Sorry bro, I dont really see how you can justify your reaction. My wife has physically made me bleed before, uppercutted me showing me some kind of karate move, and jabbed her finger into my eyeball, blinding me for a good 5 minutes. All I said was "ow, what the hell did you do that for", followed by her apologizing, and me saying "can you be more careful next time".Heylel Teomim said:We talked, and by her description I"m some kind of raving madman and she doesn"t know if I"ll hurt her or not. It"s absolutely ridiculous. I"m the one with marks on me, and somehow she"s got it in her head that I"m violent. No one else at the table even saw an altercation happen (because there basically wasn"t one). The only person who even saw us speak was right across from us and didn"t know why she was upset.
I apologized, acknowledged that getting angry was an overreaction, but she absolutely will not come to terms with the fact that in order to have anoverreaction, you have to be reactingtosomething. She just got even angrier when I tried to point out I was reacting to pain.
Meh. I"m crazy about this girl, but I"m starting to think the emphasis is on the crazy.

That usually does the trick...
yeah i"m with you on this, i think the dude is probably a straight up nut job, and a pussy to boot. not a very good combination.Dis said:Sorry bro, I dont really see how you can justify your reaction.

The response of "ow what the hell did you do that for" is universal in terms of intentional vs. unintentional.projectoffset said:Intentional vs unintentional?
This is a problem with or without his response, whatever it may be. If she does shit like this intentionally then she"s got issues.Dis said:The response of "ow what the hell did you do that for" is universal in terms of intentional vs. unintentional.
I dont know how many women you have been with, but a girl who pinches is perfectly normal in my experience. This includes my wife of 8 years.projectoffset said:This is a problem with or without his response, whatever it may be. If she does shit like this intentionally then she"s got issues.
pics of you clothed and wetRavvenn said:My guess is she was being a bit immature and trying to get his attention. His reaction probably embarased her and scared her a bit. I personally don"t enjoy being scolded and cursed at, especially when a tone and phrase like he described is involved. That is scary, even coming from someone who is not violent. I"ve been scared like that, too, it really isn"t out of the norm.
It kind of reminds me of being in my younger years where I"d enjoy random tackles. Well, my ex totally took it like his bro was wrestling with him and punched me in my stomach. Then he looked baffled when I started crying (btw, if you haven"t been hit there before, it hurts and knocks the breath out of you). Needless to say, I was pretty upset and then he yelled at me because I started it.
Mind you, I"m 5"2 and about 105lbs clothed and wet. If I yell ROAR and tackle you, it"s not much different than the wind blowing.
Anyway, I have since then never initiated a playful wrestling match.
Men have forgotten the art of the judiciously applied back hand.Zehn - Vhex said:I"m just trying to get this straight. He goes out with a girl he"s known for a few months. She"s relatively young still so she likes to play around, do things to get his attention, typical girl bullshit. She pinches him, he goes psycho mode grabbing her shoulder forcefully and reprimanding her like she"s a 5 year old that"s into sadism.
He later apologies with "I"m sorry baby I didn"t mean to hurt you just sometimes you make me so mad."
Yeah, not exactly sympathizing with him here. If it were the girl posting here about some dude that assaulted her after she got too playful while out in public we"d be warning her to get the fuck away.
I bet there was ticking involved though. Tickling requires a swift counter-offensive.Ravvenn said:My guess is she was being a bit immature and trying to get his attention.

You know, if I hadn"t read what he wrote and simply read people"s reactions, I"d be thinking that his GF kept tripping and falling on doorknobs or something. Even with having read what he wrote prior, there seemed to be a big enough disconnect between what he said he did and people"s reactions that I felt compelled to go back and read it again.Zehn - Vhex said:If it were the girl posting here about some dude that assaulted her after she got too playful while out in public we"d be warning her to get the fuck away.

It doesn"t matter. You touched her, you used force, the ball is in her court. It doesn"t matter one iota if she pinched you hard enough to draw blood or stabbed you with a fork, short of her stabbing you in the aorta with an icepick or going after you with a crowbar like you were a headcrab, any time you lose your cool with a woman and touch her (even if you grab her wrists in self defense as she"s trying to punch you in the eye) you are automatically wrong. And while I"m sure fear might play a part (often it does, and men don"t always realize how they look or sound), her refusing to listen to any reason and holding this over you sounds more like she had her feelings hurt and is now going to rake you over the coals.Heylel Teomim said:She just got even angrier when I tried to point out I was reacting to pain.
Welp, there is your problem, you came right out and said it. She pushes your buttons and you finally lost your cool. You"re a fool if she has a pattern of aggravating you and you stay with it without either trying to get her to change, or leaving the relationship completely. You could have the patience of a saint and if your GF constantly pushes your buttons, eventually it"s likely you"ll lose your temper, and by then everyone loses. Get her to change her behavior, or GTFO. /shrugHeylel Teomim said:I"m pretty sure half the problem is that Idon"tever get mad.She pushes buttons and I just deal with it.I finally just sorta hit my limit.
That just sounds wierd. I would have expected him throwing you over his shoulder and spinning in place until you begged him to stop for fear of puking, lol, or something similar.

If he"s later apologizing for over-reacting I"m willing to bet he did more then just lean into her tenderly and whispered to her gently that what she did really hurt and that he"d like her to not do that again....I got mad enough to lose my temper. I reached around to her shoulder and pulled her to me so I could keep my voice low and avoid a scene while I told her to knock it the fuck off...
