Did he abuse me or did I drag it on?

Why did you keep pushing him, what reaction were you trying to get?

sorry, but this isn't abuse. He asked you repeatedly to move and you didn't, so he quite rightly shoved you. It's right to question yes, but lets just remember that because he's a male every little thing shouldn't be looked at as "abusive". This whole comment just shows me that you were being annoying and provoking him. And by that I mean in no way that we should victim blame or justify abusive actions, but this wasn't a case on abuse. The same way if a stranger doesn't move out of my way on a bus after asking them to move several times, I'll push them. Would we every call that abuse? 😶

No we wouldn’t.
Thank you so much for your answer. I will apologise to him for the way I was being annoying and not letting him pass. I want to avoid this forever. I was in an abusive relationship which was so toxic and I don’t want this relationship to become like that and be toxic. How do I avoid this next time please and thanks.

You would be charged with assault if you pushed someone on a bus why would a stranger move out of your way weather you asked them or not you cant just bully people to suit yourself

Okay what are you supposed to do if they don't move? stand there until they do?🤡 common curtesy works both ways. And no you wouldn't 😂😂A shove doesn't have to send someone flying to the floor. So you're telling me that I'll get charged with assault for pushing someone out of their way getting off a bus? That's incredibly silly for something that must happen hundreds of thousands of times a day. You would get laughed out a police station

You lay your hand on someone and they report it to the police you will be caught on the CCTV on the bus and you will be charged thats the law the police officer has no say in the matter they have to charge you you can push past someone but dont put your hands on them its written into law

The UK Police force are massively under funded so excuse me for believing that they don't have better use of their time and resources than searching for a common and lets face it, normal part of everyday human interaction such as a push. It may be written into the law but we both know its not taken seriously. If this was the case it would be deemed acceptable for hundreds of "assault" complaints to be filed on a train in the midst of London rush hour on a daily basis...

The police charge people every day where l stay in Scotland its not to much for the police to find people that lift there hands to other people
