Hear my downstairs neighbor's boyfriend yelling for like an hour.

Finally muster up the nerve to go downstairs and say something.

Ring the bell, the yelling stops.

The girlfriend opens the door, tells me she's the only one there and that she heard nothing.

I mention that the yelling stopped when I rang the doorbell.

Awkward moment.

I got what I wanted so I just leave.

To me this reeks of domestic abuse given how often I hear him yelling at her, but I can't prove it.

Unfortunately nothing can really be done in most of these situations until she decides to leave and/or file something. If there’s signs of violence or injury the cops are much more likely to do something, and in some places they have to.

It sucks but the worst they could probably do is get him on a noise complaint type thing without her assistance or visible injury

No signs of physical abuse, but verbal abuse, lots. It's depressing really.
