I started dating this girl about a month ago. I'm 30 and she's 28. She recently started a new job at a club that I thought was a fairly sophisticated place. I've been there a few times with clients and she is a hostess there four nights a week.
Anyhow, she told me that one of the other hostesses there has been very rude to her since she started. One of the managers told her that this other hostess is very insecure and thinks my girlfriend is a threat to her job. Last week my girlfriend came home from work and said she was verbally harassed by this other hostess and told to watch her step or she would be sorry she ever took this job.
I started to worry even more when Monday night she came home and her shirt was ripped at the pocket and a button was torn off. She said that the other hostess started an argument with her that turned into a shoving match and before the manager broke them up the other girl tore my girlfriend's shirt. I advised her to quit because now it's physical threats and the job isn't worth it. But my girlfriend does not like to back down when she thinks she is right.
Last night, Thursday, was the worst yet. My girlfriend came home from work crying and walked in the door with her hands covering her face. She had blood on her upper lip that had trickled out of her nose, a swollen lower lip, and a deep red "mouse" under her left eye. I wanted to call the cops but she said no, that she has the next three days off and then she will decide whether to go back and confront "the bitch." We put some ice on her face but when she woke up this morning she was sporting a nice black shiner.
I'm really worried that if she goes back to this job that she will get seriously beaten up and hurt but she also has her pride. What can I do?
