To the guys out their married to a Korean wife. . .Have you ever been in a situation where your wife was publicly disrespected in front of you by another Korean. If so, what did you do or what did she do to defuse the situation? I guess dating folks can chime in as well.

Thanks for shared stories and input.

I guess it would depend on your religion, if you have one. Ideally you'll be a Christian, then you can do whatever you like: an eye for an eye, or ask him to hit your other cheek.

Every situation would be different. My reaction would range from walking away to going beserker.

I would combine all four of the above suggestions.
I would smash him with a brick, in the eye and then in his cheek, while singing the 'Berserker' song from 'Clerks.' I'd croon to my sweetie, as she looked on aghast (but proud)...
"My luv for u is like a truck: Berserker!
Do you want to make like f***: Berserker!" and so on.
Then I'd walk put the body in a pc bang and walk away.

Or, if there was no brick around, I guess I'd just get into a shouting match with the guy and try to get out of there before I did anything illegal.
Happily it hasn't come up yet for me, but it probably will.

It's never happened. If it does happen, see the second part of Eamos post. In addition, see above post.

Better yet,



OK, so in Korea...I only have access to the shovel, but it'll do the job.

What would you do back home if some dude disrespected her?
Why would it be any different here?

Situations like that were part of my motivation to learn Korean.

I have a married friend who's wife says she's not Korean and calls them an idiot in English.
Or just laugh in the guys face and gesture that he has a small *beep*. Laughing

Violence should be a last resort.

What does "disrespected" mean? He didnt offer her a chair in a restaurant, or he pushed her in public? What I would do would depend on how she was disrespected. Confused

From the simple rude comments directed towards a spouse for their choice in mate, to the physical grabbing of your spouse. Honestly, I consider myself lucky in that nothing has happened to me other than when I have been by myself (a few minor things in two years). But I have heard stories, and sometimes it just makes me wonder "WTF would I do if she was here and involved?" Example, a foreigner getting into a cab with a gf or spouse and some Korean men take it upon themselves to protect the girl from the "evil" foreigner by not allowing him to get into the cab with her. All the comments I have read, and I can't say some of the same thoughts wouldn't go through my head, even if I consider myself a peaceful person. If someone wants to be an ass to me, I am perfectly capable of ignoring it to a point.

I guess I was just curious more if any married guys had been in situations before and were you able to defuse it before things got out of hand? A situation happened last weekend, and I guess it still bothers me. I am leaving a place with co-workers and some drunk "falls" into me (and I don't believe it was pure accidental), and I guess he decided it was time for an English lesson. He grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go until I pulled my hand away. I walked on about my business down to a spot to wait on my wife to pick me up. He follows me, sits down two feet away and starts with the stare down and Korean jaw-flapping. Fine, ignore it. . .whatever, not like I could understand half of it anways other than a few bad words. His friends were nice and tried to get him to leave me alone with no success. He finally left when my boss and co-worker came down. Still it bothered me enough to wonder if I should just text my wife to go back home and I would take a cab. I seriously don't know what I would do if my wife was treated like shit in front of me, because of me.

While some of the comments gave me a good laugh, it was a serious question. Just thought I would get some peace of mind by asking.

Anyways, thanks.
