[quote=Anonymous]She needs a very clear conversation about how this plays out should they stay together. How he will act this way about her friends, her family, her coworkers, their kids if they have then.

How this is not normal or healthy, and that sometimes young kids might be jealous or possessive of their best friend, but they mature beyond this.

Tell her that we are meant to be in groups and you want her to have a full life. How people this insecure will only get more constricting, not less. How if he wants to limit her, that isn't love based, but power and control, and it isn't healthy.

Tell her that everyone has some downsides but that at 18, this isher best time to meet people and make connections. And that if she doesn't do them now, she'll miss a big part of adult development and it will be harder and harder to leave. Many relationships are for a season and this season is not conducive to a well life. Really put it in perspective using examples of neighbors and their kids, you, etc of they tried this on people they care about. This guy sounds like bad news, and if she hasn't left yet, she's probably already a little sunk. Even if she gets mad, you need to say the truth here.[/quote]
