And the distance that the relationship is causing with her friendships is scary because she's slowly becoming isolated. I'm waiting for him to tell her to quit her job because I think that will be the next request.

I had a female friend in a similiar situation. Her reasons for not being happy were slightly different, but she ended up being with someone for 3 years AFTER she decided she couldn't stand him because she didn't want to cause conflict. Now, almost 2 years later, she has been in a new, happy relationship for about a year and is horrified at how long it took her to get out of the last one.
Hopefully your friend doesn't make the same mistake.
