He And His Wife Got Robbed While On A Date And Were Forced To Hand Over Their Wallets And Clothes, But She’s Angry That He Didn’t “Stand Up For Her”
This 33-year-old man and his wife, who is 30, recently went out for a date night on the town– which was exciting because they don’t get out much lately.
Everything went great, too, and they had a few drinks before deciding to walk home.
“We only live a few blocks from the restaurant we were at and never had any issues in the past. We live in a somewhat nice upper-middle-class area,” he explained.
That’s why they decided to cut through the park in hopes of having a nice romantic evening walk. But tragedy struck when their leisurely stroll turned into a robbery.
Shortly into their walk, he and his wife were suddenly approached by two guys who presented what they believed were guns. Then, the guys began demanding that he and his wife hand over their wallets and phones.
Obviously, they were both extremely caught off guard and began freaking out. So, they just handed all of their belongings over.
But rather than the guys leaving after that, they only became more heated. In fact, the guys even started demanding that he and his wife take off their clothes!
“Now, I’m starting to panic, obviously, but what the [heck] am I going to do against a gun?” he recalled.
Since he had no clue what to do, he simply looked at his wife and started to take his shirt off. His wife looked back a bit hesitantly before proceeding to do the same.

That eventually left him and his wife just standing there, wearing nothing but their underwear. At the same time, the guys finally took off.
Thankfully, they were able to flag down a passing car and get in touch with the police. The authorities then gave him and his wife something to cover themselves up while they filed a police report, but he claimed it didn’t really seem like a big deal to the cops.
“The cops were cold and really seemed not to care,” he revealed. “We assumed nothing would come of it.”
Well, the very next day, he noticed that his wife kept refusing to talk about the incident. He obviously took this to mean that she was upset about what happened, and he just gave her some space.
Then, just yesterday, his wife finally confronted him. Apparently, she was furious that he did not “protect her” against the robbers, and this caused a massive argument.
“But what am I supposed to do, fight two armed men to save us from walking down the street in our underwear and losing some cash?” he vented.
He genuinely doesn’t know what else his wife expected him to do in that situation. Nonetheless, with her still angry at him, he’s been left wondering whether not “standing up” for his wife was the wrong thing to do.
Can you understand why he didn’t want to potentially risk their lives for their clothes and wallets? Why do you think his wife is really angry at him? Might she just be reacting this way because she’s trying to cope with what happened?
