What you consider constitutes DV.

[azureline**]

Intimidation, physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual abuse, controlling behaviour, blackmail.

[bluecat*dancing]

Physical abuse

Psychological abuse

Emotional abuse

There is so much more but mostly I call it a living hell.

Behaviour that causes another person at home to feel unsafe.

That is a brilliant description.

Thanks for the answers.  I have a new friend who I think is living in a DV situation,  I am now trying to decide how to act towards him ( he also uses the bully boy tatics with other)

I feel that I should start calling him out when ever I hear him abusing anyone.

Run for your  life, unless you are a glutten for punishment and love to bang your head against the wall.

Why would you do that?  You get to go home without him but she is left to deal with the consequences of your actions.

If you have to talk to someone, talk to your new friend and encourage her.  Don't make it worse for her.
