What to do… what to do…
Posted by Tara Landon on 11/21/2009
I have this friend who is dating this guy who has done absolutely everything wrong that you could possibly do in a relationship. He’s verbally abusive, he has cheated on her, he has taken advantage of her financially, he lies to her all the time and just generally treats her like garbage 
. But SHE WONT BREAK UP WITH HIM 
!!! I don’t know what to do!? I can’t stand seeing her being treated that way but at the same time she won’t listen to me and still stays with him! I’m sure some of you ladies have gone through this too… any words of wisdom? 
A special thanks goes out to Gloria for submitting this post.

How long has she been with this creep? That can make a huge difference.
If she hasn’t been with him for a long time, you may be able to intercept them. Either way you can try some of these things below.
The best thing to get a girl to see the truth about a guy is to get her away from him long enough to have a good time without him. If you can arrange a girl getaway, that may help. Being around all of her friends will remind her that she does have a life outside of this guy and that people do love and care about her and treat her right.
It is probably driving her mad that he has treated her so badly and she is longing for his acceptance. That is the reason she cannot leave him. As bad as this sounds, getting positive attention from other men can help as well. This is always tricky because if you take a girl that is in that situation out with her friends and she meets a guy who is also a dick to her, she will run back to her creep so fast! So take this route with caution.
The last thing you can try is encouraging her to spend time with her family. If she spends time with people who love her no matter what and have known her forever she may realize how much this jerk has changed her from who she used to be and who she really is.
I would suggest as well picking her up The Red Flag Rulebook. She will get the hint how you feel and get some sound advice at the same time.
