[fakeblondie]

My friend of many years rang me up in tears last night.
Shes been married to a lovely guy for years and they have 2 children.<br /> She has apparently been unhappy for most of their marriage and repeatedly asked her dh to leave.tho he has refused every time and she wont leave the dc obviously.<br /> She has no parents to turn to and was saying she was ashamed last night of telling me she is living a lie but wanted to tell someone.<br /> What can do ?<br /> Shall i just be there for her to talk to or is there some real advise i should be giving her ?<br /> <br /> I cant offer her accomodation here as we are only 3 bed ourselves with 3 dc.<br /> I cant give her any money and i know they arent poor but she couldnt afford to just up sticks and rent somewhere.<br /> <br /> Shes really really unhappy and he hasn`t hurt her or anything but wont even talk about leaving - he apparently completely ignores her when the kids are in bed and no one is around ???????????????

She needs to see a lawyer, who can tell her what her rights are, and (more importantly from the sound of it) how she can enforce them.
