I think she feels like she has to be with someone to be happy or whatever. They've been together for about 15 years, so I think she also doesn't want to feel like a failure and would rather put up with it than be alone. I've asked her before why she even bothers with him, but she gets mad and says that I wouldn't understand
That's a sad, but at least an honest answer.
Honestly though some people act like being single is the worst thing that could ever happen to you. It's really not. It's a much worse fate to be with someone you're not all that fond of.
