Has domestic violence become normalized?

Possible TW *domestic abuse*

I was listening to a podcast about domestic violence and the speaker made some pretty fair points.

We see domestic violence romanticized in tv shows, music videos, instagram. Basically everywhere.

I have even seen a few questionable responses on IG

“I’d kill her/him if they leave me”

“They blow up my phone whenever I’m out, they must love me”

“Jealousy is kinda cute” (I’m guilty of this one tbh)

“They only get mad because they care”

“I can’t go anywhere with out them”

I mean I’m sure the list goes on. But it’s honestly saddening. (Feel free to add a quote if I missed one)

Do you feel society has normalized domestic abuse?

Bonus:

Often domestic abuse is correlated to physical abuse. We see manipulation, mental and verbal abuse go unnoticed, or ignored until the situation becomes physical. To spread awareness, what’s a sign of domestic abuse you see go unnoticed?

For me, isolation and ignorance.

I’m a pretty private person in my day to day life. I generally just assume people don’t want to talk to me or hang out or are just too busy. So when I was being isolated in my previous relationship I didn’t realize that it was happening until it was “too late”. It took forever for me to realize what kind of tactics were being used on me as a form of control before the abuse became physical.

I was very ignorant to what domestic abuse actually is. I didn’t know the signs, I didn’t know the resources and most of all I didn’t have any confidence in myself to get out.

Bonus 2:

What do you think should be done to change how people romanticize domestic abuse?
