I have known my friend for about 2 years now. In that period of time, I learned that she fully supports her 32 year old boyfriend (she is 24) while going to grad school and living off of student loans. This guy hasn't graduated from high school, the five years they have been together, he has worked a few months here and there, but he depends on her entirely (car, housing, food, gas, cell phone, you get the idea). He has gotten fired from ever job that he has ever had, and the reasons he gives her are classic: " the manager wanted to sleep with me and when she realized I wouldn't cheat on you, she fired me," "I was doing the job better than the manager and she felt threatened and fired me," "Oh I didn't get that job because the manager said I was too qualified." 

Anyway, recently, she decided to move out and "stop" supporting him. But he still has full control of the car, and comes over to get money, and makes her feel guilty for "abandoning" him and leaving him homeless. Yesterday she decided to not see him, he called her 30+ times, and when she finally picked up the phone, he threatened to drive over a cliff and kill himself if she did not agree to see him. She of course agreed, he stayed the night with her, and when I saw him leaving this morning, he had the biggest shit eating grin on his face, and literally skipped his way to her car. Manipulative much??

Anyway, she knows he is bad news and wants to leave him (at least that is what she tells me), but she is afraid that he will kill himself if she does.
