call the anti-violence project (AVP) hotline. it's 24/7, by the way. the only number i know of is a new york number, but they will have resources for AVP offices around the country and can give better advice on how to help your friend than any of us can on here. have your friend call this number, or you call it yourself if you don't think he will:

The AVP hotline: (212) 714-1141

and someone will help.

Normally good advice, but the police can't do much unless the person wants to press charges and shelters are difficult to find for men, sad but true. Anxy's # will steer you in the right direction!

I had the unfotunate experience of living across the hall from a couple where the one would beat the other senseless every so often and the shouting matches and verbal abuse were an almost daily occurence. It was awful. I called the police whenever I heard it get out of hand, as did my other neighbor on that end of the hall. It was sad, though, as the meanie would almost always leave before the police got there and the other just stuck up for him. It was a bad situation all around. I finally just moved.

unfortunately, i don't know that a women's shelter would have a lot to say to an male spouse who has been battered. they might at least have some other numbers to call or some resources for safe spaces the guy could go to. but a women's shelter wouldn't take in a male, regardless of his situation, for obvious reasons.

That sounds very similar to his particular situation. I dunno, maybe he likes to get yelled at and beat up.
