He then started slapping her, but when I told her to leave him she said he'd had a lot of stress at work and that as soon as that was over he'd change. She's now been hospitalized a couple of times, yet she tells me that now that her husband's boss has resigned he'll be less stressed and "perhaps without so much stress, better judgement will pervail". Do you think I should back her decision and wish her luck?
