not mine, thankfully
i met this particular little turd when my mate started going out with him. the fact that he deliberately picked his nose before attempting to shake my hand(his idea of high humour)didn't exactly endear him to me. he was an arrogant and aggressive prick, so i kept my distance from him.
a few months later, i ran into my friend at the shop. i invited her to come to my house for a cuppa, but she told me she only had 5 minutes to get home or there'd be "trouble". i didn't like the sound of that.
after that, i tried to meet up with my friend at least a couple of times a week, just to check up on her. it wasn't long before his twattish behaviour was revealed to me.
he would:
make my friend light his cigarettes, then burn her with them if she hadn't been fast enough
spend all of his money on booze, fags and gambling, forcing her to pay all household expenses out of her money*
allow her one hour to do the shopping, reporting her to the police as a "vulnerable" missing person** if she took any longer
tell her his doctor had forbidden him from walking(a total lie), which meant she had to do all the household chores
spit in her face if she answered him back.
there's a lot more, but i'm getting wound up just typing this.
i didn't try to intervene, because i knew her well enough by this point to know that, no matter what i said, she'd stand by him. she did, too. you just can't help some people :(

*the money had been bequeathed to her by her late father. the twat boyfriend worked his way through £17k of it in one year.
**she had learning difficulties and had had a social worker as a child. apparently, this made her vulnerable.

Twats.
Whilst I appreciate the fact that he's a twat and in no way condone his or aimilar actions, I cannot help thinking that her own actions are a bit twattish in letting him treat her that way and, as you say, by refusing any offers of assistance...

yeah, i just don't understand it
but i know to keep out of these situations, as it only causes trouble for the person trying to help.

What an utter turd
How did it end, or is it still ongoing?

she finally left him
when he tried to kill her with an iron. wouldn't press charges, though.

Head first
down an abandoned well would be the kindest solution all round.
