If you saw a man verbally/emotionally abusing his wife, would you interfere?

What if this man was your own father, and the wife was your mother? Is it your business to tell him to cut it out?

I don't think it's any of your business. Just stay the hell away. Don't interfere and make a fool of yourself in the end.

If everyone could just behave like this and mind their own business, this world would be a happy place.

If the average woman spent more time paying attention to the facts than running her stupid mouth, there would be less of you in jail for malicious defamation.

“The world is a dangerous place. Not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing”

How could you possibly not do something— Shocking that anyone would let that happen in front of them. Smh.

Every time I intervene they end up getting in even worse of a fight and they tell me to stay out of it.

I tried to confront my dad afterwards but I started to cry and he just laughed at me. You know what’s fucking disgusting? He kept insisting my mom was in the wrong, and I asked him how and he kept telling my mom to tell me what she did wrong. I literally told my mom to not answer for him and asked my dad several times to tell me what she did wrong, and it was some ridiculous shit that no one else who was witnessing the altercation saw it as. Like “she was intentionally trying to embarrass me in front of everyone and she’s trying to turn my kids against me”. I told him that’s not what she was doing at all, and he was just like “ok so you don’t care how I feel is what I’m hearing”.

I talked to my sister about it and she just makes excuses for him like “oh he has anxiety and he had a very bad childhood...it’s easier for him to just react instead of think of how he feels”. I feel like he manipulated her into feeling that way.

When I’m driving through parks while at work I see this shit a lot and I just pull up and ask the chick if she’s ok and then park a bit away and wait.

I once saw some guy throw this teen chick out of his car and I came out and asked if she was ok.

He saw that and cane back and started yelling at her. Clearly an older guy preying on a kid. I managed to get his licence number and called cops about it but who knows what happened.

Aussie is scary with dv

The way you’re describing the situation is kinda dumb tho.

What other reaction is there to have besides ‘Wow, your dad is a dik U should def stand up to him’ because based off what you’re telling us, he is a dick - Nd yea u should.

So what input are u really after, if you’re describing the narrative in such a 2 dimensional way?

A different perspective. Or maybe a better way to approach the situation because everything I do doesn’t work and the pattern continues.

How does your mother react to this? How old are you and your sister? Him laughing about how much he upset you is concerning, he seems callous and selfish. It doesn’t matter how hard your childhood is you are still responsible for your actions.

In the moment when he’s abusing her she just says something in her defense (like “I closed the refrigerator door because it was letting too much cold air out”) and then walks away if she can or is just quiet if she can’t walk away. If I get involved she’s just like “*whorpio* I need you to stay out of this”. I had a one-on-one convo about it all with her too and she said she doesn’t feel like she’s being abused and she has a steady support system so she has people she can turn to if she felt that way.

Im 23, my sister is 25.

I understand that much. but the way you prefaced your question seemed a little redundant and if I didn’t know any better: manipulative .

I definitely think you should speak up tho. and enforce stronger and stronger boundaries with the help of your fam till he gets the message. Emotional abuse is the root cause of a shit ton of our problems, it’s gross.

I didn’t intend for it to be manipulative. I was just trying to differentiate if it’s ever appropriate to get involved since my parents insist I shouldn’t.

I don’t think I can get my family to support me since they always make excuses for him. I think I’ll just cut him out of my life and only invite my mom and sister to visit me without him. I still can’t decide if I should give him an ultimatum (like “treat mom better and I’ll let you back into my life”) or if I should let him figure it out for himself. And since I’m stuck on vacation with them for 4 more days I don’t know if I should start the freeze-out after I go home or before this trip ends.

I sense talking to your dad won't work tbh...

Maybe your sis and you could encourage mum to get help with her self esteem issues, either some therapy or join a group with other like minded people (personal development study changed my life for the better). She needs to break the cycle and start to find her strength. You could go with her for support?

This sounds like a good idea (encourage her to build self esteem). I think I’ll write her a letter (she responds better to things she has time to mull over) telling her how I see her as an angel and how special she is and how she’s inspired me to be like her and how she deserves better.

I can’t really go with her because I live 900 miles away, and my sister lives 400 miles away from her :-/ It makes me feel so powerless that I almost hope she gets stopped at the airport when vacation is over and sent back to her native country (she’s not a US citizen), just so my dad can’t unload his toxicity unto her anymore.

I might try talking to your dad about it at a time that isn’t exactly when it is happening, and privately just between you two, explaining how it makes you feel and focusing not on him and his whole character being shitty but on the arguing itself and your experience of it. I think it would be difficult for him to back down when he feels he’s being ganged up on, and in the heat of the moment...

Also I think I should share this. It will definitely help you... She is one of my idols I think she’s just amazing... Esther Perel is a psychotherapist who specialises in couples issues (she has an amazing podcast and books and talks to check out too)

But she has amazing insights on why we fight and how to understand and reduce the negative impact of it. Hope it helps!



I did try to confront him privately afterwards, but he just kept telling me it’s not my place to step in. Then my mom walked up to us and had a seat and he changed his tone and started telling me she was in the wrong, and that’s when he started telling her to tell me how she was the bad guy in the altercation earlier, and that’s when I started crying and he laughed, etc. I was hoping my dad has at least absorbed the main feelings/points from that conversation, but apparently not since the pattern is still continuing one week after that talk.

Ok I’ll share that woman’s stuff with them; they love podcasts. Thanks 🤗

I agree, work on your Mom's self-esteem because the abuse wears it down gradually until it's gone. Your dad most likely won't change his ways, but she can get change her reaction to him. Verbal abuse is so much worse than physical abuse, nobody outside the house sees it. Or is he physically abusive too? If so, I say report him to authorities.

