Should she break up with him?

My best friend recently started going out (about 3 weeks ago) with the man she's been crushing over since we were kids. He is one year older.





I really don't think he treats her right. And it's not the relationship she thought it would be. He also recently got dumped by a girl who still loves him, but figured he treated her wrong.


I think he is quite the same to her.


He calls her his ***** to his friends, he bums money from her all the time, he never says i love except after they have sex, he never calls her except when he wants her to come over or to meet him somewhere, when they go places and she tries to kiss him he will ignore her and walk away.





Yes, he is a jerk, but he isn't all the time. Sometimes when we are hanging out he will kiss all over her and then they will cuddle. Sometimes when he comes home from work he brings her flowers.





She hasn't told me that he's hit her, but sometimes she has bruises and I've seen a cut or two.


When I asked her what they're from, she's told me something that makes no sense.


Like, she slipped in the kitchen and hit her leg. And if I know her, (which I do more than anyone else) she doesn't bruise that easily.





I've been trying to convince her to break up with him because I hate seeing her like this.


She hasn't quite been herself. She's been more quiet, and not as fun.


She said she doesn't want to date him, but she doesn't want to break up with him because he'll hate her.





What are you thoughts on this situation?


Should she break up with him or wait a while to see how things go?Should she break up with him?
He's bad news and is just using her - she needs to LEAVE NOW before it's more difficult too





.... let me know where he lives and I'll be over with a shotgun.... ol' boy will be too scared to ever touch her again....





worthless sucker...Should she break up with him?
Oh man...another account :(. Most likely, it's this...


These relationships will never go right. The guy doesn't respect the girl, and doesn't really love her. He's really using her. He only has a few good times with her, and that's only in the beginning. The thing is, the guy doesn't treat the girl who's absolutely in love with him right, and then tries to make it up. She stays with him. Then, the treatment gets worse and worse, and he threatens...


He'll always say ';I'm sorry'; when he thinks it gets dangerous. Tell her to break up now. If he's a sensible fellow, he won't hate her if she gives a reason. If he does, then you'll know that the relationship would have gone downhill and this is better for her.
