My best friend for 10 years has developed a pattern of dating emotionally abusive men. This girl is very sweet and wants to see the best in people, but she is also a little co-dependent and insecure. She and her current boyfriend have broken up LITERALLY over 10 times in the last couple years. He is controlling, manipulative, unfaithful, and doesn't even have his s*** together...at all! I support this friend every time she has a problem, but this is getting old! I miss the "old" her and all the fun we used to have. I am married, but always set aside time for my friends, but her friends take the "back burner" every time they get back together. I have talked to her many times, but she is so stubborn. I pretty much stay out of it/ don't get involved, but it is like watching a train wreck over and over. I don't want to tell her how to live her life, but it is emotionally exhausting dealing with this all the time. I want her to find a nice guy that we can all hang out with, but he is super possesive and she is in "love". What to do?
She is talking about marrying him and basing her life's decisions around him also. I am so worried that she isn't going to "learn" until it is too late...
