Last night I (F26) was selling shirts at a concert. On my way to the car, I passed by a couple fighting. At first I didn’t think much of it until I saw the girl crying and yelling “leave me alone” to her partner. Like, full-on sobbing. I got closer and asked, “Are you okay?”
That’s when I realized it was a lesbian couple, the masc one was yelling at her, being aggressive, and saying horrible shit to her.
And then the masc turned her anger to me. Started insulting me. Called me homeless. Spit on the ground in my direction.
I told her, “You’re a girl. She’s a girl too. Treat her better.”
And she LOST it.
But I didn’t leave.
The femme girl clung to my arm. She was crying, saying sorry, and I just kept repeating “You’re okay. I got you. It’s okay.”
Then some other girls walked by, saw what was going on, and started going OFF on the masc one. There was a fight like actual punches. I stayed by the crying girl and kept talking to her.
She called her brother. The police came. I stayed until she was safe.
One of the girls who helped told me, “Thank you for standing by her. That was really cool.”
We talked. She asked for my IG. Called me cute like 10 times. Gave me three hugs.
I guess that was nice. But honestly, I can’t stop thinking about the girl who was crying.
I can’t stop thinking about how fucking unfair it is that someone like that (reckless, disrespectful, controlling) has a girl that pretty, that soft, that fragile.
She deserved to be loved. Not humiliated.
And yeah, maybe I was jealous.
Because I would’ve protected her.
I wouldn’t have made her cry like that.
I don’t know.
I didn’t get her number. Didn’t ask for anything.
I just didn’t want to leave her alone.
I hope she’s okay.
I hope she left her.
And I hope, even if just for a moment, she felt safe with me.

Wow ur a nice guy man
It’s stuff like what OP did that says there might be some hope left for humanity.
I really hope the girl you helped realizes that she needs to get out of that situation permanently.
Congrats on hopefully making a new friend through all of that, too! 🙂
Fuck yeah this is the feel good shit I like to see in regards to sisterhoods and brotherhoods.
(32M).
You did good by her and I hope she gets the help she needs to escape from that toxicity.
Be glad you did what you could. Many others would have walked on by, it speaks to your character a lot that you did not simply walk on by.
lots of love to you! thank you for doing that!
I think she definitely felt safe with you! That was really nice what you did ❤️
Nah this a dub fr girl. I woulda been right there with you.
Ya did a great thing there 🥹
Thank you. I have a daughter, a couple of bonus daughters, and a granddaughter. It comforts me to know that there are people out there looking out for them. This world needs anonymous helpers so much.
The you’re a girl she’s a girl sends me a bit
I read and have experienced some bad things from men. But I remind myself that we never hear about the majority of noble men. I needed to read this.
I’m a 30y/o chunky, married dude who’s been going to concerts and festivals forever with the same female friend and have become friends with her friends. Hell I just went to a Bluegrass festival without my wife and camped with those girls who called it girl camp+ my name. All of these females know if they have an issue at a show they can’t handle themselves to find me. I would have been terrified of trying to do something if I realized it was between 2 women. Great job being aware enough that you helped another human being in need,making sure she was ok! As for her girlfriend, she sounds like a pig and good riddance.
shit I want OPs insta too 🤭
Good on you for your intervention. You’re definitely helping people, but I think you just walked into an already loaded situation.
Without more details about the couple, we shouldn’t make judgements about people’s value. Maybe one of them was cheating or spent their rainy day fund on drugs. We can never really know what’s going on in a strangers life.
Your compassion in that moment was nothing short of heroic. You saw someone in pain and chose to stay despite the hostility because you recognized her humanity and vulnerability. That courage and kindness can change everything for someone who feels trapped and alone. It’s natural to feel protective and even a bit jealous; it speaks to your big heart and your fierce desire to keep her safe. You didn’t need a thank-you or a reward your presence was the safety she needed. Never underestimate the power of simply staying with someone and letting them know they’re not alone. You did amazing.
good of you to help, but let’s not hit on people while they’re being assaulted.
Thank you OP for helping her. Thats a good deed, and I hope she realizes that her gf isn’t good for her.
You really just mended my heart a little girl 🥹❤️
> Called me cute
👀
Yeah, that would be inappropriate timing
You did the right thing and you’re one of the Good Ones…….you deserve all the upvote and praise. The world doesn’t deserve you, but it definitely NEEDS you! 🙂
This sounds like a man trying to write a story about lesbian characters from a woman’s point of view.
“The masc” raging out of control, “the femme” so soft and fragile clinging onto her saviors arm, the white knights (vagina edition) rolling in to physically beat “the masc” down, and a bystander literally throwing themselves and their contact info at the female hero of the story.
A hero so selfless that she didn’t even ask the victim of a domestic violence incident for her phone number! Which is too bad because if this tiny fragile girl was with the female hero then she would always be protected and would never be made to cry.
If I remember the statistics correctly aren’t lesbian couples more prone DV against each other or is that sexual abuse/violence.
I’ve been in this situation with multiple partners, as embarrassing as that is to admit.
The last time it happened in public everyone just stared and walked by me. The person I “loved” was saying things to me to absolutely break me, being physical with me, stole my phone. And people just watched. I begged people passing by to call security. No one ever came to help.
That girl will never forget you. You gave her humanity back to her at a time where she was being treated as less than human. Thank you for helping her.
Not all heros wear capes thats for sure
