        Hello All,
        Well, today was a very interesting day and charged with some 
unfavorable incidents. My girlfriend and I were out looking for a place 
to eat, when seemingly from out of nowhere, her X pulls up in front of 
me, cuts me off so I can't go forward, and cars were behind so I 
couldn't back up.
        The man then proceeds to get out of his car, runs over and opens 
my door and starts bashing me in the head, screaming about how I took 
her away from him and that if he ever saw me with her again, he'd kill 
me. I'm not a fighter and I have no quarrel with this man, so I just 
tried to keep covered.
        She kept telling him to leave me alone, as did I, and then told 
me she was going to go with him, knowing that might get him to stop. I 
screamed, "Fine, go with him then."
        Well, he wouldn't let up, even after she got out of my car and 
she got in front of my door to try and push it shut and get him out. She 
finally gave up and started running down the street, at which point he 
went after her in his car. I think she went with him. I don't know why. 
This guy has physically abused her in the past.
        Because of traffic, I couldn't catch up. I lost both of them.
        After searching for a couple of minutes, I gave up and went to 
file a police report for A&B. They told me when I got to the station 
that someone had called about the incident and they dispatched a 
cruiser. Too bad they were late.
        The sad part about it all is that the three of us are in the 
program. I've been clean & sober for 4 years, she and her X for about 8 
years. I understand the hurt this guy must feel, but I don't think I 
would ever intentionally harm anyone, let alone anyone in the program.
        This all happened at about 6pm. It is now 4am and I haven't been 
able to get in touch with her and I have not been able to get calm 
enough to sleep.
        Although we have been seeing each other for six months, there 
was a chance that they were going to reconcile and get back together. In 
a way, I kinda think he blew that chance out the door tonight, but I 
don't know.
        For those of you who've had similar situations, please give me 
your insights and opinions, both male and female.
        Thanks,
        Kurt
P.S. I am NOT going to drink over this, though I am very distressed.
