We tend to here that a lot.."I need to talk with you..." take a moment to lend an ear and offer understanding advise.

Ladies...we enjoy talking about mostly everything that's going on in our lives and our girlfriends/guy-friends tend to be the listening ear so offer that back. She/he may be crying out IF we listen we will hear it. The body language; the lack of eye contact; the way they jump over topics or just will not give an answer...hmmmmm. Listening is key for hearing the signs/issues of domestic violence. Need to talk....I'll listen....let's start talking.
