need a bit of advice (+rep)

Well you never said the girl made him or asked him to do it. if she did thats a different story but if hes doing it on his own free will. >.>

well if he wasn't with her, he wouldn't be turning jehova.

I'm not sure what to suggest in terms of what you could do, but if he's extracted himself so much in such a short-lived relationship maybe it's just a sign that he's just being generally over-ambitious and has gotten caught up in the idea of having a new girlfriend, and with that idea he's putting a lot of faith in his relationship with her. Maybe soon the novelty of his girlfriend and obtaining a new life style will wear off and he'll forget about it, and gradually integrate his and her relationship into his normal everyday life again.

You could maybe talk to his girlfriend to see what she has to say about it and tell her it could be a bit soon etc. I don't think you should say anything to your friend though, just be there for him.

beth if I'm honest

do all that talkywalky stuff

and then if that doesn't work make him come round for a cup of tea and spike it and hypnotise him out of being an idiot

heh i guess the best we can hope for is that he's just in some kind of honeymoon phase.

i don't really know her well enough to speak to her about this. it'd be pretty awkward. they've never really socialised as a couple with us so we know him not her.
