If I'm getting beat up, I'm honestly not sure how I'd want my guy to react. I'd honestly hate to see him get beat up but I'd probably also be annoyed if he just stood there watching me get hit.
If my guy is getting beat up, I'm stepping in, no doubt. I'll absolutely get beaten up in most cases but I don't care.
Despite what a lot of people (especially those with savior complexes) might say, nobody knows exactly what they would do in a situation involving violence until it actually happens.
I sure wouldn't stand by and let it happen. I'd jump in and start pounding on the guy hitting my wife. He won't need a doctor when I'm done, he'll need a body bag.
