This VERY serious and struck warning bells for me immediately . . . this can quickly turn into a serious Domestic violence situation if it hasn't already . . . what he is doing is systematically breaking down her self esteem . . . This is going to need an intervention before it gets anymore serious . . .

Him at times forcing her to have sex is one of the first ways of controlling and abusing . . .

Is there anyway you can get her into couseling clinic and talk about what's going on and to deprogram her from this situation? It may not be too late to free her from this situation . . .

Here is a hotline that may help her:

This site offers help as well and a search that help you locate places that can help intervene in your state.

You've had the correct reaction to be alarmed by this man's behavior, it shows many classic signs and can potentially lead to more serious abuse and possessiveness . . .

I know it's hard because when someone turns away from you when they are in this situation, but it's because their abuser teaches them that their friends don't really care for them, it's his way of keeping her isolated . . . I know it's really hard, but you're a great friend to be concerned for her and if there's anyway to get her one last time to see that she is in an abusive situation . . . try it one last time. I applaud your compassion for your friend.
