I just read the OP again to see if I could gather what's going on here.
Shesus never mentioned that this was emotional abuse. She never mentioned that she wanted to save her friend from the relationship. She never mentioned wanting to debate the legality of what the boyfriend was doing. She never mentioned that her friend's life was in danger. She simply mentioned that her friend has changed since dating this guy, is less outgoing than she was before and less interested in her personal hygiene than she once was. She then mentioned a few of her interchanges with him and his behavior when he was at our place one night.
After reading some of the responses in here, I'm wondering if some of you are responding to some other thread somewhere else.
For the record, I don't know her friend that well. I've only met her a few times, but I did notice a definite douche-baggery on the part of the boyfriend when he was here to the point where we were about to ask him to leave until he decided on his own that it was time to go.
