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?

    You can't help her if she doesn't want your help. The only way to step in is if you see him physically hurt her. Just be there for her moral support.

    He's not physically abusive. She's vented to me about him before but HE emailed me yesterday complaining about how she kicked him off Facebook.

    I pretended like I didn't get the email. I don't want to get involved on HIS end. At all. I don't agree with his behavior.

    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.

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