Your wife needs to sit down and talk to her friend about it. Maybe she can convince her to seek help. However, I don't think your wife needs to tell her friend's fiance. Her friend confided in her and it is not ok to break that trust. If she does, it will more than likely destroy the friendship.

Eating disorders are very very hard to overcome. First of all....If her man really loves her....he will help her not leave her. That will only make her eating disorder worse.(believe i know). I am battling bulemia myself. It sucks.
