Come to think of it, she needs psychological help than he does. This sort of toxic personality is usually a result of some sort of trauma, she probably got abused when she was little.

Pekka:

From what I read, I think violence towards the girl is in order. If she indeed threatened you last time when you asked if it would be okay to hit her, then don't restrain next time.
To understand how it is to be hit because someone else is thinking you are an butthole, she has to experience it. Hit her, hurt her, and win. And once she's calmed because she has lost, explain her, why you did so. Use the simplest possible explanation. Use her words if you need to.

This person is not a "woman" in the meaning of a weak person unable to defend herself. It is violent and trained in fighting. It is a rightful opponent. It is someone you can beat the crap out without going against your code.

If it doesn't work, there is always the police. Household violence is as much forbidden as any violence. Since you are precisely describing a household violence situation, the police can very well punish her, and force their separation.

As since the friend is the wuss you described, I hardly think their separation would be bad. I'm sure he stays with her because of a mix of apathy, fear, and still a tad of love.

Get them separated, with help of the police if you need to, and talk to your friend into hating her after that. If he's easy to influence, you'll have no problem doing so. Help him finding a new girlfriend (by hanging out in girlfriend hunting grounds). He has to replace this monster before she absorbs him definitely.

As Che puts it, it is a common domination relationship. You have to get your friend out of it

Society has changed. Especially in Finland, women have now the same rights as men. It includes the right of being hit like a man. There is something worng in hitting defenseless people. There is something wrong in hitting innocent people. There is nothing wrong in hitting strong and violent people - the gender is irrelevant.

Tired of ads?

In Finland there are lots of people who think you should never ever hit a girl, even a demon like described, and they are called juntti's here. I don't know what they are in England, but in USA juntti is called a hick. Chivalry before common sense.

Well anyway, there is a possibility of her being a psychopath, not just an ******* with broken childhood or something. If she is, you can't cure that, nobody can. If that is the case, you cant change her at all, so your only hope is changing him. Remember, most psychos aren't easily noticed, they appear to be somewhat "normal". Here a short describtion: "a person who has no feeling for other people, does not think about the future and does not feel bad about anything they have done in the past".
I think you should influence him regardless, even if she is not... I mean how are you going to find out if she is or isn't. Oh and if she is, I don't think she will learn anything if you punch her, she will just have fear influencing her after that, not regret or understanding of what she is doing to him.

Spiffor, I can't really do that.. even if she attacks me. We're so backwards country still, that we think protecting women should be number 1 priority. Even if the woman in question is not worth it.
Some women use it to their advantage, I once saw outside bar in closing time this woman yelling 'woman beater' and pointing to a guy, and I know he wasn't touching her at all, but it doesn't matter, you don't have to know the woman when the code is to punish the one 'guilty'. It was like magic words, suddenly he got all the attention. Fortunately bouncer was alert and he knew nothing was going on and protected the guy.

Some women have this weird logic, that they can hit men when they so please. They can respond things with violence and hitting. And that men can't hit back. I believe, that women can't hit men like men can't hit women. Sure, it's likely that it hurts more if men hit women, but so what? Hitting is wrong to begin with, and if you start hitting seriously, you're asking for it.

But I won't do that. I'll just grab her hands, but I might apply a little pressure for her to remember. She won't attack me, I know it. So I'm not in trouble.
Here, hitting a woman is asking for troubles. It's more safe to stab the president. You'll be labeled forever and people will remember. It's enough for the rumour to spread and someone to hear, complete stranger, that I supposedly hit a girl, and I know I'll be wrestling in a matter of few seconds. Even if it was few years ago. These people are the true hicks, who attack anyone without a good reason.

Besides, I have had my scuffles and I can't really engage with anyone without a very good reason and clear self defence, or I'm looking at bad times. I don't have any problems controlling myself though, I'm the master of myself.

About domestic violence, cops won't even come. Here, domestic troubles are believed to be mans and womans personal troubles. When it gets dangerous and really violent, then maybe cops come to check out. In this case, no chance.

I don't think she's a true psycho, but that she really has issues controlling her anger, and that she's always angry. She's dominant person with her friends as well, but she's the worst with my friend. Ok, I'm out of here for a moment, have to prepare the BBQ for few minutes.

It's a very sticky situation. The best hope is your friend's girlfriend suffered some psychological trauma, so by getting her professional help you will help your friend as well. I am sure your friend knows more about her past to shed some light on the situation.

Regardless, you need to minimise her impact on him, which is not easy. It seems like he has developed some sort of dependency on her already, bad news. Maybe he could use some professional help to get rid of this dependency, but he has to be willing to accept help.

I don't envy your position, guy.

If you have to defend yourself just grab her and spin her to the ground.

You wouldn't have to hit her but you would still get her out of the way.

And if you won't touch her, calling the cops isn't out of order.

Pekka shouldn't do that abusive woman's work for her. If she wants his friend to sever the relationships, she's gotta do it.

In the meantime, Pekka, have you ever tried ordering him around like his gf does? Just order him to break up with her.

These days, threats of physical violence I meet with one phrase;-

"Go on then." Usually accompanied by a smile.

The ball is in their court then, and they have to be pretty drunk/mad to accept such a challenge.

No threats back, no trying to walk away - just tell them you are ready and willing.

As for hitting a female - no, not even in self defence. And I mean they were HITTING me, not a slap round the chin. All I do is pick them up by the ears and tell them to stop.

I can't reccomend that Pekka hit this bad girlfriend in question. For one, your friend may rise to her defense or it may lead to him cutting off his relationship with you. More importantly, it could land you in some serious problems if she decides to press charges.

Pekka, I really can't see how this is your call.

It's for your friend to decide to break off this relationship... seems to me if he didn't dig it, he would get out anyway.

I can understand you being upset about him being dominated and bullied. Believe it or not, that's what some guys look for in a relationship.

I realy don't judge my male friends on where they choose to dip their wicks (assuming consenting adults, of course).

Erm, I would suggest you invite your friend somewhere and kindap him for a while.

I'm dead serious.

Don't fukking let him meet her, and make sure he undergoes intense brainwashing from all of his friends during that time.

Also involve his family, as heavily as you can. Wind his parents against his gf, and use them.

Saying that there is nothing Pekka should do, is like saying that people should do nothing about abusing partners. Some people only want to defend the victims if they are women. Sorry, men are victimized too.

Amen to that Pekka, I have lost so many friends to evil, evil girlfriends...as soon as they are under the thumb, you won't get to see them again as they will be chained up and sedated, forced to listen to Celine Dion with them and be dragged around department stores and Ikea pushing the trolley while the dominant female half spends half an hour presiding over each item, fondling and smelling it, trying it on and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' to which the poor friend of mine is obviously overwhelmed...he is worn down. Resistance is futile, you will be used as a sex toy and shopping plaything...
