Concerned Relative

Hello,
This is my first post here (so forgive me if I don't use abbreviations etc, still learning! :) )

I'm posting as I'm concerned about my cousin and the relationship he's entered. They've been together just over two years and have a baby together - they got pregnant really quickly into the relationship and there's been nothing but drama since.

It's mainly on the girlfriend's side, for instance, my cousin doesn't seem to be allowed to have his own opinion anymore, if anyone asks him a question she answers for him, he's gone on medication for stress, there's an ex involved who she's not fully separated from yet and a load of other stuff that signal red flags.

I guess what I'm asking is how do you tell if a man is in an abusive relationship? There's a lot of info out there, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience on warning signs that could indicate what's going on behind closed doors? I'm doing my best to stay out of it, but I'm concerned, especially as there's a child involved and I'm not sure what the right thing (if there is a right thing to do) is?
