Im dating this person in my school and i have been basically 6 months. Just recently this guy has developed a crush on them and my partners friend said they overheard the guy and his friends talking about my partner calling them “hot” which affects them AND me since its not nice knowing someone else is calling your partner hot. Then apparently they said they were gonna beat me up for some reason entirely unprovoked. Its not happened yet and i prefer to stay out of fights or arguments cuz of past stuff. But now i feel like a pussy because im not standing up for my partner even though im too scared to. Im not popular and stick to my small group of close friends which has my partner in. But now im stressing cuz idk if the threat is real or not which scares me. I dont wanna be beat up or anything but then i dont wanna see someone call MY partner these weird stuff. Anyway thanks for reading random person. (Pls tell me if u have any ideas on how to stop this.)
