guys, there could be tons of reasons why not want a divorce. my friend had similar situation and she is only separated because a divorce is not the best for her kids, not right now anyways and this 2 years gives her the time to sort things out.
Dont judge her desicions, the keyword is she was verbally abused and when that happens to a woman i can assure you there will be tons of oportunities that she will give him. And still be surprised after the separation. There will be moments when she will even miss him and she will wish the family was never apart.
So please dont make this thread a discussion of whys and why nots and instead give her the advise she needs if you have it.

Thanks, and sorry but this kind of things really bring out feelings i try to bury.
