Thank you, Velocity_14! I agree with what you and the others have said. I need to put a stop to this cycle.
I have been thinking a lot about what is driving these two to stay with these losers. It boils down to these ladies not wanting to be alone. I doubt either of them would be lonely if they dropped their current partners. They are both well educated, friendly, and attractive...but for some reason, desperate to the point they'll put up with anything. You know what's odd, though? The friend with the boyfriend is constantly talking smack about the friend with the abusive husband (saying that *she* is brainwashed, *she* needs to leave *her* man, etc.)! Unbelievable!
I appreciate the perspective that all of you ladies have provided here. I am supposed to meet up with friend #2 (the one with the boyfriend) for a movie tomorrow. I think I will suggest we also go for coffee and have a good talk.
I'll let you know what happens.
