Dear Mandy agony auntThe Only way she can do it is by just telling him its over, and if he wont leave call the police and get a restraining order. But is going to want to have to do this for herself, not for anyone else, not for you , but for her. Any pressure form anyone else at this stage will prolong her illness. She is clinically depressed, so very very fragile right now. She cant be expected to juggle her BF/ health/and sexual status on top of this. Just continue to be there for HER, if he is stopping her from contacting you be patient, let her know whenever she is ready your going to be there for her.

Dear Mandy agony auntThen the best you can do right now is remain her best friend, be there for her when things are looking bad, let her know she has a shoulder to lean on. Just no pressure, cause this must be all very confusing and hard for her right now.

Dear Mandy agony auntHI

I think you should let her try to work out her marriage, unfortunately many women go through this kind of abusive relationship, and are affraid to move on. She may very well have feelings for you, but I doubt they are the same as what you feel for her. Unless she finds the strength to leave this horrid man you dont have a chance. I suggest you try to move on, because if you hang around it could make things worse for her. If she does have the same feelings for you, then you will have to wait for her untill she is ready, can you do that? can you stay away and wait? it could be a year, two or even ten. are you prepared to put your life on hold? it must be very hard for you given the way you feel, but you should be with someone who can give you the love you need, and be sharing happy times together.
