My friends and family should have recognized that as a red flag.
Just be the kind of friend that is open to hearing things without criticism. If your froend is signalling that her partner is not available, follow her lead or she might distance herself further from you. Victims of abuse generally know what is safe and unsafe for them.
If you continue to visit and share about your life and ask generally about hers, more will come out.
This was my first thought.
