Would you set the one you love free or have a one-sided love relationship?

I have a friend who is married to this jerk (pardon the word). He's been having affairs left and right and he even left this friend of mine for the nth time. What I don't get is why does my friend still keep on trying to save their marriage when all the guy ever does is make her life miserable. I have tried making my friend realize this but she does know what's going on but says she loves the guy (ugh). My friend says she feels that she doesn't even have any pride left in her, all she knows is that she has to stay with him and nobody else can have him. I told her it's not love anymore it's obsession and he's not even worth it. If this happens to you, it's obvious that the guy has no feelings towards you anymore but you're bounded by marriage, what would you do?

If I were in that kind of situation of course I will file a divorce. You are right about the feeling she had is not love but obsession. Love is a positive thing but what's happening to her is not good and it's the opposite meaning of the word love. She should love herself and also she should have respect because no one will do that. Why would you waste your time for someone who doesn't worth everything you are giving. Why don't you save that love and feeling for the right one. Maybe God is planning to give you a better man which will give you more happiness that your husband can't give. Life is short so live it and love it. If he doesn't want you then move on, know where you stand and let him know that you can survive all of this by showing him you are strong by moving on. Life has a lot more to give so move on girl and enjoy life.

thanks for your response. I just hope my friend wakes up one day and realizes all of these.
