They are living in the same house awkwardly. He told her to get a lawyer but she can’t afford to pay for the retainer. She is basically trapped in the house with no car and no money. There is food.

Why do women do this to themselves?! I cant imagine relinquishing everything to a man and having nothing.

She probably didn't have a good job to begin with. She's only been out of the workforce for two years so if she was that qualified she should be able to find another job.

Per OP in her previous stories about this friend, the friend only quit her job this past December.

OP stop engaging in the drama. At this point you’re relishing it with your third thread. Your friend isn’t listening to you - it’s time to walk away and let her live her own mistakes.

I would not let her move in with you...you are crazy to even offer that to someone like her.

Do not let her move in with you and count your lucky stars that she is now mad at you. That’s your way of escape. Don’t get caught up in this drama.

Sounds like she needs to get her lazy self a job to earns some money

You let her move in with you and you’ll never get her out.
