If you thought someone you hardly knew was in an abusive relationship, what would you do?

I suppose the answer is nothing and you would mind your own business but I keep thinking them. They might not feel they are in an abusive relationship. I don't know if any good could come from me getting in touch.

I was in one. Looking back I wished people had pointed it out but tbh even after leaving I still get people who want to try and make out it wasn't abusive more than people who had thought it was

If you're not being put in hospital regularly enough... people say it's just "arguments"

If from a distance you suspect it is... is it already incredibly severe?

I was talking to a lady at toddler group and she seemed very down. She talked about her husband a bit and I knew he was an arsehole.
I just pointed out to her that it wasn’t on and he was mistreating her and she eventually made the decision to leave him.
It may not be successful but it’s worth pointing out she’s not alone and you’d like to help.

I was also in one, you see. I told almost no one. The only people I did tell told me to leave. I hadn't realised I was in one, although that is shocking with the benefit of hindsight.
