How to stear somebody away from a wife-beater boyfriend.

My coworkers have come to me to try to get a fellow coworker of ours away from a leeching wife-beating boyfriend that she's presently dating. I'm the one that gets to be the spokesman because apparantly she had a crush on me at one point.

Now it's not a case of heresay. This guy has a history. 31, 3 failed marriages (one of which was a former employee at my workplace). She's even admitted to him doing a couple things that are certainly not "normal" or "accidental". On top of it, he's a leech. So we all know what's gonna happen...he's gonna suck her dry, beat the crap out of her, and leave.

Everybody else is getting frustrated trying to get through to her. I've tried talking to her and even being ultra sweet, but it's like she doesn't get the trouble and danger she's getting herself into.

How do you get into it across to somebody like this?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

From what I've been told, she's been "split open" once, and even though she has told me once that she'd "leave him if he hit me". Apparantly she said that happened herself to somebody.

And I know something else has happened, but I'm too disgusted by it to even discuss it here. Basically, he turned her into a bathroom. You figure it out. *pukes*

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm going to assume that means she got a deep cut and not some sexual inference.

From what I've been informed, it's indeed the former.

I hope it was voluntary though

No.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I figured getting an ex-wife was a good idea, even before creating this thread. I'm sure one of the members of the group knows her and can get her to meet up with my coworker, being that some of my group worked at the same time she did and probably know her somewhat.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

They'd give better advice than anyone on the forum.

You may be right, but you guys are people who may know of resources that I might not be aware of. That's the advantage a forum brings.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Funny, turns out our local paper has just concluded a story about this very issue. Including the phone number to the local crisis hotline.

Although trying to get through to her at this point is like running through a brick wall. All it does is land me on my ass. *sigh*

I really try to be a good friend to her, but it's getting hard the more she's getting herself screwed in this relationship (figuratively AND literally).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
