My best friend of 15 years got married last november she had a baby in september and now her and her husband are splitting up her husband is abusive and refuses to help buy things for the baby and it's not because he doesn't have the money it's because he doesn't want her going anywhere but he won't go with her to buy the baby clothes..she calls me and asks me what to do and i've told her to get out of there and that she can stay with me if she wants...Am i doing the right thing by telling her to leave her husband?

Not ONLY are you doing the right thing, you might be saving her LIFE! Thank you for being supportive. You are a true friend to someone in need. Everyone needs someone like you!

You can say whatever, but I bet you she will go back to him. She married him she loves him. All you know is her side. You need to ask him about his side. There is always two sides. Let her make her own decision before you get your feeling hurt. Your friend may eventually blame you for causing her to leave her husband and taking her baby's father away. Let her make up her own mind...

Yes, your a good friend and all your doing is looking out for her. If hes abusive now its just going to get worse. She needs to leave now before anything else happens to her. I know its hard but life isnt always easy. Good luck and God Bless.

think that leaving her husband should be her choice, it's fine to offer her help, but don't get in the middle of it, because she may just go back to her husband after all is said and done, and than u will be in the middle of it.

absolutely, that is the right thing to do, and don't doubt it for a minute... good for you to stand up to an abusive husband while most people would just look the other way

The best thing would be to leave him, but unless you are in that situation its hard to just walk away. Give her your advice, if she takes it is up to her at least she can never say you didn't let her know how you felt.

Dump his worthless rear end.
It is not okay for someone to beat their wife and deprive their child. She needs to leave him, because it would be better to grow up without a father than to grow up fatherless.

definately!!!! she is lucky to have a friend like you, a lot of abused women have no place to go or people to talk to. you're a true friend!

If you define abuse as physical mistreatment then yes. If all he's doing is cursing then no.

Yes you are! She should get herself and her new child out of that situation as soon as she can.
