In an incredibly cathartic reddit thread, a guy who admits to hitting his girlfriend and fighting loudly enough to attract police attention tries to drum up sympathy and seek “legal advice” for getting thrown out on his ass and almost all 120 some comments are bluntly explaining how and why he has nobody to blame but himself.

It’s also a great look at what you can do when you’re in a situation like hers. She took a very smart series of steps to give herself a way out of a potentially dangerous relationship.

My favorite line out of the responses:

“ I don’t know what your checklist for “am I abusive?” is, but you checked everyone else’s boxes—even when we only have the story coming from your fingers “

OUCH
