How would you like your husband/partner/boyfriend to act in this situation?

[dullestofall]

• Say you both are in a busy, crowded place walking towards somewhere and out of the blue there is an influx of people walking the opposite direction into you
• Then as you both negotiate your way round people, you both hear a woman behind you, maybe 2-3 meters away, shouting and spewing swear words
• Then a man who is with her starts doing the same - however you don’t know what it is all about / who it is aimed at - but it seems like your husband/partner/boyfriend is sure it is aimed at him

What do you think he should do?

I'd have probably told them to piss off and then regretted it!

I'm so confused by your post OP @dullestofall

Do you want to elaborate further so as not to drip feed? Why does your DP / DH think it was aimed at him? Did he know the people? Why do you want him to "do" anything? What has people walking towards you got to do with anything?

I would perform a complex Tai Chi move while screaming 'leave him, Derek, he ain't worth it!'

I didn’t like how he handled it but everyone can get triggered sometimes I guess.
Apparently was a failed attempt at pick pocketing. He responded back. Thankfully things didn’t escalate.
