Clares law

[unluckyineverything]

Last night I decided to fill in an online application on new bf, submitted message said it will be looked into within 10 days, I have just received a call from the police and they want to see me tomorrow, does this mean he has a horrendous past. Or is it routine to find out more information, I will be seeing him later an not sure how to act around him.
For background info he hasn't ever been abusive, I did this because we was watching a film and a woman got punched, he seemed quite excited over it, I immediately asked him to leave which he did, but doesn't get why that made me uncomfortable. I know clares law could be seen as an over reaction but it has left me feeling uneasy.

If you cant act normal then don't meet him.

No idea but in the meantime trust your gut. It's a really good idea to check if you're not sure

So a man gets excited seeing a woman being hurt? Run don't walk

You say he hasn't ever been abusive - but he's a new bf? So you don't really know him?
In your shoes I'd feign illness today rather than see him.
Good on you for being proactive and doing some digging.

To be honest, whatever the police say, not sure I'd want to be with someone who found violence against women exciting.

He got excited by seeing a woman being punched? Shit, that would be game over for me never mind Clare's Law.

I’d be leaving because of his reaction to a women being abused. I wouldn’t need further evidence from the police

I have known him for 10 years, we have mutual friends so over the years we have seen each other at weddings bdays etc
I know in my head I should just walk regardless of what police say, but in my heart I just can't think of something he has said or done previously over the years, only thing I thought was strange is he never brought previous partners to any events, He always made excuses
Unfortunately it's my friends 40th today so I have to attend, I can't think of an excuse for him to not come, I will pretend I'm not feeling well and leave early, hopefully he will stay out if I insist I just need to sleep.

It's not normal for a man to get excited watching a woman get punched. That's not in the character of any man who likes women, it's a reaction you'd expect from someone who at the very least fantasises about it. I wouldn't stick around to find out.

That you've known him ten years and never met his previous partners would make me very wary.

It's routine to gather more information and to see your ID.

Any update op?
