    Another "Dear Diary" thread!

    I went to a house warming party with new friends from work last night, I was working at 7am so wasn't drinking (always fun at a party...). One of the couples are frigging nuts, the girl stormed off halfway through the night leaving us with her drunk abusive and violent boyfriend.

    I am too bloody nice to people, so concerned about others well being I convinced him to get in the car and I would drop him home.

    When we got to his place he started arcing up about me and his girlfriend (she is how I know them, she worked with me until she got fired/quit). Anyway he is the sort of guy who has issues with his self worth, the sort of guy that gives you a handshake and tries to win and stare you down and thinks he is a hard arse. He has it in his head I'm a threat or something and was calling me a pussy and then attempting to choke me and took my glasses off and threw them out the door (he was in the back seat, I knew something was up when he didn't sit in the front).

    Now I'm the sort of guy who these guys really underestimate. At school I was a geek and still am (never hang out with jocks), but I was also the first guy chosen in any sports team (you know when two kids get given captain status and choose teams). Last year I worked on a cattle station and was constantly having to deal with cranky bulls and mothers who where protecting their calf's, so I really learn't to deal with scary situations. Not gloating just giving you an idea of myself.

    So I took the kid gloves off, got out of the car and dragged him out of the backseat and onto his front lawn and told him that he is treating me with complete disrespect. He got up and seemed to settle but he threw a punch and caught my lip, no damage apart from his ring cutting my lip so I still kept my calm and didn't react in anger.

    I just left him and drove off. My main concern was simply getting him away from my car, punches and whatever I can deal with, kicked body panels would cause me to beat the hell out of him and possibly cause myself life changing worries that aren't worth it on a low life.

    Anyway, so I got a text from his girlfriend tonight. It was "Did you drive Ryan home last night? Is his jacket in your car?".



    I haven't replied.

    Shame that is wasn't, considering my glasses got chipped and I will have to get them replaced if I don't want to look even more geeky, a jacket could have squared the costs up.

    It's a no-brainer.

    Just got a message for his girlfriend

    "Ah please reply, we think his house keys were in the pocket of his jacket, we somehow got in the house but we can't find his jacket, so we are stranded at home as we can't lock the house haha"

    Still no apology or thankyou....

    --- Post Update ---

    Sent a message "his jacket isn't in my car" and she sent back "thanks" then another "what's up with you?" then another "thanks for driving him home btw".

    Haven't responded and won't for today. Who would tell her that her boyfriend owes me for the glasses and he also took a swing at me?

    Since he's working so hard on being an a'hole, and it's an ongoing situation, I certainly would let her know - but I'd do it in front of him as well. That way, when he takes another swing, you can let loose!

    I like that idea actually, will keep it in mind. Not real concerned about revenge though, so won't actively go looking for it.

    She texted me yet again asking "are you mad at me?". So yeah I guess the boyfriend might be right and I am a threat But I met a real nice girl at the party who is also really cute, so I'll see if that leads anywhere rather than step let myself get involved with a girl who's boyfriend is a nutter, way less complications.

    If someone takes a swing at you then you have to take a swing back, regardless of who would win. People will see you as someone they can take advantage of otherwise.

    Losing a fight always hurts less than running away from one.

    I don't consider it a fight. I don't have anything to prove, so what would have been the point? If I was actually worried he could hurt me I would have responded.

    The fact is he is probably shitting himself about whether I tell his girlfriend he took a swing at me after I was kind enough to give him a lift home.

    i didn't say you need to prove anything, but trust me he now sees you as a p***sy that he can push around in future. You're kidding yourself if you think he's scared of you telling his girlfriend.
