My wife just watched me get beat up by a group of thugs, should I leave her?
We married 1 year ago and been together for 4 years total. The other week while walking home (live in LA) these huge group of thugs (all one race I dont want to say which) blocked our way home, they pushed her asie and started banging on me for almost 3 minutes before someone ELSE called the cops. I was lucky I only came out with bruises and a chipped tooth. Anyway my wife just distanced herself from the beating and watched on. Should I leave her...I can't look at her the same anymore.
Additional Details
i expected her to at least call the cops, and NOT just head over to the next block and watch

She probably doesn't look at you the same anymore either.

There is an intense pain that comes with watching your signifigant other suffer and as a woman there isn't much we can do to protect a man. She probably feels that your manhood has been compromised and doesn't want you to feel like she thinks less of you. She may have felt that by doing something to help you, you'd be unhappy with her protecting you.

You should talk to her about this. It's probably beating her up inside more than you know.

That's a sad thing to live through, but you lived through it. Now you sound like it's her fault! As someone else has stated, perhaps she was in shock and didn't now how to react. You sound ashamed as if your honor as a man has been damaged. You may need to seek couples counseling, but be careful, the wrong choice of action can make this situation worse!

cool dude
Well,

She must have been in shock... Not her fault.

How can you blame her for not helping with you or going in to some kind of fight or flight mode?

We can all assume under different circumstance we would have done something different, but as you know... what you expected didn't come out the way you thought it would.

You guys need therapy if you want to repair this relationship... for lack of better way of saying it. This could happen again and her actions could be more defensive then flight.

Good luck

That is awful. Talk with her and find out why she didn't do something. Maybe she was scared. You might need to visit a counselor to sort this out. I hope you are okay now.

Ask her why she did it. She may have been too shocked. I think you two should discuss this first before just leaving her..I don't think its really worth leaving her over.

Man, woman and child are walking down a trail. Tiger attacks. What happens? The man sacrifices his life to stall the tiger while the woman grabs the child and runs for safety.

Another story; one village attacks another and wins. What happens? The men fight to the death while the woman and children try to get away. Let’s say the attacking men win. What happens? They kill all the defending men and cart off the women and maybe the children. A month later, while they’re loyal husbands are rotting in their graves, where are the women? Sitting cooking and chatting with their new friends, the women of their new village, and making babies with their new husbands. If you think about it it makes perfect sense. What else could they do anyway? It insures the next generation will survive. If it worked any other way we would quickly go extinct.

My points are;
There is no circumstance under which a woman will naturally sacrifice herself for you.

They can get over you and move on in a heart beat.

Men are evolved to sacrifice themselves for women, children or tribe.
Women are evolved to only make great sacrifice for themselves and children, not men.

You are an expendable tool. You are there to serve their purpose and you can be replaced.

This is the way it is in almost all social animals. It's natural for her not to get involved, and women have a very different sense of loyalty than men. The problem for men comes in that we are expected to 'let them be women', but we're no longer allowed to 'be men.' We have to 'behave'.

That having been said she should have called the cops or done something, but her actions were in a sense perfectly natural. I'd say she may have been too much in shock to think of it or like many women she may not have realized the seriousness of it. I've noticed that women who have never been in a real fight have no clue that in real life a person can kill with a punch or a kick and that it does real damage. Their only experience with fighting is in the movies where people take punishment that would kill 100 men and then get up. When you're a guy and you got in a fight in school, the first time you got hit and saw stars you realized it's not that way.

So I know it seems like she abandon you but try not to take it too personally. You might want to look for a different woman, or at least make a mental note not to expect to much loyalty or quick thinking out of this one. Sorry you had to find this out the hard way. Here, have a beer.

EDIT - Listen to some of these guys talking all badass. What a bunch of posers. Hey, IM RICH, you get your butt set upon by a group of guys and then tell us how tough you are.
