Im confused, I was raised on a farm in SK & I was a bit of a bad ass (yeah I sort of grew up now ,Im 21) & got kicked off my farm, I moved to a city & worked there for a while & a year later moved to a small town 1/2 hour away, I had alot of good loyal friends there & Then this November I got the opportunity to work in Toronto , a biggg switch in lifestyle. Well, I found me a girlfriend here & weve been going out for over 4 months & I really like her, One problem, She has this X that used to treat her like **** (including physical abuse,something I have a biggggg problem with) Well Apparently her group of friends & her knew this guy Since grade school & She (obviously) doesnt want him hanging around the group any more & he usually doesnt because the only reason he ever did was to try to prove to her that he was the "better one" & once he made her look bad then hed ditch the group for 5 months or so. Well, the other night we were @ the pool hall & part of her group of friends wanted to bring this ******* there & I told them NO I dont want my girfriend to ever have to see him again, Now Im apparently an ******* according to her friends ,Im seperating the group, Man I think that is a strange group of "friends" if they were my friends we would have kicked this guys ass & he would know to never show his woman beating face again, Maybe big city ppl think differently than smalltown boys like me. My question is what would make me the bigger (wiser) man, to kick is ass & tell him to stay away?(@ the risk of getting lynched the next week (hes got alot of followers I hear) Or just let him show up & ignor him & if he does pull something ,THEN kick his ass? The thing is that ,I know being my girlfriends friends (guy friends) are cowards they would probably stand up for the ******* being theyre scared of him & knew him longer than they knew me. HMmmmm (city folk confuse me because where I come from guys who treat girls like **** get taken out behind the barn & well you know) Sorry for the long "chickish " post Maybe Ill just run him over with my Cougar. Any help?

(Sorry I didnt mean to single out "big city" ppl like that. I know I dont like it when these Toronto ppl stereotype smalltowners) I just noticed it looked kind of bad.

What's your girlfriend think you should do? That's all that really matters. If you run him off and show him up and she thinks you're a heel for doing so, it's all for naught. If she wants you to run him off, then you'll both be looking for a new group of friends, or so it would seem. Maybe that's not all bad...

You've only been told one side of the story. There's probably more to it than what you've heard. The friends know the guy better than you do.It's not your business. Just lay low, and the guy will eventually go away. Being a 'cowboy' and threatening to 'kick his a**' if he ever comes around will only make the others resent you... and you be the one doing the walking. Leave it alone. Don't ask too many questons, and he'll eventually be gone and you'll be with the 'in' crowd.

Just leave it alone, if and when you guys meet or he does something to your girl friend then call the police. Believe me when I say I have been there and done that. Ended up in a pile of trouble and the girl friend has been long long gone, but the repercussions of that night still follow me to this day. It also sounds like your so called friends are not your friends at all. If it was me I would move on at least from these so called friends, if you get into a hassle with the guy and " kick his a$$ " you will be buying alot more trouble than you can handle.JOHN ------------------ 65 2+2 FASTBACK 87 TAURUS WAGON 98 F150 XLT TRITON V8 4.6, 4 WHEEL DRIVE Member:Vancouver Island Mustang Association M&M #1710 MyPhotoPage MY TRUCK

i think i would just leave the group. then you would find out if your girlfriend wants you or if she wants to stay back close to her old boyfriend. depending on whether she gos with you or stays back with the crowd. i am 55 years old and can tell you for a fact that a woman that gets out of an abusive relationship will 99% of the time get back into one just as bad or worse the next time. i dont have a clue why, all i know is that it is the truth!------------------ mike r racing is real everything else is just a game. 81 capri-7.51 @89mph 1/8 1.54 60 ft. http://prestage.com/site/site_display.asp?SiteID=141

Walk away! As Mike said, you only heard one side of the story.

Everyone is correct on walking away..If you kick his ass you will end-up in jail and she will go back with him more likly than not..besides if he beats up the ladies than he himself is a punk and a coward so he wont fight you he will have you thrown in jail..Bruce

dude..... you gotta walk away on this one...The "ex" is her problem, not yours. If she chooses to keep this abusive guy in her life for what ever reason, its her decision. She needs to be the one to stand up for herself to this guy and her friends if she really doesn't want him around. Now... where does that leave you? That's what your girlfriend and yourself are going to have to work out. There is probably going to have to be some level of compromise from both parties to find a solution. This solution may not be the best scenario for each of you as individuals, but will work in the long term of being a couple. Just don't kick the guy's a**!!! It will do nothing to help the relationship. but if the guy does mysteriously show up in your hometown in the country... chris

I say...find a new grrl too. If all that matters is the approval of friends no matter what you think, it's time to hit the bricks. If not, you might end up in a long term situation that was a real waste of time. But what the hell do I know, I've just been married for 21 years, dating isn't an option... ------------------ 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 ext. cab st. bed 5.9L...

Thanks guys Ive given it alot of thought & so has she, She talked to her friends & told them what I said about not being very good friends if they want to have a guy in their group that Treat their best friend like garbage, & I think they did alot of thinking because his name hasnt even come up since last week & they have being showing alot more respect to us, I guess when I typed the first post I was really POd thats why I wanted only to beat him up, I guess that never really solves alot anyway, but so far things are getting better, & I know some of you told me I should leave the girl but she means so much to me ,more than any other girl I have ever been with, she just had it stuck in her head that woman abusing wasnt all that wrong because of the way she was raised & treated by her father & X boyfriends, now she sees my point & doensnt want to hear of her X again. Thanks for all the input I just needed some 2nd 3rd & 4th opinions & You guys really helped, now that this problem is hopefully over with... Back to Windsor Strokers!!

I want to add the fact that getting in trouble with the law could only be a small consequence. What if this guy ISN'T such a punk afterall and ends up kicking your ass instead, possibly injuring you severely or even killing you, (maybe he's got a gun under the seat of his car....you just don't know). Then where would you be, and all of that over a girl and her friends.
