What would you do if your boyfriend or girlfriend got hit on by someone right in front you?

Question

Would you step in or let them handle it? Is there a appropriate time to intervene?

SirRexington · Accepted Answer

I'd probably tap their shoulder and gesture to my pocket, and the knife that's in it.  Or I'd pull my hand out of my pocket to reveal my brass (technically it's stainless steel) knuckles.

Yes, so I punched this guy as hard as I could right in his cock. He vomited. Fucking bitch

ChronicThinker · Accepted Answer

He would get possessive, I would laugh... unless she tried a little too hard. Then, I'm groping him right in front of her.

Ankitasingh466 · Accepted Answer

I will hit that person back if anyone hits my boyfriend.

Logorithim · Answer

She should handle it, unless I think or it's clear she can't (particularly crude advances, for example).

StingRayxoxo · Answer

He should handle it right there. And then a sweet kiss on my cheek or a playful pat on the my bum to show others that he is with me. ☺️ I would probably intervene if a woman put her hands on him.

shake77 · Answer

I would intervene immediately. It's not only disrespectful to you, but disrespectful to your significant other. I don't mean to say that I would punch the guy right in the face. But I would definitely call him on his BS, and cut him down with my wit. I would make him look like the fool that he is. This is one thing that truly irks me about people. The audacity and disrespectful nature of some. Such a detestable and despicable human being deserves no kindness. they need to be publicly humiliated. How else are they going to learn to behave in a proper Society.

DJB72 · Answer

I trust my wife 100%, but if a guy hit on her right in front of me I'd say something.

If a guy hits on a girl in front of her partner he's probably trying to assert dominance as the "alpha male". I find it hard to believe that the guts saying they'd do nothing would actually do nothing. I prefer to be more "submissive" in the bedroom (for want of a better term) because I'm a big guy and I'm very aware of my strength and my temper and I'm not prepared to be in a situation where I could be seen as "forcing" myself on her - even after 16 years together.

But outside in the world I'm still a caveman. Try to hit on my girl without knowing she's taken and I'll reasonably quietly let you know. Try and steal my girl knowing a) she's taken and b) I'm right there and you'll regret it.

Any guy who says otherwise is either kidding himself, lying or such a beta-male that he's already cuckolded and knows it.

MrOracle · Answer

Normally, I'd smile and let her handle it, unless the guy was belligerent or trying to touch her or whatever. The reason being that I don't want to undermine her power and authority over her own being - she's perfectly capable of saying, "thank you, but, no, I'm with my boyfriend."

Now, of course, if I perceived that she felt threatened in any way, or she was looking to me for help, then of course i'm going to step in at that point, but that is rarely necessary, especially because I tend not to date party girls who go out and get drunk every weekend, which means you go to places where guys are drunk too. Sober guys are rarely a problem - it's usually the drunk guys who can't take "no" for an answer.

GuyAtEdge · Answer

Reaction would be instantaneous, and intensity would be proportional to the guy's behavior and his willingness to apologize... could range from "she's with me, can't you see?" to possibly a straight right cut to his jaw if that's the language he would understand quicker.. my girlfriend trusts me, and I won't let her down.

BeMuse · Answer

Wait to see how she handled it... I shouldn't have to do shit. Why you've been watching MMA street fights or somethings?

smg99 · Answer

Grin smile and tease him but wait patiently to rub it back when the time is right. That is if he boasts and enjoys it. Different story if he is not happy then, I’ll make sure to ask some curly questions to the girl and let her know her worth in public , in a under the belt way definitely. If she leaves humiliated great or crying far better.

