It's kind of embarrassing to admit, but I had a girlfriend that was aggressive towards me. Because she was a pretty girl that weighed 100lbs, she always thought she could do whatever she wanted....so she did.
I never laid a hand on her even though I probably needed to in self defense, I always took a beating and just walked away.
It was so odd because she was constantly threatening me that I better not touch her, while she was swinging away at me or throwing stuff at me.
Most of these incidents I didn't even raise my voice.
The American legal system is so busted it is not even funny. I have always been afraid to defend myself, not just in domestic situations but in any other situation as well.
I have had a similar experiences.
I lived with a woman many years ago who was prone to physical violence and emotional abuse towards me.
(She even tried to kill her sister by strangulation, which I later verified later when talking to her.) I was too ignorant,
in lust and naive at the time to understand that is was not me, even though I was repeatedly told it was PMS and
that I was too sensitive, too this or too that, all relationships were like that, bla, bla, bla. We even sought counseling
very early on which should have been my first clue I had zero business being with her.
I remember one morning she got up to cook me breakfast before I went to work (she was an amazing cook, could
make chicken pie out of chicken shit) and when I was too full to clean my plate, she turned the table upside down,
just like in the movies. She was pissed off that I could eat anything, as much as I wanted and did not gain weight,
while she would gain weight just by looking at food. She would wail on me and I would just stand there with a
smile on my face and take it. And that would just piss her off more.
Another time we got into a verbal argument because I would not let her go to Greece and live with guy there for the
summer and that I should welcome her back into my loving arms. (She even went as far as having the guy from Greece
call me in an attempt to change my mind. Simply amazing.) When I left the house to cool off, she then took a hammer
and knife and destroyed some things I gave her. That is when I started sleeping with my clothes on; it was not a matter
of if the violence would come, but when.
I finally managed to get her out of the house (I was supporting her, she did not have to work). She got a great job
with a couple of scammers during the savings and loan crisis and I talked her into moving into her bosses house
as temporary housing until she got back on her feet, knowing full well that she would seduce her boss, which she did.
But at least it got her out of my hair and true to form, they became engaged until she flipped on him. He called some
time after and read me the riot act for hooking them up together. After I calmed him down (he was going to hunt
me down like a wild dog) we laughed about it all, having survived our experience with her.
At that time in my life I seemed to attract such women, I don’t know why. I had another girlfriend, six foot tall and
blond, with whom I lived and she would get insanely violent and extremely strong when mixed with alcohol. I have
seen her bust a bar stool over a man’s head and literally pick a full grown man up and toss him through a window.
She could fight better and dirtier and was stronger than most men I have seen but she was always very kind and
generous to me. She was a cancer and two time suicide survivor. Her “will” was such that she could literally stop her
heart, make it ship beats, which I verified with a stethoscope. Amazing.
Could go on and on with unbelievable stories about these and other women I have known but don’t want to bore everybody.
You know the old saying . . . Hell has no fury like a woman scorned.
Domestic violence, perpetuated by either party, is really nothing to laugh at and those involved should seek and get
professional help and guidance.
Good post PMCCHRIS.
