I agree, shiza. I had a friend I broke up with a while back because all she did was complain about everything and refuse to take advice. This situation is
similar, sadly

Your friend sounds like someone with low self-esteem. Its an unhealthy relationship and she has no one to blame but herself if she continues to allow
him to walk all over her. If she wants to continue the relationship, she should confront him about his behavior.

Jit, we don't have the specific knowledge you have about this woman and her relationship to be able to make an educated call, here. As others have said,
yep - the b/f could be in the wrong, and if so, she needs to either let him know that he's gotta shape up, or tell him "Adios!" and go find
someone who WILL treat her right. On the other hand, while it's obviously true that guys can be jerks at times, it's also true that women can be
'psycho' sometimes - which might be the case with your friend.
You've probably got a good gut feel which is likely the case. Just go with your best instinct, and advise / act accordingly.

An adult is only as abused as she (or he) allows themself to be. It's a two-person dance. One ain't dancing, it stops happening. Simple as that, but oh
so hard for those with low self esteem (for whatever reason) to "get."

I agree, PK, but it also may have to do with how long they've been together and how much they've invested in their relationship. It's easy to say,
just dump so-and-so and find someone new. But if it's a problem that can be fixed, it might be better to try to mend it than to start anew.

It ain't abuse if you enjoy it.

As an observer of abuse who tried to save my darling sister involved with no luck.. I say watch for serious warning signs, grow some balls, speak with the
authorities even if it pisses off the person you love.
I did all of the above and still lost my sister to cervical cancer from the stinking HPV given to her by her nasty, controlling, abusive, unfaithful husband who showed all the signs, but never paid for his horrible abuse even though she died. Yep. That disease that they NOW have a fucking cure for, killed her. But this asshole.. he hit her. He hit his kids. He destroyed her possessions and self esteem. He fucked around and gave her a disease that killed her. I testified because I saw it happen. I saw that and so much more.. but the judge wouldn't take their kids from him. I still pray he dies a horrible death.. and I still curse the fucking doctors who kept telling my sister she "Just had a venereal disease", and prescribed antibiotics for 5 months when it was really cancer caused by that fucking asshole. We knew it was something worse. She was suffering terribly. She was one of the first case studies when they figured out the cause of her cancer. He has custody of their 3 kids. I don't know where they are... I've looked, but I can't find them. I haven't seen them in 9 years. Talk with family and friends. Talk with the police. Don't stay quiet. Do whatever you can. I really miss my sister. |

I want to edit my answer somewhat after re-reading it.
Talk with family and friends. Talk with the police. Don't stay quiet. Do whatever you can. I really miss my sister.For sure keep an open dialog with family and friend.. but only talk with police if YOU KNOW ABUSE is occurring. (and hopefully have physical evidence.. which I never had) Getting evidence is a good thing. |

This "friend" is you, isn't it Jit?

Some people aren't happy unless they're bitching and moaning - my mother always complained about my father (not for being verbally or in anyway
abusive), but she didn't outlive him by much.

She sounds like a fat drama magnet.
My wife has one of those & i hate her fat guts. |

Women will leave a abuser an average of 8 times before making a final break.

Chicks want their man to be "in charge"

Maybe she's still wearing ribbons in her hair.

To be honest, it didn't sound like he was doing anything terribly abusive. He is the man and men tend to take charge and be controlling. It's not going
to be much different with other men.

Maybe she's looking for a man with a pussy.

Does anyone else remember SF's weirdly abusive internet relationship with Postcard Skye?
I think the person Jit's describing is not just a take-charge dude. |
