OH tripped me up and laughed

[SaltedCaramelLife]

Would like some perspective.

My OH was walking behind me, intentionally tripped me over and laughed. I moved away, to walk across and some distance from him. He continued laughing and asked what was the matter with me. I said I was walking away so I didn’t make a fool of myself.
We were in a public place and he tripped me around the side of a building where no one else happened to be walking.

There’s obviously a backstory and I won’t drip feed, but I would appreciate your thoughts. Is this what your partners are doing for a laugh? Is this how adults are behaving now? Until today, I’d have been fairly confident he wouldn’t reply “I thought you’d find it funny” if I asked why he did that.

Do it back to him see how he likes it.

Just end it for good this time around. He is a twat.

My exopath use to do things like this, walk behind me going upstairs and try to pull my feet from beneath me, as someone said he doesn't like you, I pretty sure my ex hated me.

A few years ago I tripped (uneven pavement), I smashed into a steel safety fence/rail at a pedestrian crossing. I broke two ribs, cut above my eye, two black eyes, extensive bruising to my abdomen, arms etc. I had a month off from work. All from a clumsy trip. So no I wouldn’t find it funny at all if someone did that to me. Doesn’t show much care for you.

No, it's not normal.

I've dated someone in the past who would bump me into a bush, but that was genuinely in jest. He once picked me up and threw me into a very large soft bush. We were both really drunk. I found it hilarious. He specifically knew I found it funny and that he wasn't hurting me. If I'd ever given any indication that it wasn't funny or I didn't appreciate those kinds of jokes, and if I hadn't been a rambunctious, sprightly, gymnastic woman in my early twenties, he wouldn't have done it. And no way would he have just straight up tried to trip me up on the pavement. That would have been cruel.

Sounds like something my exH would have done and one of the reasons I divorced him.

New DH would never do anything like this because he's not an abusive bully.

Enjoy the peace when you kick him out OP.

Me and my dh do silly things like this to each other also shoulder knock each other into an object that we are walking up to lamp post, bush or whatever but obviously we wouldn’t do it if we knew the other one wasn’t in a playful mood

I'd have kicked him in the nuts with my hind leg.
