I forget about the people on this app, and how they can't tell accidents from abuse.

It's funny how everyone on this site thinks people should break up with their boyfriends/girlfriends over every little thing.

#1, read your own username. Read your comment. Now back to your username.

ya seriously break up with him because he did not want a hickie! I don't blame him if he is on a swim team. he is representing a school, or whatever team he is swimming for. God forbid!!

I realized I misread after commenting and it was too late to edit.

57- Seriously..I used to swim.. Happened to me once before a meet. Teammates gave me a ton of shit and my coach got pretty pissed for some reason. :

You shouldn't have been such a leech......pfft!

No turning back now...the damage is done my friend.

Other girlfriend? Way to jump to conclusions #134, I sincerely doubt that's the case.

13 -- Every little thing? While I'd often agree with you on that, this dude dislocated her jaw. That is a big deal.

She should break up with him. I don't care that it was an accident. That he pushed or hit her with enough force to dislocate her jaw is inexcusable. It was excessive, unnecessary,and he should be held accountable for it. End of story.

How shallow could you be without knowing the whole situation?

read yours.

Kids can be cruel

Ridiculously insecure! One my ex's had a little "problem" with sucking on my neck, and the hickey would look more like a giant bruise 3 inches long, 3 inches wide. I sported that shit like a battle scar, haha. If your boyfriend gives hickeys, he better be ready to deal with one on his own body as well. ****, it wasn't even noticeable unless he had his shirt off.

It's not like he has shirt off all the time. He is only on the swim team

"Today, my girlfriend tried to give me a hickey and I accidentally dislocated her jaw, no blow jobs for me FML.

that's a bit rash of an assumption. Hickeys aren't very flattering and I don't like walking around with them myself. I hope you won't get all paranoid now, OP.

Most guys walk around showing off their hickeys... Especially if it's in a locker room full of other guys. Most guys only hide hickeys from their moms or from their "other girlfriend."

How about the fact that in order to cause any damage at all OP would have to be latched on tighter than a tick refusing to let go. That level of force necessary to mark her territory speaks only of her abusive and controlling nature.

I know exactly where you're coming from. the only time my baby's daddy was ever worried about me giving him a hockey was when he was cheating on me with his "other girlfriend".

I'm with klorehore. Maybe in high school and earlier guys show off their hickeys, but once you grow up you realize it's a pretty stupid thing to walk around gloating about. He probably should've used words instead of pushing her away, but I can see why he wouldn't want one.

How is it fair though, for him to give her a hickey but not to allow her to give him a hickey? He shouldn't have given her one in the first place if he was going to freak out at the idea of getting one himself.

You're correct 59

#58 I gotta ask where you get that knowledge from? Because for me in college football and baseball and now in rugby as an adult dudes still show off their love bites. Im talking 43 year old men who are happily married coming in being like "yeah me and wifey had a great one this weekend!! Check these out!" A locker room is a much different world from work or everyday life. You can try to hide hickeys from your teammates but it's much better to embrace it, show it off, and ask why they don't have any.

Well at 43 it's so rare that you're getting any, of course you're going to show it off! Haha idk man maybe it's just the relationship me and my friends have but none of us go around bragging about a hickey. If we get laid, yea. But a hickey? Nah

He should be showing it off with pride! It's not 4th grade cooties anymore

59, she isn't likely to be walking around in public with her breast out, but as a male swimmer he will have to be at practices and competitions with his hickey showing. Hickeys are immature and people often judge you for having them.

I have a strict no hickeys around the neck rule because I'll get in trouble at work, and I once gave my boyfriend three or four on his neck (he reaaaaaally enjoys them) and he got a ton of (not necessarily bad) crap from his own coworkers, friends, family, etc. It may just be because it looks unprofessional, though I think that if anything his swim team buddies would be more like the type to be happy that he's getting some. Hopefully it's just because he may have had a bad experience in the past (such as being ridiculed for it) and not it being another girl. I am curious how one would give a guy a hickey on his chest unless there is substantial meat there. My boyfriend is skinny and I have difficulty even getting a good grip on his neck. I'll have to try it out sometime. :P But he and I have a mutual understanding that visible hickeys are bad, despite us both being teens and me still being in high school (he's only a year ahead of me, don't worry).

It really does, if he asked her to stop she should have.

No women should try to force a guy to submit to something he doesn't want so that he has to struggle to get away. There fixed.

Your body is your own. If you enjoy it, get it. People need to mind their own damn business.

Her abusive and controlling nature? He already marked her, and does not wish to be marked himself it sounds more like he is the controlling one especially considering he caused an unwarranted amount physical harm to his girlfriend when a simple stop would have sufficed.

Right? Lol wimp

Girls wear bras. Guys don't, people could actually see his.

I don't know about you guys but I cover my hickeys up.

probably because they're gross lol just my opinion but its really trashy to show them off. no one needs to know what you're into in the bedroom.

@77 It's not showing it off you dummy. Showing it off is like "hey look at me and my hickey!" while pointing at his chest. If anything a hickey being spotted like others have said, means he is most likely getting some action.

Not too mention they just feel neat to receive.

but that's still showing it off.. I'd be embarrassed if I had one and everyone could see it.

It doesn't say he hit her. I do not think he would hit her, especially over something like that. He probably just pulled her off. Don't jump to conclusions or accusations.

Unless she comes at him with a knife, a gun....a cut out of Justin Bieber captioned "Do it for the Vine."

Go #12!! That comment is sexist af. Down with chivalry

#12 finally! Someone with a brain!

#12 I'm so glad you said that, I absolutely despise women who think's it's ok to hit guys, but would be the first to scream abuse if a guy hit her. As far as i'm concerned 'if you can't take it don't dish it out' applies in more than one context. If i'm gonna go as far as to hit a guy I damn well better accept that he's within rights to retaliate, whether or not he would. Categorizing 'abuse' should go both ways.

#9 you are an idiot. this is the very thing that annoys the hell out of me when it comes to women's rights. woman in the work place wants equal pay and opportunities, same woman that night expects her date to pay for everything. why shouldnt a guy hit a girl. If I hit my boyfriend for any reason other than him endangering my kids or myself, then I sure as hell would be expecting him to hit me back. there is no right reason to hit someone, except defense and that goes for men and women.

If a girl is beating up a guy, is he expected to just stand there and take it? Heck no! I think no one should hit anyone. Or anyone can hit anyone. And on dates I always offer to pay my own way. I don't like girls expecting to be paid for.

9, he probably pushed her off from the jaw. If he's a swimmer he's probably strong. Haven't you seen how broad their shoulders are and how strong their arms look!?

In my opinion, either split the bill or the person who asks the other out pays for the date. And fun fact, men paying because tradition cause women weren't allowed to have wallets. Not common courtesy or chivalry. So that's not an excuse anymore :)

Calm down Satan.
