Welcome back Wayne
I remember my girlfriends 18th. I ruined it.
I was 19 at the time, a week away from 20. We went out for a meal with her mum, dad, auntie, uncle, two nans, sister and sisters boyfriend. I've never really been keen on her sisters boyfriend, always thought he was a show off etc, mr big I am, mr I used to be a boxer. MR I'm a geezer. I do this and I do that. Now this is my girls 18th. It was a big thing for me, but he had to be getting involved, making all the jokes while I sat back in the shadows. Everyone was laughing, hanging on to his every word, the time come for my girlfriend to blow out her candles, he was up there helping her and trying to help her open the champagne. It was nothing to do with him! It was all building up inside me.
After a few drinks I was sitting next to him and I was saying something in his ear, he was ignoring me but at the same time tryin to listen to someone else talking, he took hold of my arm an started pushin it up my back, sort of like what the police do. I stood up and just started throwing shots at him, left, right, left right, left right. I don't remember seeing a thing, just the feel of my arms one after the other to his head. My girlfriend was screaming "Michael!" Next minute her dad had me by the neck holdin me over the wooden things in the pub that go around the table and chairs, the balcony sort of thing. I went outside on my own accord after being told to leave and her mum came out screaming in my face. I just said "hit me then, go on, hit me"
She never and her dad took me home in a taxi.
I was crying my eyes out all the way home realising I've wrecked my girlfriends birthday and probably my relationship. I was in a state. I still to this day can't see what I was doing when I was hitting him. Everything seemed to go red. I lost it.
It's still a touchy subject to this day but I feel like if it came up in Convo I would laugh about it and say "ah well, he got what he deserved" to this day, I don't regret what I done, I just regret where I done it.
Tbh we've all been there.........let it go......
