It's abuse. The very best thing she can do is discontinue any and all contact with him. He won't stop without intensive therapy and it sounds as though he doesn't think he's behaving inappropriately to begin with. Send your friend to www.violenceunsilenced.com; she may see herself in some of the stories there and begin to realize that her situation is unhealthy and potentially dangerous. It would be beneficial for her to seek some counseling as well so she can learn to recognize abuse, avoid it and improve her own self-esteem so she doesn't end up in future abusive relationships.
