Your intuition that your friend may interpret your action as malicious or even jealous is unfortunately also correct. However, you will be kicking yourself if he steals her iPhone or even her car and she's having a meltdown. So, I would simply paste the article into the body of an email and pass it on her. Just present it as clear, plain facts and tell her that it's her choice how to act on the info and you respect whatever choice she makes.
Good luck!
Yours,
Elyse
