A lady shared a painful experience explaining why she avoids marital disputes after being brutally beaten by her sister’s husband while defending her sister. Despite the violence, her sister still went on to cook for the man that same night. The story highlighted the complexity of abuse, loyalty, and fear.
However, one response reduced the issue to a dismissive slogan: “Never advise a woman in love, you’ll learn the hard way!” This mindset is flawed. Offering advice or support is not wrong; it is often necessary, especially in abusive situations. While the person involved may choose whether to listen, silence only protects harm. Advising, educating, and speaking up can plant seeds of awareness and provide lifelines. The responsibility to help should never be abandoned under the excuse of emotional attachment.
