Which of these two versions of the text do you think is better? The one with the past simple or with the past continuous?
- I recently came across a video on YouTube where a guy caught his girlfriend cheating on him. She fell on her knees and started begging him and grabbing his legs so he wouldn't leave. He forcefully tried(was trying?) to get out and leave. What surprised me was that for some reason I sympathised with the girl, and resented the fact that he was resisting and trying to get out. And now I realised it. I picked the wrong side because of the way she was apologising, I just wouldn't be able to resist.
