He punched her in the mouth, is this justifiable?

  • Shit, I clicked the wrong choice. Deduct one from the "Best friend" tally.

    So you were all under the influence of whatever and she was talking shit and acting like an ass. That's no excuse for your boyfriend socking her in the face.

    He sounds like someone with anger-control issues who isn't very emotionally mature. You'd be wise to think about whether you really want to be with someone like that. What happens if you ever say something that pisses him off?

    She sounds like the sort who mouths off about involving the cops when she's actually too chicken-shit to actually do it, but she'd be within her rights to do so, and it might be a wake-up call for your boyfriend if she does.

    If you didn't assault her or assist your boyfriend in his assault, it's hard to see what you could be charged with.

    Whatever happens, you'd be wise to find another best friend.

    • Okay no problem.

      Yeah talking shit plus sexually groping me. But guess it's not sexual assault if a girl does it, they'll probably laugh about it in court in my own defence, if she decides to throw me under the bus. She was texting me the next day saying she's going to include me because I'm a "fag" and that I was the one who was groping her.

      Yeah I agree I kept my cool, but would she also get blamed for chucking a drink at him and homophobic and dark slurs, like is that a form of assault as well? But way less minor obviously than a punch to the face.
      Because I think that's why she hasn't done anything yet.

      Yeah she's definitely not a friend of mine anymore.

      • Sexual assault is sexual assault regardless of gender of either person! Why did you think it wouldn't be?

        • Alot of people around me don't believe it is. Not just here but people I know, heard so many of my friends say they wouldn't mind being touch by a random girl as long as she looks decent enough...

          Even had a teacher in high school who tried to sleep with me. When my friends noticed how much she flirted with me infront of everyone, they told me to go ahead and try and sleep with her after class. But she's old and I'm not into that and her sexual advances were just awkward.
          But I agree with you 100% I don't understand how others don't see it as such.

      • A woman groping a woman against her will is still sexual assault. If it was a guy doing that would you just give him a pass. I hate double standards.

        The smoke doesn't count as assault. But the drink does. But the punch was escalation. So she is guilty of assault, he is guilty of physical assault.

        • I'm a guy does that make it sexual assualt in the eyes of the court? Same court that thinks guys can only get raped by guys...
          Yeah same double standards don't even make sense, we're both human, gender shouldn't matter in crime.

          Okay so looks like both parties will be charge or manily my bf...

          • Gender shouldn't matter but it does. Unfortunately.

            Like what would happen if a fourteen year old boy got a twelve year old girl pregnant?

            • Well no one bit. A fourteen year old girl got pregnant by a twelve year old boy in the UK. The boy was going to take care of his child without question. Two years after the birth turns out she was also sleeping with a boy her own age who moved away. He was the father.

              During those two years nothing happened to her. No charges. Nothing.

              If it where a fourteen year old boy who got a twelve year old girl pregnant he would have served time and put on a sex offender list.

              • Yeah that's fucked up, yeah they don't even take young boys seriously.
                Doesn't anyone even try to picture that happening to their son or little sibling.
