Piping hot take: Domestic violence is a YOU problem.
Most domestic violence cases are reciprocal.
If you don't leave the very 1st time you get hit, all beatings after are your problem.
It's not that hard to find a partner that won't hit you if you just pay attention.
@basedbagel - Yeah, this is very true. I've intervened in several cases, and the females are just as complicit. I wasn't white-knighting... These women were people I share DNA with.
With each new experience, I have found it more useful and expedient as a peacemaker/abuse-relationship-breaker, to simply impose your will upon both parties.
This means you have be strong, possess sound judgement, and be willing and able to inflict painful violence.
@basedbagel - Thankfully, it has never come to actual violence. But you have to be convincingly prepared.
I generally explain to the man, what the consequences will be if this continues, and that it's not worth it. And then I will often wish him well, and advise him to move on.
I would hold the females accountable for their end, but that's a pointless endeavor. Still, I'll explain what went wrong, what not to do in future, and apply social pressure to that end.

TRUE lol
>I generally explain to the man, what the consequences will be if this continues, and that it's not worth it
Well said but IMO not worth the risk as some people these days are too kray to handle.
> There were several prior boyfriends who treated them well, and would've made decent husbands.
You can't make an adequate determination of character if you have none.
