My friend Sadie got together with this dude a year and a half ago. He was studying to be a lawyer at the time and has since passed the bar. When Sadie first got with this dude she kind of disappeared. Within a few months her Facebook was deactivated and she never responded to snapchats. I figured she was just busy until I got a call at 1 am with her sobbing and telling me I can never text her or call her about what she was going to tell me unless she started the conversation about it. Red flags shoot up and i agree...so she tells me how her boyfriend has spent their whole relationship accusing her of cheating constantly, getting drunk and trashing her apartment while screaming about what a whore she is, etc. and she needed to talk to calm down. I talk to her for hours and she falls asleep. This becomes a regular occurrence. Despite him controlling every aspect of Sadie's life, he believes every time she is out of his sight shes cheating. He made her deactivate Facebook because it was easier than deleting and blocking all her Male friends. He is always on her phone hence the restriction on talking about it. 

She is active military and he is a lawyer from a wealthy family. He has made her cut off most friends because they "dont mesh with his friends" (rich kids who look down on people like her and i who are enlisted active duty) and she goes to work and comes straight home, never leaving unless he is with her because she feels like can somehow convince him to trust her. 

She has broken up with him 4 times. each time she comes to stay with me because he rages and breaks her furniture and threatens her dogs (she brings the dogs to my place too) etc and she doesnt feel safe.

She kind of dropped off again a few weeks after their last breakup. Today she invited me to a St Patty's thing and as I arrive she tells me he is there and to be nice.

Now here is why i did a possibly asshole thing. This guy knows I attempted prescription medication overdose a year ago. When they broke up last he spewed a ton of shit like how i would "be dead or in a nuthouse soon" because I am "a psycho fucking loser like the rest of you navy fucking losers."

I turned around and walked away today. She begged me to stay and said I had to be friends with him if I wanted to be friends with her. I finally washed my hands of the situation. With everything he said about me, she didnt even tell him he owed me an apology. She was just so happy he was being nice to her again that she forgave everything. She can't understand why I would be personally insulted by his actions and not want to just forget about what he has said and done like she does. 

I dont want her to feel alone because I'm her last friend that is not a friend he has allowed her to make and I just can't any more.
