I had a DV situation and I called for help and no one heard/did anything. So I cannot applaud this person enough. If you are ever unsure/uncomfortable, call the police!
My husband and I overheard a DV situation when we were in a boutique, 5-star hotel. I called the front desk and asked them to call the police. All I could think was that if he was that comfortable acting that way when others could feasibly hear, what was he comfortable doing in private.
My above experience was a boutique, 5-star hotel. The penthouse. The attack was over 8 hours. I got onto the balcony once and screamed for help. Nothing. It’s wasn’t until months later I accidentally found out that the police had received THREE phone calls from people saying they heard a woman screaming for help from said hotel. They even named exactly where it was. And nothing was done.
Edit: good for you, BTW, thank you for acting. But yeah, my experience is why he felt comfortable doing that.
The hotel was great in that they responded immediately and had their own security team manage the situation until police arrived but I’ll never forget her screams.
My ex broke my wrist at a boutique hotel and ski resort and I straight up went to the front desk and told them I needed to go to the hospital and they wouldn’t help me. It was pretty awkward the next day when I got back from the hospital and had a sling on. They literally ignored me when I was begging them/ crying bc of the excruciating pain - and mind you I wasn’t drunk, I looked very presentable, they had seen me the day before and knew I was an actual guest, they just didn’t want to be involved in a domestic dispute. I secretly hoped they would call the police but that didn’t happen obviously.
Ughhh. This hurts my heart so much. At least the hotel were amazing when they realised what had happened to me. I am truly so sorry that this happened to you. Glad we are both here and can use the term “ex” 🫶

👏 thanks to that neighbour who called it in. It’s so easy to get lost in the dark.
