Should I get involved? Edit**

My friends husband is crazy. He stalks her and obsesses over her every move. She knows he's crazy but idk to what extent. I'm genuinely concerned for her but I feel like if I say anything to her, it could make things worse for her and I don't want to do that.
How do you handle psychos??!!

Edit- I guess I should clarify... I am already "involved" because she has vented to me about him a few times. Also, he has cornered me about their issues...asking me if she's cheating, etc...he's very paranoid, lost his job because his stalking her consumes his life, he emailed me complaining about how she kicked him off Facebook....so I AM involved I guess.

My issue is, what do I do? Do I tell her that he's emailing me or do I pretend like it's not happening?

    Yes, they can still play together. She will ask why they can't play at her house tho.

    Right, so they can still play together.

    They can always play at my house. I don't trust him and I don't want my dd around him. What if she's over there when he finally loses it?! Not worth it.

    Why can't they play together any more?  Why can't they play at your house?

    I know. That would suck, but I'm between a rock and a hard place here. Our daughters are best friends. I don't feel safe having my daughter go to their house anymore. What do I say when she asks why they can't play together anymore??

    This - and be careful with your opinions, or you might end the friendship.

    She is choosing to be in a controlling relationship.  What should you do?  You should be supportive of her, whatever she chooses to do.  If you feel that you need to express your concerns, then do so - but be sure to share your support of her whatever she chooses to do.  
    It's not your place to "handle" her "psycho" husband, nor is it your place to tell her what to do.

    He doesn't, that's why he stalks her. He actually got fired from his job for slacking at work because he's so consumed with her. It's sad.

    This is a 55 year old man.

    If you get involved it will most likely make it worse for her. It may be what makes him go over the edge.  If she is seriously feeling she is in danger, she needs to contact a domestic abuse hotline and make a plan to get out.

    That's her psycho to deal with. I'd stay out of it... I'm sure she already realizes it, and chooses to deal with it. If he makes you uncomfortable and she isn't doing anything to stop it, maybe it's time you leave the both of them alone for a while...

    Hugs.
