Long story short: I introduced my friend to her boyfriend 4 years ago. At first, he (her boyfriend) and I met on a dating site, but I wasn't interested in him that way so we just were friends. I introduced them and he instantly developed feelings for her, but she didn't like him that way right off the bat. He chased her for 7-8 months before she finally gave him a chance and they've been together since. When they first started hanging out, we all hung out together. We were like the Three Musketeers. Even when they started dating, we all hung out together and there was never any third wheel awkwardness. Everything was fine. Fast forward to when they moved in together maybe 2 years ago. He began to make her so miserable. She often told me she felt like she was raising 3 kids instead of 2 (she has 2 kids from a past boyfriend). He has helped raise the boys, but literally never lets the kids do anything. When my friend tries to parent the boys in her own way (as she IS their mother and he's not of relation to them), he steps in and shoots her parenting style down. Many times I've been over there and they've done so much arguing that you could just feel the negativity and toxicity. Last summer, I had enough of everything going on. He was making her SO miserable that she was being really rude and cruel to me and my best friend (who WAS friends with them and living with them at the time briefly). We cut them out of our lives. My friend and I have since gotten in touch and she is still very miserable with him. I've basically told her that we can't truly be friends (like hanging out friends) until and unless she realizes she deserves better and leaves him. I think she thinks she will have nowhere to go because her dad isn't in her life and never has been and her step-dad is a jerk and manipulates her mom into not allowing my friend to live with them. Her sister lives in another state and she could probably move there, but she doesn't have the money to move. How do I convince my friend to leave her scumbag boyfriend? She's 27 and he's about to be 32, I believe. Also, the reason I don't wish to hang out with her until/unless she leaves him is because right now, her car is the only car they have and he uses it for work (she's unemployed right now due to health issues) so she's stuck at home all day and I don't have a car at the moment myself. She has never tried to get child support for the boys because the father is abusive and she wants no part of him in her life or their life.

My boyfriend wants outdoors sex. Because his apartment is crowded with family. And I live long distance and my mom would kill me if I bring a boy into her house (no sneaking him in either). But he really wants to have sex, we have been together for 2 years with no sex. So this will be a first time together. Thing is, he wants to do it outdoors. In a forest type area. Possibly somewhere in a park in the city. I find this to be somewhat risky and slightly scary. Because he also wants to do this at night time. He claims this "area he knows" will be dead at that time. Has anyone done this before?
