Have no Idea as to what to do

I have this female friend, she has been in a rocky 3yr relationship. The both of them work at the same place as well as live in the same house. She has come to me for advice and I am unable to help, so here I turn to you ppl. I was told that she needs a break from always being in the same area as he is. To tell you the truth the both of them need a break from each other, but the only thing is, he is someone that believes that she is to stay at home and take care of the kids. they get no time apart from each other, which in turn causes a lot of friction between the two of them. She also told me that he will more than likely check up on her and she just needs a day away I guess what i am asking is if anyone knows the best way to get across to him that it is for the better.

Nope, it depends on what his backlying reasons are for reacting this way. If he is hopelessly insecure and controlling reason will not prevail, your talking about emotions strong enough to be the source of most suicides and murders, depending again on the degrees of the people emotional balance and situational circumstance, how much shit he can handle and how much shit is on his plate.

Usually he needs to be distracted for this type of situation, he has to be off having fun before she can get a chance, you probably have to sedate him, if he is the worst obsessive kind. And if he is overly abusive in some way or too controlling she needs out of the relationship, if he's just being stupid than say so. Do something different together first then try something apart.
