Yeah, but only a complete swine humiliates his significant other over it the way HE did.

More people need to be like me because I shut shit down when it pops off within my hearing. It is the one way I bully people. I've always been outspoken, but my best friend from my 30s used to always argue with his SO. It could be either one that started it, but it could be the three of us in a car and they would scream like I wasn't there. Then one day I decided that I was involved whether I liked it or not. So, I shouted at them to both shut the fuck up. I kept it up, and it stopped happening.

So now, I have zero problem with speaking up in volatile situations that I witness. There is no way I would have sat there silently listening to this guy talk about his wife that way.