DarganKorodanya · Answer

I have a lack of emotions. I only carry happiness, interest, enthusiasm, love, etc. I lack anger, sadness, and a few others. I am classified as a sociopath. I have little care for those who aren't related, or very close to me. If someone hits one of my friends I see that as a threat, so I try to stop them. If they hit me or my friend again, I will fight them until they cry in pain, ask to stop, pass out, or even die. Luckily I haven't ran into this kind of Event in years. I can't feel much pain either, I fell out of a tree and landed on my back when I was 7. It ruined my nerves, so if they hit me I brush it off. But they hit me again, I act in self defense as would anyone else.

tony_baloney · Answer

I think the sexyest way a woman I'm dating can handle that is to just kinda laugh to herself and let me handle it. Lmao, knowing all my love is devoted wholly to her and she can trust me. If you don't have trust, why be with that person to begin with? Plus I can't fucking stand drama & possessiveness. "You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free"

RhythmAndHues · Answer

Sit back and watch how she moves. If she move like she's reciprocating that shit I'm gone. But if he or she is actually loyal, their job would be to dismiss any advances. I shouldn't even have to worry enough to watch you do it.. we should just be at that level where I know nobody gonna take my place because my partner is a Jezebel lol

genericname85 · Answer

i'd actually talk about that to her. usually i'm fine with it happening, cause
1: it shows that she's attractive which is both good for her feeling of self worth and my confidence in having the right partner
2: i usually let her handle it, unless she specifically wants me to be a little possessive and jealous and try to get rid of them.

Anonymous · Answer

Honestly my natural instinct when someone deliberately physically hurt someone I care for, is to go mental and kick ten bells of shit out of them.

I know it's bad but seriously if someone wants to piss me off and have a physical fight with me it's probably going to come from them hurting a loved one. I'm extremely proactive and will try to defend them till the end.

AcidT0y · Answer

It's happened a few times at bars and normally I walk by and give her a tap on the arm so she know I'm nearby if she needs me.
She's usually fine sorting it on her own.

There was one guy who just wouldn't take a hint. He tried to grab her arm and I he was on the floor before he even knew I was there xD

MLGbreezy · Answer

id trust my partner so i think she would most likely be able to handle it herself but if the guy just doesn't wanna take a hint then ill intervene but ill try not to take things over the top unless the situation calls for it

pitzi · Answer

I'd hope he mentions me when he realizes she's hitting on him. If not, I'd make it clear he's my man. I'll hold his hand or lean my head on him while she's talking.

If he flirts back or something though, that'll be a big problem and I'll walk away.

valualty · Answer

Depends on the circumstances. If there are CCTVs and witnesses i'd let her call thr police while i restrain the guy. But lets face it nobody just hits a women for no reason. Hardly, so when it happens, usually the assult is initiated by the woman... the empty headed irrational men would try and act heroic but the rational minority of men would know where to stand and wouldn't be with women who gets involved and causes trouble.

Engageme · Answer

It depends. I've had this happen twice but the girls were drunk so I just thought it was funny. If they weren't, we'd have ourselves a confrontation because it's disrespectful to me and I wouldn't just take that laying down.

Aenetoo · Answer

Nothing. I'd be flattered. I got this girl and you don't. The only appropriate time is when she complains. Then I'd tell him to knock it off or wind up with a mouth full of bloody chickelts. Nobody messes with my girl.

happyhippo · Answer

I'd wait it out, until I decide it's the right moment to intervene.

michymouse · Answer

Ooh I’d kiss that mf as hard as I could and get tongue all up in there My cousin; the bitch was giving him shy glances one time! He gave her death glares lmao!!

DublinRollerGirl · Answer

I would say do what you want to. If he hesitated about what he would do he already made his decision. He would be toast.

-sunflowersss- · Answer

This.

blacknwhite2 · Answer

I'd observe how he handles it. If he shuts her down, I won't say anything but he flirts right back then we will have a problem.

