Hi. How normal is it to threaten to kill your girlfriend?

A friend thinks it is very normal, and seems to thing that actually killing your girlfriend is not that unusual.... but I think it is quite weird.

Any advice would be appreciated as im really confused?

It's normal for dangerous and abnormal people to threaten to kill their partners, let's put it that way.

Tell his girlfriend so she can get help before he actually carries out what he told you. He should be turned into the police - it could be a real threat.

What did your girlfriend do that caused you to threaten her?

I, myself, don't think it's "normal." I think it's troubling.

Threatening to kill anyone is not ok! If you or the girlfriend are threatened by him you should really tell someone, maybe even the police.

Nobody should be scared of someone potentially killing them

His friend said this not him.

Statistically it is rare. There were about 515 homicides in 2015, only some of them were domestic.

That is aprox 0.002% of households.

Threatening to kill is abnormal. You need to lose this 'friend' of yours before he gets you arrested as an accessory to murder.

Is your friend actually threatening to kill her? Or was just a random hypothetical?

Did your friend actually threaten to kill his girlfriend?

Or are you talking in hypotheticals?

thanks for the replies everyone. My friend did threaten to kill his girlfriend, yes. I threatened to kill my girlfriend and terrified her, but forced her to leave me shortly after even thought she wanted me back.

Thanks for confirming it isn't normal.

Wth? You did too? You and your friend should stay single and forget about women.

Another reason for me to stay single and come home to Waldo.

It's worse than abnormal; it's a crime.
