My girlfriend(24F) said she’s never been more attracted to someone after I(25M) was beaten up defending a woman

I(25m) wasn’t sure where else to post this, so i figured I’d ask for advice here. I don’t even know what to make of this, but last weekend a friend and i stopped at a gas station to get some late night food after a night of drinking. While we were inside a clearly drunk guy walked in and started hitting on two women, both of whom were clearly uncomfortable. One of them had pulled out her phone, so I figures she was going to call the police. Anyway, long story short the very drunk guy smacked one of the women across the face right in front of me, and I proceed to beat the shit out of him. My friend is absolutely terrified because he recognizes the guy as a more experienced amateur boxer than i am. <br><br>I’ve done boxing for years, but I never had any intention of going pro. I was in great shape though, so I had an absolute field day on the drunk guy. I dislocated both of his shoulders and sent him to the hospital in critical condition. The police showed up after he was taken away in an ambulance and the woman who had been hit filed a report. They said they wouldn’t prosecute me, but if the guy wants to press charges I could be in trouble. The whole thing is absolutely insane.<br><br>Anyway, back to my girlfriend. She got home while I was still cleaning my wounds and she was absolutely outraged. She asked if I had gotten license plate information, because she wanted to use it to get the drunk guy fired. I thought this was ridiculous, but she looked up the guy’s name (which the police had given me) and had located his linked in and instagram. She found out where he worked and posted on the company’s facebook page with a screenshot of his public instagram post from that night (which was before he got to the gas station). The post read “tonights the night. I’m gonna go fuck some bitches.” <br><br>I was shocked, but very pleased that she went through with that. She also posted on his employer’s facebook page. And she got him fired. She was gloating about it for a while, and then she told me how proud she was of me for defending the women. She said she had never been more attracted to me than she was in that moment. I am still absolutely floored that she was able to get the guy fired, and while it absolutely makes me proud of her, it didn’t make me particularly attracted to her. I don’t really know how to feel about this, because I know she’s not in the wrong, but I kind of feel slighted. I was the one who was beaten up, and she’s the one who seems to be getting the praise.<br><br>What should I do? I don’t want to sound like a whiny bitch, because I know I’m not in the wrong here. This whole thing just feels very dehumanizing. The guy who got his ass kicked is getting praised while the woman who got the guy fired is getting all the attention. I just don’t even know what to make of this. Am I in the wrong? Let me know if you need any more info.<br><br>EDIT: first, thank you all so much for the kind words. Second, this is all I know about the attacker: he’s 31, works as a manager at a restaurant, and is now (thanks to my amazing girlfriend) looking for a job. Oh, and he’s absolutely useless with his hands and needs to carry a weapon because he can’t protect himself.<br><br>I should add that I was hospitalized for my injuries, and she hasn’t left my side since she got to the hospital. I understand why you all are offended that she’s more attracted to me now, but she’s been nothing but amazing since this happened. She’s done nothing but help me and give me the assurance that everything is going to be okay. And honestly, I feel absolutely bad for the guy. I broke his nose, dislocated both of his shoulders, and sent him to the hospital in serious condition. Like I said earlier, I’m glad she got him fired. But more than anything, I’m glad she was there to hold me while I cried.<br><br>And to the people who say I should have let it go, the guy smacked a woman across the face RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. There was no way I could have let it go. Maybe that’s the red blooded American in me talking, but I just couldn’t have lived with myself if I had let that go unpunished. <br><br>And finally, I’m not religious, but I know that this was somehow karmic. If it wasn’t for my girlfriend, this would be an unmitigated disaster. Instead, she’s gotten the guy fired and she’s been taking care of me while I recover. Also, I’ve never felt this kind of relationship before, but we’ve both been through something that we can never forget. Our love has been tested by blood, and it’s only gotten stronger.
