Am I better of single?

My husband and I used to have such an amazing relationship, but it all seemed to change slowly as each child came along. We've got three children under 7 and at first he was great with them, really attentive and helpful, he'd read them bedtime stories and make sure he played with them every night after work. But for the past year and a half I've felt like a single mother. He's changed his hours at

He has been such an a** hole that I just

Is he hitting her?

I'm really concerned that a friend of mine is being abused by her husband. She has become really closed off and quite and she is wearing baggy jumpers on hot days. It's a bit odd. The other day I went to hold her arm and she winced and I asked what was wrong and she said leave it and and walked off. Her husband is a bit of a drunk and I don't know what to do.
