I was out on a night out for a friend's birthday recently.
Load of friends went to the bar and I saw a guy who I used to know from a few years ago. He was on his own so I went over and said hello, we chatted for a bit about random stuff etc.
Few minutes later his gf and her friend, who I also knew, showed up and she gets really aggressive with me, pushing her face into mine, shouting at me and accusing me of sleeping with my sister's bf (not at all true) and so on.
I initially thought she might not remember me as it had been a while since I last saw her but she definately did know who I was and just carried on giving me abuse. I calmly told her it wasn't true and left.
Thinking about it afterwards I started to feel really bad for this guy. The last time I saw him, about 2 years ago, we were all out in a big group and he had to go to hospital because his gf was drunk and hit him in the eye with her stiletto because he dared to talk to another girl. She almost blinded him and it isn't the first time she has attacked him. The way she speaks to him is appalling too.
He looked distinctly uncomfortable during the conversation we had, thinking about it now I suspect because he knew she would be back any minute and he knew she would kick off. He didn't say a single word the whole time she was shouting at me just sat and stared at the table.
Aibu to feel really bad for him and hope that he eventually gets out of what is clearly an abusive relationship?
