[Digimon,02] Davies puts himself in danger so Vemon has to Digivolve or he might die (he cuts a rope on a bridge well he’s on). This is a onetime thing for Davies, but what is a digimon supposed to do if they get saddled with an emotionally abusive partner who does this kind of thing regularly?

I think this is addressed in the first series with SkullGreymon. If the trainer starts doing stupid and reckless things to fake the necessary emotional response, the digimon will digivolve in extremely aberrant ways. This is a natural warning to the trainer, in case the digimon's protests weren't enough. There's a high chance each time it happens that the trainer will be severely injured or killed, either by the trainer doing something dangerous or the digimon going on a mindless rampage.
