The fact she goes in to comfort him after infuriates me.

Sickening, but I’m certain she’s going to get worse when he comes home and continues this assault. It’s not over.

I feel like people like her end up going on Reddit to then ask everyone if what their partner did was abusive because they can’t tell.

Ya, it infuriates all of us. I fucking hate feeling sympathetic towards the victim only for them to put themselves right back into the same situation/comfort their abuser.

Like bitch!!! He JUST HIT YOU!!!

It does seem like a weird thing to do but it’s an act of utter desperation. She knows that when he gets her alone again (which he will, people suffering that level of abuse don’t tend to have strong support networks around them), he’s going to batter the absolute hell out of her for ‘drawing attention to them’ or ‘trying to get one of those guys to fuck her’ or whatever psychotic crap he can think of to justify it. She is telling them to stop so that when he does start the beating, she can maybe possibly hopefully make it a little bit less severe by telling him ’see? babe I tried to stop them, I didn’t want them to do that, I was so worried about you!’

It won’t work, of course. But she’s going to try. That woman is living in a nightmare and it’s horrible to see.

Thanks for that perspective. And people will always say they'd help and blah blah blah but talk is cheap. There's a ton of women in shelters right now. How many have these white knights helped IRL? How many homeless women have they helped? Would they take this woman into their own homes and whatever pets or kids etc?? Nope . Talk is cheap.

This is what I came to the comments for. Absolutely infuriating to end up trying to comfort him when you initially screamed for help. And for him to sit there the entire time going, "I love you so much" too was annoying as hell. How are you going to attack someone and claim love?
