girlfriend issue question

[fusi0n]

After 25 minutes.

If you are in a committed relationship, waiting 25 minutes for someone to text you back shouldn't be that big of an issue. Especially knowing she has kid. At the same time, she could have texted you saying she was having a hard time getting her kid going to sleep. But, women. Get used to it.. lol

Also some side notes:

You should have not changed plans after 25 minutes.. if you did not hear from her after 2 hours, you should have went to her house to make sure she was ok (assuming you are in a committed relationship, I can understand if she doesn't want guys around her kid until more time, but yeah this would qualify as a valid reason.)

If she is going crazy and ballistic over this, she sounds like she might be crazy and be careful.

Who cares, typical woman making a mountain out of a mole hill, tell her she didn't respond so you went to the movies, end of.. don't like? bye!

[edit] had a quick glance through the other posts, i wouldn't listen to a single one of them. This guy done nothing wrong, make a stand, don't roll over or you'll be rolling over for the rest of your life, if she doesn't like it and walks away then she isn't the one.it's a trivial argument that shouldn't really escalate.

QFT...

Let me explain how a woman that you are with works. You must be available at all times, at any time, on any whim. You must drop what you are doing, what ever you are doing, to be able to do whatever it is that they are wanting you to do at that moment.

I was doing the brakes on my wifes van, she knew this, I had it up full of dirt and crap from the brakes....she needs something from the grocery store and wants me to go out and grab it. By the time it would take me to stop what I am doing and get cleaned up enough not to muck up my car she could have been there and back. Another time I am doing something for her (again), she asks me to wipe my kids butt so she can continue having a conversation with her mom...again in the middle of crap. This is just a couple of recent times, but this will continue until all men are dead. If you have a problem with any of this, don't have a serious relationship with any woman as they all get to this point (in my experience anyway, my inlaws all do this wether they are directly related to my wife or not). When you decide to move in, video games will be a thing of the past unless she likes video games as anything that she does will require you to drop your video game and it will happen each and every time you pick up your controller.

Only if she's a selfish b****. I'm reading all this astonished. Now I know why it's so hard to be open and laid-back with men, they are always accusing me of playing mind games and such when I am not. Assuming I am angry when I'm not. I'm constantly bewildered by guys acting all defensive and flinchy the second any sort of conflict comes up... they must be used to this sort of behaviour... but some of us know how to handle our emotions in a healthy way and treat others with kindness and respect.

I know some of you have bad experiences, but don't tar all women with the same brush. Try not to be so bitter. Be open and honest and kind and look for a partner who is the same sort of person. There are bad men out there too. By your logic, all men are abusive rapists too, right? >.<

Just one thought that kind of close the thread based on the OP 1st post: You can pause a ****ing movie (or even download/rent/whatever it again) but not a relationship. Unless you guys were in a fight or something, you should see her.. After all, if you like a movie better than her, just dump her

Doesn't matter who's right or wrong here. She's always right, and that's just the way it is.

Apologize, maybe get her flowers, and then carry on. No reason to make a big deal out of a small issue.

[OOOOOOOO]

Dude, I would have just gone to her house anyway. But then my fianc?e is my best friend too and I wouldn't want to see it without her. Seems to me you're just a little bit inexperienced with girls based on the need to work out if there's some kind of issue here lol.

I feel utterly sorry for anyone who lives a life so pathetically that they fall under the usual "she's always right" BS. I couldn't live my life under someone's thumb like that. My girl and me are 100% equal when it comes to the balance of right and wrong and respect. We never bitch or argue at each other and I can't imagine in my life needing to be the guy who posted on neowin asking for advice on a subject like this. Lol.

If you have to ask strangers on the internet, if it's your fault your girlfriend is mad at you (at age 30), then you have bigger problems....

A guy has to learn that in a hurry if he wants to keep a girl.

again you missed the part that has been obvious to me for ages.. Women think emotionally as men think analytically. I think we men on here can agree to some degree that if a woman is consistently offensive or offended easy.. men won't want to be around them and will move on. we are not afraid of having issues to coming to a compromise mind you, but if there is a pattern and we truly make an effort to meet a woman halfway and she acts like she doesn't have to make an effort.. we men WILL walk. If women can go out and look for a partner that makes them happy, so can men.

no man will allow himself to be burdened with a b----. we can handle once in a while, we are willing to meet halfway but if a broad is constantly putting us on edge... auf wiedersehen!

Alternatively, you could go out with someone who doesn't have another man's kids...

Seeing as my parents divorced and mother remarried, I would like to see where you are going with this...

If you girlfriend was putting her child to bed 25 mins is nothing by the time they have a wash/bath,brush teeth and read a story time flies.Wheras to you who only has yourself to look after, 25 mins is your time to do with as you wish. Just because you or even her txt each other don't expect instant replies not all peeps have phones welded to their thumbs its an unreasonable demand.

If you wish to continue in this relationship you should talk together like adults and come to an agreeable understanding of what each of you wants from the relationship and as a reminder to you that her daughter comes first in her affections.She her daughter, is in need of guidance and guardianship from at least one adult so you need to ask yourself can you fit into this and make a family unit or is it beyond you willingness or capabilities to continue?
