Could you continue to respect and stay with your dh/so...... - Page 3

I know dh wouldn't be like that because he is a trained officer so he is trained to keep his head calm under that type of pressure. In fact he said he would most likely push us out then take out the shooter. He conceal carries sometimes and he said even if the person wears a vest he would still shoot for the chest to break a few ribs and knock them on their ass. In situations like this its nice to know he knows what to do and how to do it so this what if situation wouldn't happen to us.
 

I have to agree with Starlight on this one.

He lost his 4 month old somewhere in the theater and just left. I don't care how stressed he was, that's just cowardly. He was more concerned with his own safety, than the safety of his child. He was scared? What the hell did he think his 4 month old was going through? I have zero sympathy for this guy. You protect your children no matter how scared you are.

 

There is no way in hell my dh would ever leave us in that kind of situation. He would be running around that theater doing everything he could to find us.

My DH would become an ex very soon if that happened to me!  I understand what Starlite is saying, but I from just the short story I've read, I'm going to have to call this guy a coward!

I am torn on this one, I was thinking something along the lines of what Starlight said too.  That fight of flight reaction.  It could be he just panicked and wasn't think straight.  Do I think my DH would do that?  No, I think he would have done everything in his power to keep us (me and the kids) safe.  But like Starlight said, we can all sit here and say what we think our DH's would do, but we don't really know.

I understand being fearful and in a moment like that who knows what any of us would do but if my husband had done such a thing, even if he apologized and we attempted to work through it, I cannot I agine ever being turned on sexual by this man. There will we be, getting the engines revved up and then, "Hey, hon, remember the time we were getting shot at, and then you dropped and lost our baby, and then you escaped and you were so worried about me and the kids, you jumped in the car and drove across the street and attempted to call me?".

What a mood killer. We would never have sex again.

Interesting reading an article like that one then I just came upon this one and had to share...what a difference.

He** yes I would think less of him!!  That's like George from Seinfeld at the birthday party where he's running over kids and knocking over old ladies because of a hamburger grease fire!  I just can't imagine dh doing what that guy did.

These are the stories I had heard about.  And I believe most people would react this way.

 

My first instinct would be to protect my family, not to run away.  This guy was a coward plain and simple.  Yes, I understand fear; but did he not have fear of losing his family?
