I am talking here about my partner's best friend's relationship with her husband. She's living miserably because she is stranded in relationship that make her used, abused, unloved and unhappy. And as days go by, she becomes more suppressed in bitterness and loneliness. She doesn't know exactly how to tell to her husband that she doesn't like him anymore. She said that staying with him causes more pain than joy, and it's time for her to take a decisive stance. She wants to say goodbye? Anyone who would like to share his/her thoughts on this? Any advice(s) you can give would be very helpful.

i think both of them should seek counseling help.this would help both of them ease their pain and stress and maybe things might go differently in future.seperation would be the last option.

that would be the most ideal way. or may be i can suggest to the girl to seek the help and support of a woman's group that deals with women's rights and abuses. yeah, i think that's the best advice i can give her.

All I can say Why is she still there. Life is to short to be bitter,sad and lonely. She could just walk out and never look back. She needs to tell him before she gets sick or worse think of other ways to excape

the fear is there because her husband is a high ranking police officer. you know what i mean..i cannot blame the girl. i think you are right for the girl to get a lawyer to settle all this.

I guess before doing what she really plans maybe she should seek help from her parents or someone in authority so that the guy could not do any harm further. I guess consult a lawyer too on what best to do so that her exit may be smooth and the husband would not do anything that could harm her further. Maybe a long talk is needed for him to realized what he is doing to her with their lawyers or somebody that this guy respects.

that's what we are actually thinking of by referring her to a marriage counselor or a lawyer in case she really wants to file a legal separation. we just can't advise her and follow what we are saying because the guy involved here is a high ranking police officer. we might be putting ourselves in hot water.
