Forums - General - Did I assault my ex girlfriend?

Given the situation (as per your description anyway), you'll be hard pressed to find anyone in the world who would convict you of anything.
Unless, of course, you live in the one nation where you can sue for everything.

I think you're fine. Just curious about one thing; why would you tell her you're sorry? She's the one who has been cheating and made you miserable, for her to push you away emotionally and act high & mighty, she must have some real issues.

I now have no idea what I said "I'm sorry." Really wasn't thinking clearly at the time.

Well, that's undertstandable, in matter of the heart no one thinks clearly.

I think the best thing is to strike it from your mind, but that will take a lot of time. I've experienced similar things myself, years ago, it will fade and eventually become something one muses over in wonder down the line, that is also a time where one sees things more objectively. A lot of old conflicts appear completely different after a while if one let's them fade rather than simmer.

You'll be fine, bro!



Nice comic akvod.


OP
HOOOOoooOoOLD UP and slow your shit down.
1. You have problems. Accept that you do. I need look no further for evidence than you listened to advice to play sax for a girl.
2. You care WAY too much about being an "assaulter". Srsly who the fuck cares? Next time she says something, say, "fuck the poh-lice". What's going to happen to you? You gunna get arrested? Go to jail? >_>
3. Find another girl....like, now.
4. Ask girls out. A kind of pseudo, easy way to go out with a girl is if you see a girl going somewhere (who you know) ask her what she's up to, and ask if she minds you walking there with her since you're bored. Usually it results in actually doing the following activity as well. The key is to look independent. You don't need to be asked to join something, you get to the destination and pick up your phone and start texting as you walk away saying "hey thanks for the chat, looks like fun so have a good time". Learn that "going out" and "dating" is not much different from what you just did, with a difference being maybe putting your hand on her shoulder for a few minutes or giving her a hug goodbye.
5. Talk to a friend's older sister. Do you know older sisters? Talk to them. Ask them everything and DON'T ARGUE.
6. Don't ignore the girl. Next time you see her, feel free to walk up WITH her and just say you want to talk. Ask her about something she's into and ACT LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED EVER. Imagine like you've never even met her, but don't do that whole "restarting" roleplay.
7. Pussy on the pedestal. You put it there. Take it down.
8. Girlfriends are the same as guyfriends. You don't fall in love with your bros, do you? Act exactly the way you would with guys, just more polite and gentle.
9. Just do what I said.

10. disclaimer. I gave you these bits of advice because I think the most important problem is that you take the relationship too seriously, and perhaps expect bonds to grow too quickly. Life isn't like tv or the movies....well...it is...but the main difference is that the things that happen in shows or movies should rightly be the culmination of several years, not several episodes. So slow down, relax, don't take things too seriously, ALWAYS SMILE, ALWAYS LAUGH, never get mad, value your own time.

 

EDIT:

Also stop playing the saxaphone. If your parents are making you, tell them you don't want their life.



The fact that you don't think hugging a girl against her will is something "menial" means you don't respect or understand other people's personal space and freedom.

You're forcibly expressing your affection to a girl, and it's creepy. Imagine if a guy began brushing the hair of some girl or putting his arms around her against her will. Both are less physical than a hug, but they're unwanted physical contact.

I have no idea about the assault (that's a legal question), but you need to stay away from her and stop acting like a victim.

OP...

Sort your bloody head out, you sound on the EDGE!

Broken hearts are fixed by time and time alone, a good shagging some piece of trash you find attractive works wonders too but that's it.

Talking about it doesn't help, it just makes you wallow and slows time down.

yes, that was assault. based on your initial account, a reasonable person would have realized that touching her like that was unwanted. you also sound like youve been stalking her.

This, and...

This.



From a purely technical legal point of view you committed both assault and battery. What is relevant is what the victim reasonably believed was happening when you behaved as you did.

Having said that the assault, such as it was, was minor and, if prosecuted, would in all probability incur nothing more than a slap on the wrists. However, continued contact with her is inadvisable and would be seen as exacerbating and escalating the situation.



Sorry to hear that my man.

I really don't think you did anything worthy of assault based on what you wrote. Like if you don't leave her alone a harassment could be in the cards...but since you've moved on as you said, I don't get why you'd be in for trouble.

It's not his fault most women are heartless.
