So long story short - I was with my Gf at the club and when we were on our way out, a guy was walking past me, being all pushy and rude. I looked him dead in the eyes doing nothing, just staring. He then shoved his hands and I responded quickly and forcibly and threw him on the ground, other guard grabbed me and they both "escorted" me out. And I received a fine punch in the head, nothing much but it counted. As soon as I realizied he was a guard I knew I was screwed, so I didn't respond any further so the situation doesn't escalate. My Gf was screaming and pushing him, now I wonder how this all played in her head. Was I pussy for taking a punch, for not beating the shit out of him when he was on the ground, etc.

The whole time she cried saying she was scared something might happen to me. This tells me I didn't look like a man enough to protect her. I don't know. Did I do wrong?
