My friend is in a total mess. She is financially broken with debts over her head. Her married life is shaky and often have misunderstanding with her in laws. Her husband doesn't want to help her with her problems. She cries most of the time talking with me. I have helped her a lot of times pay her debt or lend her money to support her family. Money that I know would no longer be returned to me. On top of it she messed up her work and was demoted with no permanent position in the company. I cannot just turn my back away from her because she is my friend and she is important to me. Often she tells me she cannot take all her problems anymore and she wants to commit suicide. Nobody can help her and she wants to end her life. She often txt me saying she is going crazy with all her problems. What will you do if you were me? I gave her money once in a while especially when her situation really gets worst or when she cries that her family no longer have something to eat but not enough to pay all her debts or alleviate her situation. Sometimes I just close my eyes and just forget how much money I have already given to her just to help her appease her sufferings and pain. I want to help my friend but how? what will you do if you were in my shoe?

I think it should be that way, husband helping his wife in every aspect...for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health. However, neither my friend or I can force her husband to help her. Nor go to the police just to persuade him to extend some help. It is his own decision to do so. I just wish the husband has enough love for my friend to help her overcome this fateful situation.
