my friend and her boyfriend
my friend and her boyfriend have been dating for a little over 2 months and he practically lives at her house with her, her brother, and her brothers friend. her boyfriend cory is controlling of her and doesn't ever let her hang out with her friends without him and when she does hang out with me cory gets really mad at her thinking that she would rather spend time with me then him. so when me and my boyfriend wanted to go to the beach with my friend, Cory didnt want her to go so when i called her house he said she was in the shower and would tell her i called and tell her to call me back which she never did. but, cory always goes and hangs out with his friends all the time without my friend while she is working and even when shes not. im just very concerned for my friend because im scared for her when she realizes what a jerk he is being and if she decided to break up with him, that he might want to hurt her, i dont want to ruin our friendship but i just dont know what to do, me and my boyfriend are both very concerned. does anyone know what we can do? please help

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
You guys can try and give her some space. I mean she will probably have to realize it herself. sge might even be aware of the problem but she loves him so she deals with it. You should also try and open up to her sbout it tell her how you feel. Explain to her that her being happy and her not getting hurt means a lot to you. Have a conversation with cory too.... good luck... hope i helped

I think that your concern shows how good of a friend that you are, you are correct that controlling boyfriends often turn into abusive ones. As her friend the best thing for you to do is to voice your concern, but beware that she might get offended and jump down your throat, often girls who are in controlling relationships don't see that risk and they think that their boy is doing everything because they love them, while in reality it is simply because they want complete control over their significant other.
She will probably ignore your concerns, I know that when my friend was in an abusive relationship she didn't want to hear anything that I had to say. In the end, she had to learn on her own, and I had ot be there for her. As a best friend, your job is to be supportive even when you don't agree with what they are doing. Just be careful, tread lightly, and be there for her when she needs you.
Hope I Helped :)
