I intervened in one of these in my youth, husband was beating the wife, I stepped in and started to beat the husband and then the wife jumped on me and started attacking me to protect her husband....
Crazy people in this world.
Indeed.
This happens to cops frequently, where they respond to a domestic violence call.
The unpalatable, politically-incorrect aspect of chronic domestic violence is that often BOTH parties are crazy and violent. A sane woman would have left at the beginning.
My grandfather once did the same, with exactly the same results. Its hardly ever worth bothering to intervene in a domestic violence situation. Women who tolerate being beaten by their husbands are usually lost souls who cannot be saved from their own folly and psychological dependence on the thugs they are stuck to. If they aren’t willing to save themselves, why should others bother?
