I don't expect my boyfriend to get physical at the drop of a hat, but if I'm in a bad situation I want him to step in. Most of the time all it takes is for him to tactfully intervene so that the jerk knows it's a bad idea to continu. But I also know that if anyone tried to actually hurt me, my man would drop him lol

Honestly, if I'm being hit or slapped around, then I DO expect my man to step in and defend me to the best of his ability since I am not physically able to defend myself anymore due to medical issues. But if it's a verbal thing, I just don't know. In most cases, I just need him to comfort me and help me control myself because I can and have been known to snap on people who push me beyond the limits of my own self control. Anyone who's ever been abused can probably relate to the feeling of being up against a wall or "trapped" even in a verbal situation. For instance, my ex-husband got angry with me one day and started cussing me over a question I asked him. My boyfriend was with me and he squeezed my hand gently just as I about to light into my ex and read him the riot act. When I looked at Wayne, he was biting his lower lip and softly saying "Don't do it! Just don't do it!" while shaking his head. He knew I was about to snap because this was one of the men who had abused me in the past, but because of our daughter, I had to tolerate him. I took a deep breath and ignored my ex-husband. Wayne waited until he had calmed down and then calmly told JL he did not need to disrespect me like that over a simple question. I had a valid reason for asking the question and all he needed to do was say either yes or no. There was no need for the harsh language and verbal abuse and if that is the way JL treated the mother of his child, Wayne would have to second guess the way he treated our daughter. My ex got the point and quickly apologized to me. I developed a huge level of ultimate respect for Wayne and even though I love him to death, a major crush on the protector side of him. Needless to say when he proposed, I didn't even hesitate to say "Yes".

Would love to live in a world where a man protects his woman or any other woman from that matter, but more importantly protects his wife and family from what is sometimes destructive attitudes and disrespect
From his own family

I have a question, what if a female friend of your man disrespect you? For instance, the friend is calling her out of her name and threatening the woman. Should the man be expected to defend his woman? Would it be wrong if he continued his friendship with the woman?

I can handle myself & I would do all I could so it doesn't escalate. I don't want to put myself in situations (with my mouth) that will cause my man to have to be physical behalf BUT I need a man that I know that if it came to that that he can & is willing to defend me.

I’ve always said that I could never be with a man who couldn’t protect me. For me, it is a huge turn off when a man is unable to defend me or even himself. I wouldn’t give a man with Kevin Hart’s attitude a second look.

I feel that I can handle myself, but I am from a family of men that have the thought at times of "why should you".. It speaks volumes to me when a man steps in on some situations, not all and basically say I got this, you don't have to deal with this, although he knows that I can..
