I (24f) have known "June" (24f) for about 10 years. We grew up together and were semi close friends but I am not one that has talk everyday all day with friends. To preface she has always been kinda manipulative, fake, and plays the victim card. During college June got married to "Nick" (24m) who was from the midwest and was in the army. He was a very sweet guy who loved her deeply. They moved out of our home state not too long after getting married.
A year or so goes by and she calls me up one day and says I need to tell you something. She goes on and says "I've been thinking for a week and took a test, I'm being emotionally abused and hes controlling" So I obviously ask the questions you ask. She never gave any example of actual abuse all she said was "he told me i couldnt go to an ivy league school for law school". (For ref she cant keep a job and he has only been in the military 3 years) I used to police and have dealt with plenty of situations first hand as well as my best/mutal friend "May". She kept going back and forth from "I want to get a divorce" to "I want to work it out" depending on who she talked to. So obviously things seemed a little off and everyone agreed. She never said anything about it being physical or anything that actually happened. She also kept saying "I need a biblical reason for divorce".
The next day i get a text saying she left in the middle of the night while he was at work and shes at the airport going home, she talked to beach boy told him Nick hit her twice and he said to leave. Shit hits the fan she left her phone in the uber gets detained at the airport for pub intox only letting some random guy she met on a beach know whats going on by texting him from her computer. I later find out that Nick arrives home there is beer cans all across the house and has no idea whats going on so he looks everywhere for her. All Junes mom tells him is shes fine. So I text him and let him know i talked to her pretty much all day the day before and tell him what she was talking about and that May and I recommended that she go home to just create some space and breath. Nick knew she had been having some mental health issues and was going to suggest she go home anyway but when i mentioned she brought up divorce and abuse he was very confused in a way that indicated he had no idea. Not in a way someone guilty of abuse would be. He thanks me for being honest with him when no one else would.
Couple days later i get a text from her mom telling me im a shitty friend for saying anything to a potential abuser and its a good thing im not a cop anymore...
AITA for letting her husband know of the things she said?
Please wait...
