Should I Say Anything? Update #21

She seems to be going very fast even if she hadn't been warned about him.  Holding hands the second they meet face-to-face?  Cabin as the second date?

Well, my roommate I mentioned above worked so fast that she met one man at the door for her first date wearing a chiffon negligee.

As much as you want to take these people and tell them that they can't live their lives as if they're in a particularly overwritten soap, they'll not believe you. And, strangely, they seem to get away with a lot of things that the rest of us would never survive.

It was unlikely that what you said would have gone over well, but I feel that you did the right thing by telling her about your experience.  Going any further than that would have been overstepping, but you didn't do that.  You gave her fair warning and dropped it to let her continue on as she wished to.

Hopefully this won't impact your volunteer work too terribly much.  If her not speaking to you starts to become an impediment, I think it would be okay to ask for a different shift/pairing.

I suspect she'll be talking to you again once the Next Thrilling Installment in The Story of Her Life comes out.

That's because they're supremely confident. Everyone *knows* the heroine of the movie doesn't die. And even if she has heartaches, she will always have a happy ending.

I still think you did the right thing. Most people would be glad for the warning.

If it's not too hard to get another partner, I'd see if you can switch. I predict that at some point their relationship will end poorly and like a PP said, instead of her telling you "you were right. Thanks anyway," she'll just resent the fact that you were right. And there will be even more drama. I wouldn't want to be there to endure any other drama she wants to bring or P/A scream about in your direction.

You were definitely right to tell her and also right to back off once you'd done so. 

I hope the cabin isn't isolated and she has the sense to drive her own car up, but she is an adult and you don't know her that well.  At the very least, your warning might encourage her to take some precautions.

OP, If you had not said anything to her, and when the situation goes wrong, she would be mad at you because you didn't say anything.  "D***** if you do, d***** if you don't."
