modern advancement in relationships?
Our island police blotter always has some weirdness, and this hot weather has probably added to the weirdness factor, doncha think?
This week, modern domestic violence:
Assault: A 47-year-old Bainbridge man was arrested for punching his fiance at their Moji Lane home shortly after midnight. According to the victim, the suspect became enraged after she expressed displeasure in his lack of tidiness. The suspect went to a bedroom and she began watching TV downstairs. He sent her a text message ordering her to come to bed. When she refused, the suspect became angry and insulting.
First off, I’m guessing her expression of displeasure was along the lines of “you’re such a filthy, stinkin’ PIG” or maybe just “isn’t it time to switch to the summer pair of underwear?”
Not to say she deserved or asked for any beating. I firmly believe in freedom of insult. Just ask the hubs.
But what really gets me is what he does after she goes downstairs: he texts her.
Granted I’m old and have a mental block against even learning how to text (and, I might add, my spellcheck is also against it as a word), but really? Has it come to this? Post-fight texting? Does that work, guys?
“dont h8 me, plz”
“ur the best”
“i ws a jrk”
Are you people texting to each other in the same house??
What ever happened to the silent treatment? Texting is not part of that, kids! I don’t care how quiet your keys are.
Click-click-click.
“I’m not talking to you! Stop texting me!”
Click-click-click.
“I mean it! I’m blocking you, you a$$hole! Stop texting me!”
Click-click-click.
“There! I turned my phone off! Happy now?!”
Click-click-click.
She grabs his phone and stomps on it.
End scene.

I can not imagine two people exchanging text messages while they are in the same house! That is different, funny even. First time i heard of this.

my widowed sister and her 2nd husband [the marriage was annulled less than 2 years in just after this] communicated by e-mail. we all thought that was childish.

I’ve worked with plenty of women in abusive relationships and many of the times the man’s rage is triggerd y next to nothing. Hope that was the end of that relationship.
