If you do not know this girl personally, I would offer advice then steer clear. She may be telling the truth, she may just be looking to create drama in her life, or seeking a "white knight" so her life is more like a romance novel. I know it sounds harsh, but men should be aware that women know about men's protective instincts and know exactly what buttons to push.
I have a working relationship with this woman and have always known her to be on the level. When she told me this story, she was not hysterical or dramatic or seeking sympathy. Besides, I know she can be a tough nut when she needs to be. I really believe she was only asking for advice and not seeking a 'white knight'. I see her at work from time to time and ask how it's going. She just says, 'It's working out and thanks for the advice". End of story.
