I F'ed up probably the best thing that has ever happened to me

    I am not one for drama, and not one for posting my love life on the BBS. But I f'ed up in a big way Monday with my girlfriend of a year.

    We've been ring shopping, picked out the right one even. We've made plans to live together soon, just before we start all the wedding plans. I have never loved anyone like I love this woman. She is truly the best thing to ever come into my life. And I know she loves me.

    But we've had our share of disagreements, and a few (4 to be precise) pretty bad fights. Two of them, we actually decided to split up, but that only lasted a short while, not even a day, and we always ended up laughing about it later.

    Well, this time, without getting into too much detail, we had a small incident happen at my cookout Monday. She had dropped a couple of glasses in my kitchen. I asked her if they broke (I really didn't care that much), and she said no. I asked her if they dropped on the wood floor, and she refused to answer. After that, she proceeded to patronize me in front of some friends about it. Again, no big deal, we were having a fun day...whatever!!

    Well, later on (I had already forgotten about the subject), she comes over to me and asks me if I am irritated about the glasses. I said no, I was irritated that she would not answer my simple question. So then, she says, "Well then I am definitely not going to answer your question now that I know it's irritating you."

    At that point, I had to take a break, went out front, sat on my tailgate. And thought to myself about how she is very adamant about respecting her things, and her house, etc. You see where I am going.....

    So when everyone cleared out, I asked her why she purposely tried to make me mad. She said she was offended about me asking if they had fallen on the wood floor...I should know that she would be concerned enough to tell me if it did happen.

    Soooooooooo, she runs into my bedroom, and decides it was time to walk out on me....and leave the discussion on bad terms, something we had promised never to do again to each other.

    So here's where I really screwed up......I told her to leave, and never come back. Pure emotion made me say that. I didn't mean it, and called her soon after to let her know. We had a decent talk, and I went to bed feeling much better. But yesterday, she decided she was done with our relationship.

    I can't lose her. I am not sure what to do.

    Anyway, not looking for advice, although it is welcome. I just thought it might feel good to type all this out.

    Sorry to hear about your sh*t H.

    I don't know how old you are, but I'm guessing old enough to have a house with wood floors, a truck, and money to buy a ring. I've decided, and tell everyone who will listen, that at my age, and with all the women I've dated, life is waaaay to short to deal with all the typical bullsh*t that women feel like dishing out at times. My last 2 gf got the boot at the first signs of typical b*tch bullsh*t.

    You didn't do anything wrong, she's the one that acted like a freakin' kid. So you asked her if it dropped on the wood floor, and she was offended cuz she thought that you should've known that'd she'd tell you if it had. Get over it and give a one syllable answer. If this is how she'll act, who needs it!

    But if you guys do get back together...

    Good luck! :)

    this is what you should do:

    email your girlfriend's picture to yoyao and ask him to put it on the "hot or not" site. start a thread here asking bbs members to vote on whether she's worth your fustrations or not.

    seriously? the argument was ridiculous. apparently both of you have been around each other to know how to push each others buttons, so when you know that she's trying to push your's... just take it with a grain of salt. you f'ed up by telling her to leave... and over a got damn glass on a wood floor? man, what's wrong with you? :confused:

    Wow that sucks. Hopefully a little time apart will show her that this was simply a misunderstanding. If she doesnt come to this realization then in all honesty it`s better to find this out now then after you get married. I know it has to suck right now being in the "wait and see" mode. I wish you all the luck and hope you get this straightened out one way or another

    Ouch...

    I know you probably won't take this advice, but "screw her!" You had every right to ask about those wood floors, and she just blows you off. Then, she tries to purposfully push your buttons. In my opinion, this means that:

    a) She doesn't respect your stuff
    b) She doesn't respect you

    It wasn't about the glass falling on the expensive wood floor. She acted like a little kid. Perhaps it links back to how some authority figure made her feel when she had made a mistake. It doesn't matter, she brought this on herself. Besides, if he wants her back, just ignore her, she'll come crawling back.

    okay. glasses breaking on floors happen.

    as far as her acting like a kid, i'm sure her being childish showed before then. i mean c'mon... they had been together for a year.

    well, if she doesn't want to get back together... f' it. move on.

    Yup,I'm with Coma on this one.
    Though I don't have his "experience",I have learned one or two things about girls over the years(Hey!Aren't fnch suppose to be the best lovers!;) ).
    With all do respect to the ladies on this board,they allways love this kind of bull.And most of them will often try to test your limits.If the argument was as trivial as u say,then ur gf perfictly fits the mold.
    I'd love to say "don't worry they allways come back" but that's not how it happens and u'll probably have to work ur a$$ to get her back...if u want her back!
    My advise of the day would be get over her.

    If you truly love her and she feels the same about you………go to her and work it out !!!!

    Pride and stubbornness always have a way of destroying the best relationships. :(

    H,

    You are way too old to deal with petty female bullsh*t dude. And she's 34!? Man, her days for playing little kid games should be over already. If they aren't, well I don't think you deserve to have to deal with any of it. Games are for kids and b*tches.

    Like I said before, I don't think you have to do anything else. If she wants you back, which at 34 she's wanting to settle down I'm sure, she should be and probably will be the one crawling back to you. Hey, you said all that stuff to her, I'm sure there's a lot of other pent up stuff that led to your outburst. You said your peace, held your ground, the ball is in her court. Her loss man.

    I tried that last night. She insisted I not come by. I did anyway.....and brought her a peace offering and a card. She wasn't home.

    She said she'd call me before she went to bed when I did get a hold of her, she never did. I had to call her. We did talk a lot last night, but it seems she is over it.

    Tell her how you feel. Ask her why whe was trying to push your buttons?

    My ex once told me that she would intentionally try to start a fight so that I would pay her some attention...mind you, if I wasn't waiting on her hand and foot, she thought I wasn't paying her attention...:rolleyes:

    It probably sounds harsh, but I agree with every word coma has said in this thread. I know that is probably not what you want to hear, HOOP-T, but from the way she is acting, if you act weak now, it will end sooner or later anyway. So stay strong.

    Well, I'm really sorry to hear that. I't sounds like you need
    to give her a little space. It shouldn't take too long, you will
    know how she really feels soon enough.

    ( Coma, been married long ???????? ;) )

    There are a couple of ways to look at this.

    Let's say I screw up the big project at work. Everyone knows I screwed it up. But then you ask me at the staff meeting how bad I screwed it up. Now you have embarassed me in front of all my co workers. So I'm pissed at you even tho' I'm the one who screwed it up. So I can possibly see where she is coming from.

    The rest of it escalated from there.

    You had a big fight over nothing, but you have to ask yourselves why you had that fight. Surely something else is amiss and you need to find out why. If it goes more than a few days you better haul your ass over there and find out what the truth is. Maybe something has been bugging her about the relationship. Maybe something has been bugging you too and you just haven't figured it out. I mean why would you say something that powerful like don't come back. If you said that to me I would probably never come back just because I have a lot of pride. You'll have to be wrong on this if she sticks to her guns. And pretend like she is right.

    Agreed with Come(again) and Sir Jackie Chiles.By calling her and coming to her place ur almost saying it's ur fault and begging for forgiveness.
    She obviously like to toy with you,and you just keep on taking the bait!The logical thing to do here is ignore her and let her contact you first.If she does,try to talk about it and make things work.If not,then u can seriously doubt her love for you.
