It's not that I don't like to fight, I definitely stand my ground, but the kid is 2x my size so it's evident I would lose unless I had combat training. Bitter ex-boyfriend, you know? And I'd stand up for the girl if he says dumb shit even though I'd probably get decked. Just wondering if I had the law on my side incase he does anything stupid...
Isn't there some rule where if you can clearly kick the other kids ass, it could be considered attempt at murder?

Ignore the kid. What would you be proving if you took a swing? I've been in your shoes and it was probably the most difficult thing I've ever had to do, but I laughed it off after a while. I didn't like what my aggression was doing to my girlfriend. That side of me was scaring her. He was provoking me into being a monster, which would have inadvertently caused for me to push my chick away. I eventually decided that she comes first and not some loser who has nothing better to do than to try to wedge himself into the middle of my happy relationship. He needed a new hobby. He eventually backed off when I stopped reacting. I knew deep down that he couldn't hang with my stuff. Weakness becomes fear. Fear becomes anger.
Be in control.
How ya doing, buddy?
