My boyfriend couldn't protect us? Should he be ashamed?
Don't misunderstand me, I love him but he thinks a guy should be able to take care of himself.
Two weeks ago we were walking through the park when two thugs came up and demanded we hand over our watches and wallets. My boyfriend refused so they jumped him, cracked him on the back of the head with something and knocked him out cold. They were about to take his Rolex when a group of guys came running up and chased them off. My boyfriend wasn't badly hurt and was conscious by the time the ambulance came. So we can count our blessings for that.
Since then things have been a little weird and it has to be because of what happened. I understand the whole macho thing about protecting your lady no matter how stupid it is but no one can be expected to fight.
How can I tell him it doesn't matter? Or make it understand I don't expect him to be Superman wihout undermiming his confidence.
