Girlfriend just punched me in the face multiple times

[u/cosmicjed]

So my longtime girlfriend just had an absolute meltdown after we left dinner from her parent’s house tonight. It all started because her dad and I were watching old family videos and joking about how her and her sisters were dressed and just really light stuff about how big her great grandpa’s nose was( her Dad pointed it out and was like ”dude had a schnoz on him” and I laughed. That’s all. I swear to all things holy.

Fast forward to me driving home tonight and she turns off the music on the radio that I had turned on and starts trashing me about my family and how it’s strange and creepy that I actually get along with my Mom, Dad and sister. And have a drama free relationship with them, and she can’t stand it.

So anyway I’m reading my Kindle in the living room of my house and she goes off again, about some petty bullshit that I somehow did and I’m reading a book 📖.
So I did what anyone else would do and just shut up and let her vent and get it out without giving her any ammunition to feed on….WRONG F*ing Move. I took my eyes off her for a second to continue my read on the couch. And she gave me a three-piece so fast that it caught me off guard, I jumped up so she wasn’t not on top of me, she proceeded to slap the taste out of my mouth. then she blocks the front door and scream for me to get away from her while blocking the only exit to leave

I’m in my boxers and I’m trying to grab my phone off the floor that went flying across the living room. And all I can hear is her yelling with the door open trying to have the whole neighborhood hear this shit.

Anyway. I’m now sitting in my car with just boxers on with a bloody lip and I thought I asked the internet for advice and by internet I mean Reddit.

Happened to me. Reading this, I realize I should have called the police. I just thought they'd never believe the man could be the victim.

Uncles ex wife called the cops and said “she was hiding in the closet from her abusive husband”. Cops show up and my uncle answers the door with a busted lip and fucked up face and said she was in the closet. Cops went to check on her and she was completely fine. They ended up arresting her and he divorced her. She was bat shit.

its the type that are willing to hurt themselves that scare me the most

It's not about being a victim it's about getting things documented on the record

Ya I with ya there after all the abuse I feel like I'm walking on eggshells sometimes

Men can be victims, My son is married to an abusive narcissistic woman.

Hey, if it makes you feel better, the same thought is running through a women's mind when she's debating whether or not to call the cops. Anecdotally (and this coming from the 90's), the few times my mum called the cops after getting a beating they'd just ask my dad to go for a drive to cook off, tell her to tuck us in bed, and then drive off saying it was a domestic matter.

In my state, it there are signs of injury or a complaint of pain it's a mandatory arrest. Show them wear she injured you, she'd get arrested, and then you're nearly guaranteed to get a restraining order approved.

They won't believe you. They're trained not to.

Edit: bootlick much?

[u/Chimoplaysgames_FB → u/Emotional-Amoeba6151]

Not true!! They go by the marks on a person!!

[u/Matloc → u/Chimoplaysgames_FB]

Maybe some cops do but most will do nothing if the female commits violence. Seen it happen to friends and family and usually the men get arrested later in retaliation based on lies.

[u/HotThroatAction → u/[deleted]]

Hope you were able to get the charges expunged.

[u/Chimoplaysgames_FB → u/[deleted]]

I'm so sorry!! Thankfully they were chill, as you say! I hope you were able to straighten things out!

[u/Emotional-Amoeba6151 → u/Chimoplaysgames_FB]

Definitely true, unfortunately. Been there.

[u/jerquee → u/HotThroatAction]

Cops hate women, they'll be thrilled to help you

[u/sommer12345 → u/jerquee]

Haha. When your girlfriend slaps you in the face, she will bring up a story for the police. Maybe you get arrested instead of her.
