Follow your own advice. Sometimes people need help and IF this is happening the wife needs to know she's not alone.

Ok, but her husband's employer? Talk about six degrees of separation.


That's odd that her husband's employer should get involved.


I wonder if there are any legal risks.

what kind of business goes to a guy's employer about this? why didn't they try to help the woman?

If you want to do something, research local groups that help women in abusive relationships, and get the info to her privately. If she'd been in this kind of relationship before, she probably feels like there are no other options, and desperately needs help to get out.

This is an open forum and every person can have an opinion.
I don't see any benefits to her if she will start putting her nose in to this family. Wife is not from the jungles and she can go to the police without op's help. A person I know also intervened and after a week found her dog hanged on a tree. Do you really want it to happen to the OP?

Lots of abused women can’t go for help. Leaving an abusive relationship is the most dangerous time. Ignoring it is wrong. If he works for the op I would have a word with the employee. It’s already an open secret, I would tell the man what the rumors are. Remind him it’s illegal and if true could cost him his job.

Why don't you approach her or ask another female to approach her to find out the truth.Get it from the source and not based on what people think is going on..even if it's true.Get it from the source and if she says it's true..then there are ph# that she can call to help her..if she wants it.

I don't know how to approach him or ease into a subject like that.

I do have a friend who is a counselor that I can call, but she is out till next week.
Why would you want to approach the person who is being accused of abusing his wife???Of course he would say no.Talk to the person who looks like they're getting abused.Find out the truth before going any further.

Lots of abused women will not admit to being abused even when asked.

It sounds like a small community where someone in the community knows the wife is in an abusive relationship with the OP's employee. Someone said to the OP, "Did you know that Joe, your employee, beats on his wife?" And now the OP wants to help the wife.

OP, you could contact the person who told you and who knows the wife and suggest that s/he help the wife learn about community resources for abused women. Beyond that, I'm not sure what you could do without putting the wife in more danger. If you had concrete evidence of an assault you could go to the police but it doesn't sound like you have that.
