I need to know, was i in the right?

[Brad Shepard]

this is kinda a long story, so bear with me please.

Ok, so i was hanging out with my buddies on sunday, it was a good time, we where just having fun, and then my friend starts getting into a "Dick" mode. for some back story, he has had 1 good relactionship, and he broke up with her because she wouldent put out. anyway, he has been flurting with my girlfriend for the past few months, and i continured to tell him to back off, and i would have ended owr friendship right then and there, but after knowing the guy for 10 years, i was trying to give him a chance. (Back to sunday, sorry) he started insulting her, stuff like she is going to cheat on me and how im stupid for trusting her. then he called her a slut, thats when i lost it, i went to punch him, but he cought my punch, then i kicked him in the side of the head, knocking him out, i then walked home, and was angry for the rest of the night.

well, what want to know is was i in the right or not? because i dont feel bad, i just want to know if it was right of me to do or not.

There is no 'right'. Do you regret what you did, is a better question.
Since you don't, then it was worth it.

 

[VoidEternal]

I have to agree with Cheery on this.

And congradulate you on that kick

 

[Bofus Teefus]

I don't look at a violent response to someone's verbal attack on your GF as "wrong." More like "suggestive of an inability to control one's anger." You could've just told him to piss off (I mean piss off for good), and probably should've told him to way before this happened from the sound of it. "Wrong" would be if you continued to hang out with a wank who obviously has no respect for you or your GF, who it sounds like he's trying to bonk.

Discussed in the Relationship Problem thread, which is at the following link: ---> http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.117161-Relationship-problem-thread?page=26#5178719

 

[A Weary Exile]

I never condone initiating violence, hitting someone just because of what they say is unacceptable, no matter how tough you want to look in front of your girlfriend.

No I do not feel that you were in the right, and I don't believe that you knocked him out with a kick, but that's the internet for ya'.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

I would say you did fine, perhaps a bit much, but it should work out fine... Maybe.

 

[Olrod]

My mind must be playing tricks on me, I'm sure I read a thread just like this only a few days ago.

Do you also post on a Star Trek or Doctor Who message board, or am I just getting deja vu from this thread?

Well.....he insulted you, and he insulted your girlfriend at the same time he was flirting with her beforehand.
While he was in apparent *ULTRA-DICK MODE* perhaps you could have reasoned with him more BEFORE you knocked him unconscious?
It would have been acceptable had you tried to reason with him a little more, but if he continued, you are well in your rights to kick his ass.
[sub]....unless of course she was with you in which case you don't need to offer anything after the first warning[/sub]

 

[Insanum]

Tell him your related to chuck norris, And that the beatings will continue till he treats your ***** woman with respect.
/joke.

In all seriousness, He's overcompensating, He's jealous. One things for sure mate, If he thinks your girl is going to cheat, im fairly certain it wont be with him.

i wish she was with me, but the whole thing started because she goes to collage out of state.

sadley no, but im a red belt in Taekwondo, if that makes more sence into the knocking him out part.

Couldn't have set it better myself

Was it worth it?

Ah......so he insulted you, and insulted your girlfriend while she was out of earshot eh.......
Besides several words that are all synonymous with the word "asshole" circling my brain........
Well, i will list what i think of him then,
he is jealous of you and your girlfriend (as Insanum has stated)
he is an asshole (but we established that already)
He DESERVED IT (no, i'm not changing that view)

Stop worrying about whether or not you were right or not, he was practically asking for that kick, you can't stop anyone one from hurting themselves can you......*wink*

This, really this.
Sounds like your G.F denied him or he screwed her and then was feeeling guilty/ thought she would tell you. Either way, he needed a decking.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Well, it was in defense of your girlfriend's honor, but I don't "right" is the proper term.

Maybe "justified."

Off topic: Ratrace123, what is that in your avatar, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Nicarus]

Well, I suppose the guy was asking for it and needed one helluva wake-up call. If you don't regret doing it, then what's to feel bad about?

just to let you know, denied, not screwed, the guys never gotten any.

 

[Dragon_of_red]

Weve all been over this brad, no, your fine, the idiot deserved it.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

I wasn't there, so I don't know the degree to which his "Dick mode" extends, but from your description, it seems like you overreacted a tad.
