I have a friend who is in a bad relationship. Her and her boyfriend are always fighting and she always calls me at least once a month to come get her and help her move all her stuff out of the house. (And she has alot of stuff) Anyway, so i've been doing this for over a year now and just recently when we were moving her stuff out "again" Her boyfriend said something along the lines that he was going to mess with my relationship with my boyfriend. Well thats the end of the line, I told her I will no longer help her if she goes back to him, and she did. It only lasted 2 days and she is calling me again. She wanted me to rush to her house and get her stuff out b4 he got home and I told her No!! I feel bad, but I'm sick of it. i want her to leave him and she keeps going back. Is it wrong 4 me to not help her anymore. I do not want to be anywhere around her boyfriend regardless if shes with him or not.

If he is threatening to cause issues with the relationship with your boyfriend then there is no reason why you should keep helping her after you told her that was the straw and you couldn't help her if she went back after him saying something like that. You have helped her enough and its up to her to finally get it through her head to leave this guy.

It is very distressing when women get wrapped up in bad relationships they cannot see what they are in. I have had many bad relationships, but at the time I couldn't see what everyone else was telling me about the man being bad for me. I never thought I would find a man who would love and respect me for who I am but, I have and he is my husband and my soul mate. I love him dearly and he loves me. It is easy if you have an abusive relationship for that to carry on like a viscious circle. A lot of the problems for women stem from them not respecting themselves so men won't respect them. I hope you can get help for your friend as it isn't nice to be the outsider and having to watch your friend go through this. I hope you can get her to see a counsellor.

Hi. A few years ago, I had a friend also and a cousin who were stuck in there own ruts of abuse and violent relationships, whom both have children... That in the end I felt like I was always of convinience for them, someone they could run too for a day or 2, easy support for there unbreakable cycles they chose to live in... Anyway it came to the point where I got sick of it, and put my own family and children first, sick of these women running to me, in terrible states, wanting help, when all they had to do was dial 111, as it is here in our country and simply lay charges... But these women found it so hard to do, which I can understand to a point, but, when theres children involved, normally you would put there safety, sanity and create a loving enviroment for them first, before your own and your mans selfish wants and needs... These types encourage child abuse and abuse on themselves, because they simply do nothing about it, they dont take action or simple steps for the safety of there children as well as themselves, instead they worry about what there partners are up too or that they dont want anything happening to him... In the meantime, the children suffer more... People like that are Sickening in my mind and I choose not to be of there convenience... Good luck to the lot of them...
