Bullied by GF
A long time ago...

Wavy lines......

One of my first girlfriends was a bit...well, controlling.

When we used to go out, if I even so much as saw a (male of female) friend on a bus driving past me, then I would get a kicking - verbally AND physically.

This went on for years - I enjoyed the odd cigarette (this turned into a 20 a day habit, so maybe she was right - stopped AGAIN yesterday) - if she so much as smelled smoke on me, then yep, more mental abuse.

She put me in impossible situations where the only outcome could be a mental and/or pysical kicking no matter which path I chose.

One day, I had to pick her up from Uni. It's a long drive and on the way I saw a friend of mine walking along the path - I stopped and asked if he'd like to come along for the ride as it was a boring journey and it'd be good to have some company.

Well, the journey up there was fine. We drove up, picked her up, and drove back.

Only the drive back was in silence - with a scowling girl in the front seat making my friend very uncomfortable and me very scared.

Aparrently, picking up a friend for the journey was the wrong thing to do. I dropped my friend off at home.

The moment he was out of the car than she started on about "Why did you bring HIM with you" and "Don't EVER do that again" etc...

I jumped out of the car and slammed the door shut. We weren't that far away from my friends house and he heard me slam the door and had (wrongly) guessed that my head was between it and the body of the car and came rushing out.

We looked each other in the eye. He'd known this girl for as long as I had - and hated her. So did I. It was time to break up with her.

I ran round to her side of the car and opened up the door. I dragged her out by her hair and threw her on the ground. Rage had taken over me.

I kicked her in the throat and she let out a little gargled scream. By this time - and I admit to being in such a rage that I hadn't even notice him running towards me - my friend was on the other side of her, smashing his foot into the back of her knee in an attempt to break it...and break it he did.

In total I broke 3 of her ribs and 3 fingers on one hand, 1 on the other, severe bruising to the windpipe. He'd broken her knee and dislodged a vertibrae.

I'm not sure who the bullies were - her, or me and him.

Of course.
...none of the above is true (apart from the smoking bit), but I wanted to see people's reactions.

After all, it's only the reverse of this: www.b3ta.com/questions/bullies/post421249

...and that seems to be ok if it's a bloke that's getting the fecal matter beaten out of him.

Pssst
If you're fishing for outrage, it's best to wait for some actual outrage before smugly declaring 'I've just made this up'

I was coming here to say "her".
Domestic abuse (could you call it that?)/any sort of abuse like this is not on. She had that coming to her, the bullying little bitch, even if she was made up.

I've gone all angry now! I need a cup of tea to calm me down...

Well put!
Violence of any sort is abhorent. Just because a woman beats up a man doesn't make it acceptable or cool. Its just wrong. Thanks for putting this post up - click!

What a fascinating point you've made.
No really.

WHY CAN BLACK PEOPLE SAY 'NIGGER', YET I GET CALLED RACIST FOR IT?

( Amorous Badger NAKED BEA ARTHUR PHOTOS 4U, Wed 13 May 2009, 17:50, closed)

Because they are taught from a young age to use "racism" as the be all and end all way to be right or get what they want.

I get what you're saying.. I do, but...
... you can't deny that women are generally smaller than men. Very usually physically weaker, as well. So a guy beating up a gal is always going to seem like an unfair adavantage, but the reverse is always going to be considered "plucky" . Yeah, the double standard is horrible and hypocritical, but since women are at a biological disadvantage, doesn't it seem like they've got to play whatever cards they have?
