While I certainly don't agree with beating women, if this isn't true it could fuck his shit up pretty badly. If it is true, then fuck that poosy.
My ex-girlfriend (who was a narcissist) left me awhile back and proceeded to tell everyone in town that I mentally abused her, and towards the end of our relationship started beating her. It was all a total lie, but there were some people who believed her and perpetuated the rumors until the whole town was talking about it. Lost friends, job, the good reputation I had -- couldn't go anywhere without people talking about me or calling me names and shit. That happened almost two years ago and I'm just now starting to get my life back together. It was extremely fucking embarrassing and totally below the belt. By far the toughest thing I've ever dealt with (am dealing with). If this dudes gonna beat ass, I wish he'd get in with my heinous, shitty ex-girlfriend. She actually deserves that shit.
