I've been chatting to a woman I met online for a bit now and she's revealed that her H abuses her, sexually and physically from what I can make out. She's very reticent to talk about it, and just says that she can cope, and it's fine really. I've tried encouraging her to talk to women's aid or similar but it seems like she doesn't want to confront the issue at all and would rather try and ignore it. I don't know what else I can say other than to listen if she does want to talk. I think I'm a bit of an escape from it in a way, but really can that help her at all?
(To avoid any drip feeding, yes I'm married too. I'm well aware of the morality of chatting to other women, but I'd rather not go into it all. I know full well how that will make me appear.)
