When I say her boyfriend is vile, I mean he is vile. He has recently been to court for assaulting someone (he got off not guilty though). He talks down to her so much, calls her a whore/c*/scumbag. Always accuses her of cheating every time she’s out, calling her an awful human being. Says things like “dunno why I even keep you around, trash” and “women would be nothing to us if they didn’t have vaginas”.
Everytime we go out as a group of friends, he always ruins the night for her even when he’s not there, by texting her abuse or accusing her of all sorts. She always has to lie about where she is in case he kicks off, and she always ends up crying everytime we do something. It’s so heartbreaking to see.
In general she’s also had complaints from neighbours about him smoking weed, or driving recklessly and noisily outside.
It’s so hard to watch, because she’s so young (22) and is so so lovely successful and beautiful. She could honestly be with anyone she wanted, and I’d love for her to thrive with someone lovely.
But it’s so hard to find the balance of giving her advice and supporting her in her decisions.
She always says she is done and tired of it but then can’t find the strength to leave him.
Me and my other friends are at a complete loss and my heart breaks more for her every day. So what can I do?
