If you really love someone, would you still call the cops, knowing how badly it messes up a life?

if your girlfriend was drunk at home, and you are a bit yourself, and she starts a fight with you, yelling, etc. would you call the cops and tell them that she hit you in the face, and have them arrest her?

I would take full advantage of her drunken, un-lucid state and slap her around a few times for those times she made me go see her harpy of a mother. [Diabolically laughs]

No, but on a serious note, though. I would call the cops, rather than leaving or just ignoring her. For one, if she drunk and I leave her alone, she may pick a fight with someone else and get herself hurt, or killed. I wouldn't just ignore her because she may think that getting drunk and becoming pugnacious is an acceptable way of life.

Although it may be hard, and she may not understand, I would call the cops and let them take her away so she can spend the night in the holding tank. After she is released, I would try to get her into some kind of therapy or rehab. People that become combative whist drunk should never get to that point of intoxication.

And if the cops come and you spend the night in prison, that doesn't necessarily go on your record if one's companion doesn't want to press charges. You'll be in the system, so when the cops are looking for you, they'll know what you look like and have your finger prints.

If your companion goes through the trouble of calling the cops on you, he/she cares more than you may think. Think about how much easier it would be for that person to get up and just leave. -- which is what most people would do.

If he REALLY loved you he'd dump your ass.

Period. You're describing a drunk. And a MEAN drunk at that. If you're an alcoholic and in denial and taking it out on HIM when you get drunk?


Love has nothing whatsoever to do with VIOLENCE. If you're a VIOLENT DRUNK and he calls the cops to come get you, it's not his fault it's YOURS for drinking so much.

If it really happened, then damn right I'd call the law, because it'd mean she didn't love me.

Nothing would happen if you did; they'd get a whiff of YOUR breath and maybe pull you BOTH in...

As long as you both drink, as long as one of you gets violent, it's going to remain a volatile relationship and offers nothing but more of the same.

Damn straight. Loving someone does NOT mean putting up with abuse.

I would dump you the next morning and strongly suggest you attended anger management classes and either checked into rehab or start going to AA meeting for your own sake. Just because you're a woman doesn't mean it is OK to hit a man. If you did any actual physical harm to his face (bloody lip, broken nose, etc) you bet your ass he is justified in calling the cops.

I wouldn't call the cops even if it didn't mess up someone's life. The cops are the sworn enemies of men. Men who call the cops usually end up in jail, and never see their family again.

A friend of mine tried to save his children one night when his wife was beating on them. He took the kids and hid in the bathroom with the door locked. She called the cops and lied. He ended up in jail for 2 weeks, and she got full custody of the children to beat on any time she felt like it.

Anyone who calls the cops ends any hope of a future relationship, and deserves big time revenge.
