* Seeing images of a happy couple can make it difficult for victims of domestic abuse to believe that their experiences are real and valid. This can lead to feelings of self-doubt, isolation, and shame.

2. Minimizes the seriousness of domestic abuse.

* Images of a happy couple can create the impression that domestic abuse is not a serious problem, or that it is something that can be easily overcome. This can make it difficult for victims to seek help and can discourage others from taking reports of domestic abuse seriously.

3. Perpetuates the cycle of abuse.

* Seeing images of a happy couple can make victims of domestic abuse believe that they are responsible for the abuse or that they deserve to be abused. This can make it more difficult for victims to leave abusive relationships.

4. Triggers memories of abuse for survivors.

* Seeing images of a happy couple can be triggering for survivors of domestic abuse, causing them to experience flashbacks or other emotional or physical reactions. This can make it difficult for survivors to move on with their lives and heal from the trauma they have experienced.

5. It can give family and friends an inaccurate picture of what the relationship is like, leaving them less likely to recognise, or seek help for the victim involved.
