Why Men Don't Do Anything About It

About a month ago I got a call from one of my guy friends who mentioned he had just broken up with his girlfriend. Like the good friend I am, I asked him if he'd like to talk, or just hang out and calm down for a bit. We did, and continued to "hang out" for several weeks after the break-up... during which I learned just how abusive his ex was, and just how cruel some of the things she had done to him were. She caught us one day eating lunch with a few others, and upon seeing me she started screaming at him, saying how he "cheated" on her (with me), how he should "grow some balls" and pay all of her bills since he left her with no money (they were together for only 9 months). We ignored her... several days later (and on my birthday, no less!) she broke into his apartment, destroyed half of my things, smashed his dishes, threw the pieces at the two of us, then came at me in an attempt to hit me or something (I managed to hold her off until the other people there could constrain her). She's now been banned from his work place, the apartment building, and we are in the process of getting a restraining order.

So yes, women can be abusive. Very much so... and I'm glad that I was there to help out my friend (we are now together), because I understand how hard it must be for some men who were/are in similar relationships.

Good for you Amber Eyes. There are many people in this world that would not help. They would say they don’t need the drama. Or they would say the man should be able to end things better. :)
edit: Oh yeah, and lets not forget the code amoung woman where they don't want to be a boyfriend steeler.

I think the term "boyfriend stealer" is rather amusing. You can't steal a person.. lol. I'm sure my bf's ex views me as a "boyfriend stealer," but perhaps if she hadn't been so abusive, he would have stayed with her.
