I Have a Friend That Left Her Husband Because He Was Mean
Posted: 09-18-07 02:29am

I have a friend that left her husband because he was mean and had low self esteem. She is a long lost high school crush that I ran into on the Internet and have since been trying to build a friendship with.

I never picked up on it right away when she said she had left him because he was mean that it meant he was probably abusive.

She was married to him for 5 years. She told me that she isn't herself and that she has been spending lots of time with her family and is still consumed with problems.

She said she was still in love with someone, she would not say who. I think it is her past husband. I have read that in many cases a woman can still feel love for a mean abusive husband even year and years after the separation. Is this true?

If anyone can help me out here on that my second question is. What can I do as her friend to help her. I tell her she is a strong person. I literally say I am rooting for you, but she hasn't ever really told me exactly what the problem is.

I am almost certain that I am right. I am just trying to take it easy and tell her she can trust me. I guess I just really REALLY care about her. She is the most beautiful girl and she is very intelligent. It is hard to believe that she would make such a bad decision in picking a husband if this is the case. But how could any man dare to hurt such a wonderful woman.

I know this is late in posting. Take it from me. The only thing u can do is be there for her. Let her open up to you and when she does just be there for her. All she needs is friends to be there for her. It will help her out in the long run. I to am from an abusive relationship and i have some friends that knows everything and been there for me that it was 6 months after leaving my husband that i finaly opened up about me feelings. It will take time. I just finaly got my divroced finalized the 14th of dec of 2007.

Like i saw just be there for her.