It's worth a try love, all you can do is encourage and support, your mum has to do the rest

I hope she will be okay

I did that once. I saw a man hit his wife in a parking lot. I yanked him out of his truck and put a good whooping on him.

The woman who got hit started hitting me and defending that asshole.

I’ve learned to not intervene in others business

That's why cops say responding to DV calls are the worst, you never know what you're getting into. The woman is conditioned to accept it, and she knows she'll get her ass beat if she doesn't stick up for him. It's such a sad, addictive cycle...

I'd be way more likely to intervene if it was my own parents. Wouldn't even think twice. I tend to stick my nose in when I see someone being mistreated, no matter who they are, but when it comes to my family, I am much more fierce. I have actually intervened for my parents before and it worked out well. (it was my Mom being too hard on my Dad though)

The conditioning part I totally get.

However, her mans getting his ass beat and she should take that opportunity to run like hell and get out of danger. Why they don’t is beyond me.

Maybe I should test the Texas Judicial System and just put a bullet in the dude and save them the grief

Because of the fear when he finds her... And I agree, any man that thinks it's okay to beat on a woman or someone smaller than him deserves a bullet. In his package.

That's what usually happens more often than not. They'll use you as the scapegoat to reconcile until the cycle is perhaps broken in the future. You did the right thing even though you got no credit for it.

That's taking it too far unless you're preventing him hitting her further. Even police aren't allowed to just pull a person out of a car and start beating them (although, they do sometimes, but they're not supposed to.) You don't pile violence on top of violence to stop it.

That’s your opinion and I value it.

However, if a man is so deranged that he will be violent towards a woman I seriously doubt a little chit chat will fix the situation.

For every action there should be an equal but opposite reaction

Don't get me wrong. I think you were brave to intervene, and I'm glad you did. I'm just saying why she freaked. She cared for him, so when she saw him become "the victim" she flipped out on you. Battered women do weird shit.

For real, I probably would have tried to do the same thing you did, because my temper is crazy and doesn't take logic into account. And since I'm a woman, I probably would have gotten my own ass kicked.

Credit was the wrong word..I meant more in the way of 'absence of backlash' rather than credit. Women rarely physically fight but amongst guys, beating a woman in public is grounds for justifiably getting your ass kicked.

I don't like to see my family (or anyone) hurting, but especially the ones I love. I will do anything in my power to right a wrong whether it's my wrong or not. I love my parents and I just want them to be happy, sometimes even parents need a mediator from time to time after spending so many years together, haha. When it comes to family, I don't know many as fierce as myself and I don't give up.

I did that once. I saw a man hit his wife in a parking lot. I yanked him out of his truck and put a good whooping on him.

The woman who got hit started hitting me and defending that asshole.

I’ve learned to not intervene in others business

That's what usually happens more often than not. They'll use you as the scapegoat to reconcile until the cycle is perhaps broken in the future. You did the right thing even though you got no credit for it.

I don’t care about credit. However, there are already the haters pouring in with what I SHOULD have done.

I'm not a "hater" for disagreeing with you. Don't be a snowflake.

Why would you even comment on how a man dealt with another man?

You had a knee jerk reaction to a woman getting hurt....you acted from a place of kindness and whatever the result was, you wanted to help her. To my mind you were being a man....

If you saw a man verbally/emotionally abusing his wife, would you interfere?

What if this man was your own father, and the wife was your mother? Is it your business to tell him to cut it out?

I'd be way more likely to intervene if it was my own parents. Wouldn't even think twice. I tend to stick my nose in when I see someone being mistreated, no matter who they are, but when it comes to my family, I am much more fierce. I have actually intervened for my parents before and it worked out well. (it was my Mom being too hard on my Dad though)

I have them to thank for EVERYTHING! They mean the world to me, but you understand that one ❤️

Your post actually moved me to tears 😥. That fierce protective love is what is lacking at times today..

My father wrote a book and the copy he gave to me, he'd written on the inside cover

"To my daughter (name), may you always fight the good fight against injustice

All my love

Dad x"

Such a brave, strong man....such a great legacy of courage he left to me....❤️

Love him

That’s the one thing in life that I just can’t avoid. There’s no tolerance towards hitting women or children

I admire how afterwards he was mad he didn't get praised and said from now on he'll just let it happen. Impressive!

I admire how he jumped in to help the woman, as he would a child......i cannot really fault that, despite what happened afterwards...

I'm surprised you advocate violence. I have a violent streak, but I know it's wrong when I act on it.

I have never lifted a finger nor am an advocate of violence, but if someone was in danger of being hurt or killed, there may be a place for it, as in if i saw someone coming at my son and i had the chance to be "violent" to save him.....in a heartbeat i would

Now that is hardly an advocate of violence for violence sake

Okay. But there is a specific example we're talking about, and you praised it. He saw a man hit a woman (not try to kill her, not continue hitting her, just hit her) and so he went and dragged that man out of his vehicle and beat him up. For all he knows that man went home and took out his humiliation and rage on the woman and her kids and who knows who else.

That is just conjecture....i don't know what happened afterwards. I do hate violence and have no violent streak in me only i am brave to speak out (not fists or knives). If i did, i would seek therapy for it.....

So i think ssupes was coming from a good place and like i said it was a knee jerk reaction....he could have just driven by, turned the head away and pretended not to see *it's not my problem* kind of mentality. Where i live everyone helps each other but i think for reasons, life isn't geared up this way any longer...

I still think he was doing something out of care for the woman? I get his fire.....which i know, as you say can have repercussions, but i do understand it, whether right or wrong....
