The clip, a grim reminder of emotional abuse inside relationships, rapidly caught the attention of people all over social media, with many pointing out how this type of behavior wouldn’t be tolerated if the roles were reversed.
“You dumb motherf****! Because of you. Like, literally, because of you. You are the rudest, most worthless person I’ve ever met in my life,” the woman shouted. Bystanders immediately took notice and reacted in a variety of ways – some shocked, some in horror, and others seemed to reach out to security in the distance.
The girlfriend then screamed at one of them, “You better mind your own business. Walk the f**k away,” and she turned her attention back to the man, only to scream at the top of her lungs. “I hate you!”
As more people took notice, her insults became progressively more vicious and louder

At this point, a bystander started laughing in disbelief at the meltdown. “You’re a f**king weird person. This is not funny,” she responded to the person off-camera while her boyfriend stared at the floor in embarrassment.
Far from being deterred by the interaction, the woman resumed her abuse with increased intensity. “You’re a loser. You’re a loser!” She then let out an ear-piercing screech.

Seeing the situation continue to escalate, security finally made a move and approached the boyfriend. “Sorry, we’re just really stressed,” he said calmly before picking up his bag and moving away from the woman to talk to two other guards.

“Imagine the situation reversed? – either way, it’s not acceptable. When someone behaves like a child, screaming & repeating themselves, it’s a terrible sign,” pondered one commenter.

Pointing out the fact that some bystanders started to laugh, one user said, “It’s a woman being abusive to a man, so of course, it’s funny. Now, reverse the roles, and I guarantee no one’s laughing. Bystanders, both women and men, will step in to protect the woman.”

“Security would have pounced on him,” affirmed another, believing the public reception would’ve been much harsher if the abuser was the boyfriend instead.

Domestic violence against men is much more prevalent than it may appear. According to the UK’s Office for National Statistics, one in three victims of domestic abuse are male, with more than 750,000 cases, compared to 1.38 million female cases. This ratio remains consistent even when only partner abuse cases are considered, with more than 480,000 male cases versus 960,000 female cases.
ManKind Initiative, a UK-based charity dedicated to helping men escape domestic abuse, revealed that more than half of the victims never seek help and that, of those who do, 64% would’ve never called if the helpline wasn’t anonymous.

Cases like the one shown in the video serve as a stark illustration of emotional abuse within relationships. Netizens were quick to condemn the behavior, with many deeming it unacceptable, regardless of the gender of the abuser.
A user on Reddit shared his own experience with abuse. “Been there too. A marriage of 17 years. She was angry, a screamer, never at fault for anything, I was a bum and a loser. It took going to a men’s counseling group for me to realize how abusive she was. Traveling with her was a nightmare.” He said, leaving others with a final recommendation: “Men, if it seems like she’s nuts and psychotic, she is.”
She’s having a bad day @ FLL.

After watching the clip, netizens urged the boyfriend to leave the relationship as soon as possible
Disgusting behaviour, that man needed help and people just laughed at the situation.
Honestly, I probably would have laughed too because I naturally respond that way to WTF situations. But I also would have stepped and tried to help the man. I grew up with a verbally abusive father. I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone.

Yes, and sometimes reminding people that men are also abused is a "good" thing so it doesn't keep being quietly swept away.
