Girl has problem!

This is about a friend of mine.
This girl likes a guy she dated (not me). They nearly got married, so there’s a link there.

Only…
The guy is always broke. He goes out with her, but she takes her car and pays for the gas, and she pays for what is consumed.
She only got a job this month and she still payed for everything before that, and took him everywhere on her car with her gas.

They aren’t dating.
They’re more bed buddies…
On more than one occasion he has cheated on her.
On more than one occasion she has gotten scared of him, because he threatned to beat her. Once she even thought about jumping out of a moving car because she was crying and was this scared of him.

He’s fit, and has muscles so; just like I told her; if he punches her in the face she is going to hit the floor.

She’s 28 and he’s 27, but he’s always behaving like a kid would.
He has 2 crappy cars, and one busted Vespa. (That was an example of a motorbike, not the real one, but one just like it). I still can’t understand why he has these vehicles if they’re all busted…

He has told her that they aren’t getting out of the bed buddy scheme.
She cried for a week because of that…

She tells me that she has friends that tell her that it’s sick for her to stay with him, and it’s an obsession…
I think she already knows she has to leave him, but I think she needs help.

[COLOR=Red]Anyone ever been able to help a person in this situation out?[/COLOR]

Get this! He introduced me to her, and currently I’m not finding him very funny.
:puzzle: Sorry for venting unto you kirupians… How do I help her? Can I?
