Found out my girlfriend was cheating on me. Broke up with her immediately. When I tried to leave her apartment she literally wouldn’t get out of my way. I’ve seen enough tv shows to know what happens to me if I try to move her.

So I grabbed my phone and recorded her completely uninjured and blocking my exit. I called 911 told them I was being held against my will. Gave her address. Went back to recording. I think she thought I was bluffing. Cops showed up. We were separated. Surprisingly she told the truth.

The cops asked if I wanted to press charges. I said I just wanted to leave but I needed a copy of the report so she could not change the story after they fact.

I’ve been hearing from mutuals that I’m an asshole for calling the cops on her. There were two people that knew I called the cops. I didn’t tell anyone. So I made a public post in our friend group chat. I said that if everyone who was calling me out really wanted I would go to the police with my recordings and press charges.

She posted right away that everyone should leave me alone because what happened was private.

Her folks didn’t get the memo because they came to talk to me where I work. I showed them the video and gave them the same option. They said I was three times her size and wasn’t really being held against my will. I asked her dad what he would have done if he heard that I manhandled her out of my way. He told me to fuck off and stay away from her.

My pleasure.

So I absolutely think I did nothing wrong. But I’m still hearing murmurs that I didn’t need to involve the cops.
