NC as about a friend. I’m very worried as she’s recently met someone, as in in August, he’s moved in not paying anything towards bills or mortgage or living costs, drinks 14 beers a night, shouts and screams at her. She is a high earner but at risk of job loss at the moment. He earns much less and gave up his rental to move in with her. He wants to start a family with her. Her divorce came through in June and she has a son age 4 with her ex husband. Every time she drops son off with her ex, this new man goes ballistic and says she is cheating. I’ve met him regularly, he is usually drunk, he’s rude in a way that would be potentially banter if I’d known him 10 years...not ten minutes. On top of it all he doesn’t believe in covid and so refuses to wear masks and approaches people in the street who do, to make them uncomfortable. Last night she came over in tears saying she want to leave him. This morning it’s all fine again. I’ve never seen her cry in the 5 years we’ve been friends. I’m worried for her and cannot see her knowing this man isn’t complying with covid safety as I worry for my parents who I see sometimes. When I suggest she asks him to leave she gets defensive and it’s not my place so I’ve stopped. He’s never hit her but she’s scared he might.
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this behaviour pan out. I don’t feel I can do anything yet feel so worried for her.
