[quote=Anonymous]OP, please do not offer advice if you don't know her particular situation.

Just call her and listen. Then ask her if there is anything you can help her with.

Some marriages are so toxic that it would be horrible for you to try to persuade someone to stay a little longer.

Now if she shares her issues with you, and you are confident that she is telling you the whole story(be careful here because many people don't- they are ashamed to admit that they have been abused, cheated on several times etc) maybe you can offer some advice. Even then I would suggest they try therapy and not necessarily tell her to stay.

One of my friends who was cheated on several times -her husband slept with several prostitutes. It took her almosst 6 months for her to tell me the whole story. She started out by saying the guy cheated once. Imagine if I was telling her to see if they can work things through. I stayed neutral just emphasizing that I was there if she needed me.

One of my relative  "tried" to divorce her husband several times because he was a "baby" who did not help around the house". When she finally made up her mind, he bought a gun and started threatening her and their kids. We later found out that he had been verbal abusive(cursing at her daily, criticising everything she tried to accomplish etc) for most of the 10 years they were married. Everyone was shocked because he was very sweet to her and their kids in the presence of others.[/quote]
