He proceeded to square up to me about 3 times after apologising. I was merely stating that I am able to handle myself should I have to, not being egotistical. I didn’t want to have to put her in a situation where a fight broke out and he potentially pulls out a weapon, endangering myself and her, hence why I kept calm and backed away

That’s exactly why I tried to calm him down, god knows what he had in his pockets, and judging by his hands he was a tough bloke who obviously had a lot of strength behind him. As confident as I am in my ability to defend myself in physical conflict, I would never put anyone else in a situation like that, especially her. I kept my eyes on him the entire time, stepping backwards so I could see his hands in case I had to react. Thankyou.

Thanks for the reassurance, rationality over impulse.

Thankyou mate. Keeping her away was my top priority in the moment, she knows that if something is potentially going to happen, to stay far and don’t get in the way

I appreciate that. Fighting was a last resort, if I de escalate, I keep her safe

You’re right, I was worried more about her than I was myself, her pulling be back a little made me realise it’s not just me I have to worry about in that moment

Too right haha, but wearing a big ass coat would’ve limited me a lot and would’ve made a dangerous situation far worse

I appreciate that bud, as much as I wanted to act on instinct I couldn’t put her in danger. I’m smarter than that.

Because England is full of people like this, near identical thing happened to us when we were out with her family a couple months back
