Exactly. The big thing driving (no pun intended) a lot of the comments here is the marital status and gender roles.
My uncle (who owns a used car dealership) gave me a car for my 18th birthday. Nothing grand. It was probably worth $9-10K and he probably wanted to get it off the lot. If my dad had been pissy and claimed that his brother was trying to step in and be a dad to me, I'd have told dad to get some fresh air. That's not what any of this is about.
Then why don't you say anything or do anything? You just said it wasn't your business so you're enabling and likely encouraging his behavior by simply watching giving the silent thumbs up. How can you watch someone get abused and be so callous towards them. Would you still defend your precious friend Mark by saying it's not your business if he were to beat and r*** her?
