To not meet up with friend and her boyfriend

Been friends for so long but she's dating this new guy. He likes to get drunk start fights go off with the boys and appear home late. 12.30 at night to be exact when they had a flight the next morning and had booked a hotel at the airport. On one of the occasions my friend was drunk and on the way to his, I told her I didn't think she was sober enough to get the train I tried to stop her. Long story short she ended up at the wrong station with a dead phone and when I called the bf to ask if she had arrived. He told me she's at the wrong station obviously with another guy cheating on her. I panicked asked what station and went to find her she was fine in the end. He spent all night calling me calling her a slag said I was cheating on my partner I was a whore she was a fat slag it went on and on. Had to turn my phone off. My partner kept telling him I wasnt cheating on him and that she was safe with no guys and not cheating on him and please calm down he accused my friend on sleeping with my partner. She won't leave him but that's her Decision I give my support to her no matter what happens. But speaking to family today I've done the wrong thing in declining an invite for drinks with them both. I see her atleast once a week but family are saying I should accept the boyfriend and not seeing her with him means where alienating her

Also the bowling thing depends what your friend is like. Will she feel like a gooseberry or won't she care?

Why would your family want you to go and suck up his abusive behaviour? Very odd.

You're no ones (verbal) punch bag

She knows and remembers everything. I don't want to loose her as a friend but I wish I could just slap her and tell her to ditch the awful boyfriend and man up

I would spend time with them and correct him every single time he speaks down to her, she will either soon realise how badly he treats her when you constantly correct him or he will get tired and lose it and she will hopefully see him for what he is.

I'd not stop seeing her though, when she gets out of the relationship then she doesn't want to feel alone and like she has no-one to turn to so turns back to him...
