absinthe makes the heart grow fonder: For those who have watched Season 3 of Bridgerton - was this the first time they hinted at spousal physical abuse?

For those who have watched Season 3 of Bridgerton - was this the first time they hinted at spousal physical abuse?

Spousal physical abuse was hinted at in season one flashbacks, and was part of one of the subplots in Queen Charlotte.

They showed a bruise this time - that’s what caught my eye

Thank you for reminding me about the earlier instances - I had forgotten about those

Yeah. I don't think it's a huge theme, because this is supposed to be a pretty fluffy show, but it isn't completely ignored, either. And I think it might be explored a bit more in future seasons?
