They have been dating for 2 years. When they started dating, he was in college and on, presumably, a positive path. Now he's a dropout, works a minimum wage job, deflects all responsibility for his life onto other parties, is dealing with his problems with alcohol, and is content to allow my friend to financially support him (~$400 a month). He's manipulative, does his best to cut her off from her friends, and is toxic to be around (glass half empty, everything always sucks, always sees the negative side of things).

Myself and a couple other friends have been trying to get her to see that he's bad news for 6 months. No luck. The harder we push, the more she resists. A direct approach hasn't worked.
