That kinda bugs me. When I had to take my wife to the hospital, they asked her if she felt safe at home, and if someone was abusing her, while I was in the room. I offered to leave the room for a few minutes so she could answer clearly and they were like “no, that isn’t necessary.”
It really should be standard procedure. I’ve never laid a hand on her, but it should be standard to protect the people whom have been abused by their partners.