ATuairiscean · Answer

If it was girl on girl, break it up - Boy on girl, intervene on her behalf, if he was aggressor, hit him, if she caused it give him the eye to stay back and settle her down, sort it out

clampfan101 · Answer

Maybe give her a moment before jumping in. Perhaps she had a better plan in mind than me trying to scare him off, or planned on doing the scaring herself.
I guess it depends on how much I know about her regarding that type of possible situation.

bear87 · Answer

In my experience I’ve found walking up them introduce yourself and shake there hand confident smile. Talk to that guy and make him feel uncomfortable. But you don’t want to seem clingy though. Remember you trust your partner

Frankenstein99 · Answer

It kind of depends. I would probably just let it go knowing full well she'd shut him down. but if he was persistent and harrassed her then i'd step in "She's said no"!

xDeeplyFlawed · Answer

Let them handle it and if all goes south, walk out, go home, grab my shit and call my mum/brother to come pick me up and take me home with them.

xTom98 · Answer

If it was something serious she’d refuse flirting with him, if she does flirt back I’d look for the next hot girl and do the same 😄

DiegoO · Answer

I would step in and part off my girlfriend if the aggressor would came out to be a girl, if not, I would step in brake that guy arm, depending of how ugly things get to be.

hindril · Answer

It depends. I would step in unless she already has started to handle it. Some people don't realize they are getting hit on because they don't look for the signs.

Myk13 · Answer

If she doesn’t handle it. I will make it clear to him as nicely as I can the first time. If he keeps on, then a little physical persuasion may become necessary.

Coldwater · Answer

I’d jump on that mfs back!

Historylover18 · Answer

(I'm gonna use theoretical terms considering I'm single.) If she can handle it, I would let her handle it and just stare daggers at him. If I need to step in, I would smother his head in the pavement :)

WitchsLove · Answer

I think I'd let them handle it unless I saw the girl was being way too insistent.

kittycat119 · Answer

See what he does. Cause knowing my guy he'll flirt back

Philyouup · Answer

I hope my woman would not be helpless and handle on her own, knowing I got her back. If the guy was persistent, I would have to step in.

JKevinB · Answer

I'd let her respond while never losing eye contact with the other male. If he pressed it... I would step in big-time.

Anonymous · Answer

So I have this really nice intimidating look, where you just raise an eyebrow which gives this really serious look saying "walk away or get beaten up!" Works pretty much everytime I guess the scar above my eyebrow helps!

LuvAsh · Answer

Well I'd hope that there would be no need for me to intervene bc i would expect whoever I'm with to set things straight.

TsubasaCorrupted · Answer

I intervene if she seems upset in any way, or I think he can be a danger.

winniethepoah · Answer

I would let them deal with it. As long as they weren't flirting back. Otherwise I would just laugh it off after with them about it.

dae07102 · Answer

I wouldn't mind it. I would just let her handle it. I trust her to do the right thing.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

Make out with my partner while giving them the finger.

stonerbaby · Answer

I’ll usually make it very clear I’m with him like I’ll walk up to him and kiss him or hold his hand right in front of them.

Pisilli · Answer

I would expect my boyfriend to be letting her know he already got one but i would also come by if it's taking to long and set the chick straight

thebigc · Answer

It's a judgement call for them. Assuming the relationship isn't rocky, I'd trust my partner. If nothing else, it would tell me something about them.

SketchForger · Answer

Ignore them as long as they don't get too close (physically)

Leviathan_Charmer · Answer

Ya I'll step in. And if he don't step out it will escalate. She's mine, dammit.

Kemil_Zhoki · Answer

If she showed interest I'd dump her right there. If not, no harm no foul.

AynonOMouse · Answer

Challenge them to a fight. That's the only correct response.

Budvizer · Answer

Slowly but firmly start a fight unless the dude backs off in the time I give him before a fight breaks out.

EmotionOfFear · Answer

If she shows interest, I'm stepping in to show him that I'm right there and she's my significant other.

Toad-1 · Answer

that fucker is goin down

PrettyRegular · Answer

She would handle it with a couple of words. If he doesn't believe, I would say something too.

Glen68 · Answer

I'd let her handle it unless the guy wasn't taking no for an answer

CoffeeWC · Answer

You dare engage in conversation with my significant other? What a pitiful excuse of a man.

bigfishtank · Answer

It would depend how he reacts. If he can handle it appropriately I’d let him do his thing.
