**didnt know where to put this?**

I have a girlfriend who has recently confided in me about her and her husbands relationship..

They have been together for a few years, and they've always been rough. always had problems.
She told me that many a times he has hurt her.. not just like hit her.. he has strangled her, held knives (and various objects) up to her throat.
She went into a bit of detail of the things that has happened between him and her.
They have a younge child together and she is so scared of the lifestyle this child is going tohave to grow up with,

i told her she shouldnt be putting up with him, i basically told her she should get out! Did i do the right thing?
