she has been putting up with his drinking and drugs. she wants out. how do I tell her to dump this loser.Friend wants advice on husband?
';dump this loser'; doesn't that say it all? But it's not up to you - she has to want it for herself. I had a friend who had a loser boyfriend, and after months of telling her to find someone who's human, I finally gave up. Eventually she did figure it out - love is blind and stupid sometimes.Friend wants advice on husband?
Being a true frien it is a very serious matter with you telling a friend to dump her husband. Although you may only want wht is best for her she may resent you later for telling her to leave her husband. On the other hand, he may be a downfall for her and you would hate to see that happen. It is important that you continue to listen an be a friend for her no matter what. People are very different and will handle situations differently, while you yourself may not accept a drug-addict or alcoholic,other crave for this type of needy person in their lives. Do you think your friend would be truly happier without her husband? Some view marriage vows as sacred and want to be there for the better or worse. Just be there for your friend when she needs you. You can also suggest she get some professional help for her husband.
Tell her to read a book on co dependancy as she is obviously co dependant...that she thinks he might needs her or love her but the truth is, given the option of her or the drugs, he would choose the drugs/alcohol. I was with an addict for years and he never quit, lied to me, stole from me, beat me, etc. and I kept thinking ';oh but I love him and he loves me';
It takes strength to walk away, it takes weakness to stay.
Good luck
Up front and direct. However, not everyone listens. My sister has been ';wanting'; to get out of her relationship with her loser b/f but she is still with him, despite him cheating, wreaking her car, calling the cops on her and so much more! It doesn't how many times or how you say it, it may or may not sink in to that person.
You already said she want's out, so she doesn't need you to tell her to dump him. What she needs is practical help like contacting a professional for assistance.
If she is a close friend like to asking u like that, then go ahead and tell her that plain and simple, thats why friends are for..
tell her she deserves better and you will support her in any way possible
