I posted a couple of weeks ago but would like a bit more advice if you don't mind.
As I'm at a bit of a loss.
My friends boyfriend ended it with her 2 months ago.
They were together 9 years but didn't live together or had kids.
She seen him once /twice a week and that was just him taking her shopping.
I wouldn't even call it a relationship.
Anyway he was texting someone else.
She told him she could ruin his life as he slapped her once 8 years earlier (approx ) she said she could go to the police,he could loose his job.
She told him she would tell his mum and she would hate him (as her husband cheated)
He is quite timid and never had balls to stand up for himself.
She texts him daily and if he doesn't reply she rants to him.
I think he's scared of her and I think she's making herself ill.
He is still taking her shopping weekly.
She keeps saying to me "he still loves me,he wouldn't take me out food shopping otherwise,he would cut contact"
I think he's scared of what she would do if he cut contact.

I really want to help her but I don't know how.
I feel like she's heading for a breakdown.
What would you do to help?
I don't think he wants her back
