Maybe she loves him unconditionally? Maybe she takes her marriage vows seriously?

When I was a little girl, I never understood why my father stayed with my mother. She was an alcoholic, she was mean, lazy and suicidal. While she was in a coma after a suicide attempt I finally asked dad why he didn't divorce her. He said "When you look at your mother, you only see a weak and pathetic person. When I look at your mother, I see the beautiful and vibrant woman I married." I'm thankful now my father took his marriage vows seriously - his love was all she had in life.

Has your friend given you any indication she wants to leave her husband?
