Friend Considering Divorce

Need some advice here :) Have this friend whose marriage has been going down the toliet for the last several years. As she puts it, its like living with a roommate. When i asked her why she doesn't leave she always says the same thing (she made a promise, comittment) they have no children and i know for a fact she tried to walk away this past summer, but backed down and decided to go to counsling. I know that they are still doing it, but It hasn't worked, she is in the same place as she was a year ago. I know that she has fallen for another man, but as she puts it will not be with him because of a promise she made to stay in the marriage. I know that this is her choice, i just hate to she such a wonderful person be stuck or settle! Are these normal emotions for someone considering a divorce, has anyone been through something simliar ?
Thanks !
