My friends current boyfriend is emotionally abusive and she knows it, but she won’t break up with him.

He has strict rules that she has to follow, for example she’s not allowed to go shopping without him being there, because apparently that’s what hoes do ???? He’s so delusion and misogynist.

He slowly isolated her from her family and her friends ( especially me because he knows I don’t like him ), so the only way I can talk to her is if she secretly calls me, as he checks our messages on all social medias.

He constantly causes arguments with her, checks up on her to checks she’s home and calls her disrespectful things. The worst part is he can get aggressive and I believe he will hit her soon.

He’s very very manipulative and tbh she’s very impressionable ( which also needs to change). She’s only 18 (we all are ) so I keep trying to tell her she’s so young she needs to not get into relationships and focus on herself, she agrees with me but she can never actually break up with him. Her main argument is that she does not want to be alone.

I said I will be there for her, but I think she wants me to constantly be with her all the time, which I can’t do ( she also says she’ll be alone because I’m going to uni in September ). I’ve been trying to tell her that she needs to learn to be alone ( btw she’s not completely alone she lives with her family ). My approach so far hasn’t worked, I really want to help her but she’s also kind of mentally draining because she tells all the bad things he does, knowing I’m going to give her solutions but she continues to not take them and stay with him.

So I just want some advice of which other ways I can help her and teach her some self confidence ( because she’s always had a low esteem and hasn’t improved at all ).
