Views on boyfriends protecting their girlfriends for the wrong reasons
I was riding my pmd one night on the shared path on the bicycle side (the red color concrete) with my lights on.
There was this couple who suddenly dashed out, which caused me to nearly hit the gf. That gave me a shock. As I reach the traffic light junction, the light just turned red so I couldn’t go. As such, that gave the couple time to catch up to me. When they did, the bf then came up to me and shouted at me to watch out next time and it a very rude tone. Mind you, I have been feeling super depressed lately and this is the last thing I need. This then makes me wonder…
1. Why does the bf have to confront me when it was the gf who I nearly got into an accident with? Can’t she not protect herself?
2. Who was in the wrong? Me or the couple?
Much input is most appreciated, tia!
Here are what netizens think:
- it’s ok lah…doesn’t matter who is wrong, as long as you get back safely and bring food to the table that’s the key point…everyone has a bad day sometimes…just chill and settle what is more important in life
- Many people don’t know that the red bicycle path give rights to cycle faster up to 25km/hr, actually it’s dangerous to walk on it, news should educate public more on it. However as a pmd rider / cyclist, it’s our role to slow down when there are people nearby to anticipate possible danger too.
- Both are wrong. They never see u n dash out. However, u also never stop in time. Shared path. Why u ride till u cannot stop in time till u almost knock into the gf? N did u even stop n apologize? If yes, why need to catch up with u? Just saying.
- He’s wrong, he’s being macho in front of his GF, there is only one solution to deal with people like this, unfortunately, it would result in police involvement, such that you just have to ignore and walk away.
