Me (AuDHD) and my friend (autistic) noticed some blatant toxicity and control from our other (autistic) friend’s husband, and are trying to plan out how to talk to her about it… our plan is SO detailed so we tread lightly but also get through to her. HELP

I would definitely start the conversation with saying that you love and care about her and are concerned about her. Then go into why you are concerned about her. And give her options on how you could help her. Like giving her a place to stay, or suggesting couples therapy, or other options you can think of

We’re scared she’ll think we’re ganging up on her, get offended, think we’re overstepping, or get defensive. Plus we need to make sure the husband is not around when we talk to her (it has to bc otp bc we’re all LD friends). We legit have a script for this…

He was driving like a maniac and she’d tell him to slow down and he’d yell at her to relax. He fell asleep on the couch and she asked if he wanted to go to bed, and he yelled at her “omg can’t you just get the f*** off my back???” only for him to stand up 2 min later and go to bed… literally wtf?
