Supporting a friend in an abusive relationship

I've noticed my friend's boyfriend seems overly attentive and dominating in our conversations, making me uncomfortable. I'm worried about my friend's well-being but unsure how to navigate this situation without being intrusive.

What I wish I knew
"How to effectively support my friend without putting myself in harm's way or making the situation worse."
If I could tell you one thing
"Be cautious and aware of your surroundings when interacting with your friend's partner, and prioritize your friend's safety and well-being."
