Possibly. Although being in an abusive relationship is a complicated thing.
If this is truly an abusive relationship and she's not just playing with the OP's head, then I agree with that. But at the end of the day, he's not a cop (AFAIK). So he'd best not try to play Mr. Tough Guy over somebody else's girl --> no win situation. And if her sad little life is
so complicated that she can't figure out how to call 911, and either get him out of her house or herself out of his house, then I wouldn't mess with her.
I went out with a hot as hell girl a few years ago - sexy as all get out! She went from being divorced to separated in the span of a couple of weeks - she couldn't always keep her lies staight. Turned out, she was neither. Her kid, who I couldn't figure out why he looked at me like he wanted me dead, fessed up. His dad, her husband, was in the military and was stationed overseas! Of course that kid hated me - who could blame him?! He was only about 11 or 12, but he saw me as the guy who was breaking up his family. Yeah, I heard all the bullshit stories about how she divorced him because he "abused" her, yadda, yadda. Playing on my sympathies: struggling single mom... couldn't I be a good guy and help her buy little Carlos a Playstation for Christmas, etc.? Her middle name should have been "I Need" or "Gimme". If little Carlos had stopped giving me the evil eye, and hadn't spilled the beans, I might have been the sucker and fallen for that complete line of bullshit.
And yeah, she was without a doubt on my Top 10 Pussy List - she's still there (total freak! :nanner
. But just because she could roll her hips like a wild thing and had the skills to be a porn star, I wasn't going to let myself get mixed up in her crazy, drama filled life. I ended up having to change my phone number because of that crazy thing - luckily she didn't know where I lived. Carlito dropped a dime on me to dear old dad when he got home on leave... and I had his silly ass calling me too - and I'd broken up with her months before! WTF?! I don't know if he ever beat her before, but he probably did after that. And ya know what? Not_My_Problem.
People like this are a friggin' nightmare! Don't get involved in their La Vida Loca, is my advice. I've yet to figure it out, but there can be 20 single girls and 1 (secretly) married girl in a room. And for whatever reason, it'll be the 1 married one that I'll end up with. I must put off some kind of weird energy or something.
