My Bloody Valentine

At the moment, I am at work.

Tonight was "Valentine's Night" at the hotel where I work.

For a set fee, couples could wine and dine their loved ones, whilst listening to harpsichord music. They could sup champagne and toast their love for each other. 

Technically, it should have been an extremely easy night because really, what is easier than love, right?

Therefore, if any one of you could explain to me why I have just had to pull a bloke off of his girlfriend, whom he was hitting whilst she screamed for help, or why not one person from the adjoining rooms rang for help, I would be most grateful.

Seriously people - not fucking cool.

Should you know of anyone who maybe suffering from domestic violence, you can find the Women's Aid web page here.

It is recommended that women who may need to use this website learn how to cover their tracks online, which you can read more about here, but you should note that it is recommended in cases where an individual is being abused that they access information from a safe space such as a local library that has web access, an internet cafe, a friend's house, a SureStart centre.

You should note that it is not your fault, it is sadly more common than you think, and that you do not deserve it.

Please stay safe, and help those whom you know or think may need it.

Happy Valentine's Day.
