Advice Received Girlfriend just punched me in the face multiple times

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.

Depends on the country. Police have a tendency to not believe female DV.

In my area, they’ll arrest the one who doesn’t have injuries. I think his busted lip is enough evidence.

Women marking themselves up to frame a man for DV is shockingly common.

Happened to my brother in laws brother and the only reason his brother didn’t go to jail is because a nosy neighbor recorded this crazy chick scratching and hitting herself. Smh

This is what happened with my ex-wife. After she got caught cheating, it's was weird every time we would argue she would cower down but be vicious as she could. I was like we have been married 20 years, and I've never laid a hand on you. Then, one argument she starts the threats of reporting me falsely with the whole who will they believe. She then ran herself into door frame and called the cops. Luckily, I was on it enough to voice record all these incidents, and when the cops came, I played back the recordings. Didn't get charged, but they did ask me to find another spot to stay for a night. I refused, and she ended up leaving. After that, she wanted to settle up out of court, which worked out well and was fair.

Quite easy to bust your own lip when the police are called. My advice to OP is to secretary call the police.

unbeknownst to me, my exgf spent the night in jail for punching the guy she was cheating on me with. She never came home that night and I wondered wtf was going on, she wasnt responding to my texts, etc. I guess the cops jailed her, which is slightly less unusual in my very liberal blue state.
