OK I am from england, so maybe this is a cultural thing, I want to know for sure anyhow. When I am at bars with my girlfriend guys sit beside her and put their arms around her, sometimes rubbing her back up and down. This really angers me as she does nothing to stop them. me and her have argued badly a couple of times about this. She is a french speaker from montreal and insists that this is just how montreal guys are, they are just friendly. I say to her so you wont mind me doing that with some girl and ofcourse she goes mad at that idea. Where the hell do guys get off anyhow in florida and montreal, when they can see the girl is with another man. In england someone could end up hospitalised for this behaviour and it makes me even angrier than my girl seems to think its normal. What should i do next time? Should i dump her for thinking this is OK as i find it totally disrespectful to me and her. Id like to get an opinion from a french speaker from montreal especially.

I'm from Montreal, and I've spent time in England so I have seen both perspectives. In Montreal people are more touchy-feely, but that sounds like they are pushing it. Unless they're friends of your girl in which case that's normal... I must say I have never exprienced that however.
But let me put it this way. If any guy did that to my girl he had better back off VERY quickly once I made my view known. Your girlfriend sounds a bit friendlier than normal, even by montreal standards...

If she's ok with it, it's just between you and her. I think that generally yes, Montrealers are more likely to touch, and are more likely to notice the encouragement (from her) than the discouragement (from you). Since it really does bother you, and she doesn't seem to care, you may have to dump her. But I think it wouldn't be a bad idea first to try touching other girls and let her know how it feels.

I am from Montreal and trust me I don't let any man put there hands on me (especially because i have a boyfriend) and if they are it's definitely flirting and you are giving the a guy the wrong impression if you don't tell them to stop.This is not a culture thing its flirting and your girlfriend should not be letting them do that when she has a boyfriend to do that.

Knock em out..but you have to take your hockey gloves off and then pull their jersey over there heads and then continue to batter them:) Your girl should say non to them....there are creeps everywhere there...they all think that because they have their silly accent they can get all the girls...eh.

It sounds to me like she is just making an excuse to flirt with other men. And she expects you to be a perfect gentleman? It shows a total lack of respect, and it is unacceptable behavior anywhere you go.

NO WAY is it acceptable, because they are from Montreal is no different. Anyman who puts his hands on my wife and starts rubbing her is a DEAD man. Especially if he is French!!

I've spent enough time in Montréal without that happening that I have to wonder what she's doing. How does she dress, act, what does she say to them?
Sorry; not good.

There is no way that it is acceptable anywhere. That is just a total luck of respect man.
I feel for you.
