Really concerned about my friend

This is really outing so I hope she isn't on Mumsnet but here goes. Don't want to drip feed but her DH is just a vile narcissistic pig who has caused my friend no end of stress. His most recent being having an emotional affair with a work colleague.

My friend forgave him but today had a gut feeling and asked him if she could see his phone. lo and behold he was back to his usual tricks. They had an argument, she told him to pack his bags and leave then went upstairs to let him carry on. Next minute she hears a commotion, runs downstairs WARNING MAY BE UPSETTING

...to find him battering their dog. She pulled him away and the dog is ok. But now her DH will not leave. He says it's her fault he beat the dog up cause she hasn't trained him to behave. And he's saying he's not going anywhere as it's his home and marriage. She says he's going from being vile nasty to asking if she wants him to cook her some food. He thinks it will all blow over and she'll forgive like last time but obviously that's not going to happen again.

The house is both of theirs, how the fuck can she get him to leave?

Ok, be sensible people. The police are not going to come out because the DH hit his dog and she can't change the locks while he is out. He could just call the police and they would make her let him in.

She needs to get her ducks in a row and call women's aid. If she is unsafe then she must call the police, but if not, then she just has to make her plan to leave/contact a solicitor etc.

If she won't leave then you need to keep an eye on her. You can't make her leave him but one day she will need you, so you need to do as she asks for now

Thanks

ask her to stay at your place for a few days?

They absolutely WILL! This is behaviour designed to intimidate and threaten the OP. There's a very good chance they will ask him to leave the property for the night for a cooling off period.

She really needs to get the dog to a vet tonight before doing anything. It could have internal bleeding/bruising and could be in pain. She's risking that dogs life by not doing anything.

The details I gave were very accurate and true.. The behaviour of ddog prob told the woman she was unhappy and I was correct.
To this day friend has no idea it was me.
