A very good friend of mine is in what I would deem to be an abusive relationship.
They’ve been together almost 6 years and in that time he has eroded her self worth. She once fell over and he laughed and said ‘thank god your nose broke your fall’ knowing she really hated her nose (hated as she ended up getting surgery). Put her down in front on others, I mean on a bus while on holiday everyone was asked what they loved all the men on the bus said their SO and this jackass said all the other ladies. I know he also was caught sexting a few years ago although the girl he was msging confirmed nothing happened and she wasn’t aware he was with someone.
Now they have a DD together, she was an accident.. since her birth this ‘man’ child has done so little to help. Sitting around on the Xbox and when things go wrong with their DD, by that I mean she cries, he blames my friend for not being able to handle it.. even said that my friend finds their DD a novelty when the baby was barely 6weeks.
My friend has now tried to end the relationship... twice, once while suffering from PND. But he won’t take it, she told him look I’m not happy and he has pretty much said that she is making all these unilateral decisions because she got away to her mums before telling him. Now she feels guilty and didn’t end it and he is acting like things are fine and normal.
What I need is advice on how I can help my friend? I honestly think she should have just ended it via text, this prick has even joked about making their DD an orphan and pushing my friend down the stairs, how the fuck is that even a joke. Yet when confront he tells her he is just joking, goes silent on her or does the whole guilt trip - gosh makes me so angry typing this
