Do not count on your friends or family to catch on to this stuff. In the case of many abusers, the folks who think they know him best think he's a great guy who wouldn't hurt a fly. They can be charming, but ultimately toxic in terms of being able to be in a relationship. Many are borderline or narcissistic personality disorder, so their affliction can be described as them being potential monsters without any ability whatsoever to admit they have a problem.
Maybe years of therapy could help them cope, but good luck getting them to therapy and good luck getting them to buy in. It's possible, I guess, but probably never worth it.
