Re: TW domestice abuse: Female on male domestic abuse, a friend's questions

[intrigueing]

I would approach it from another angle. He probably feels embarrassed about being hurt by a girl because that shit about how men aren't victims and blah blah blah has probably been pounded into his head all his life and it'll be difficult for him to get over that.

What will be probably much easier for him to understand is pointing out what his girlfriend is doing, instead of what's being done to him. Ask him what kind of a woman would hit someone she claims to love, what that kind of behavior says about her personality and her respect for him. Also, point out how that that of behavior can escalate into something even more serious and dangerous.

Him getting hurt is important too, but harping on that aspect of the abuse might just shame him more and be counterproductive. He might not be very open to "my girlfriend is hurting me," but he might be a lot more open to "my girlfriend is acting like a nasty violent douchebag."

After that, he might be less ashamed and more willing to accept help (the anons above me have some good suggestions). Just stick by him and act the same, to be a reminder that it's not "weird" to be abused and that you're not judging him.
