    I know this isnt a relationship forum but i gotta check with other guys about this.

    So i'm watching the last minute of the game and am on pins and needles just praying to God to show his mercy on me and grant the G-men a win to take away from the pain of the 2002 Superbowl. My gf on her laptop starts b*tchin at me that the internet won't work and asks if i can fix it. I don't answer her and she keeps b*tchin, so i just say remind me in 30 seconds-1min, basically after the game. The game ends and I am getting calls and calling everyone i know to celebrate on the phone. My girl gets peeved cos i'm on the phone and watching the post game instead of helping her "fix" the internet. I get pissed off at her because this is probably the greatest moment of my life since the 1999 super bowl. I'm just trying to enjoy the moment like most guys across America that don't reside in the Bahstin Mahss area and its surrounding cities.
    She refuses to understand that and gets pissed off cos i said I would get to it in 30 secs to 1min. This leads to a row and I just wanna know what you guys would have done in that situation. This girl doesnt care about sports except for figure skating and thats fine with me, but i'm a rabid sports fan and there's nothing i hate more than being disturbed when i'm focused on my teams game or any good game. I happen to be with a girl that doesnt respect that.
    I feel she should have just shut the F&*K up and relaxed till I was done with the post game and all that. I shouldnt have had to tell her.

    What would y'all do if your girl fails to understand the importance of certain games to you or the viewing of said games?

    you need to get rid of this girl immediately and it has nothing to do with this one game. the story you told describes a girl that is too selfish to ever be someone that is committed to giving and taking in a relationship...somehow I doubt this is the first and only time she's ever been upset with you for not stopping and immediately dropping what you're doing to help her out...

    Its the Super Bowl man...even non sports fans recognize this as sort of a De Facto national holiday.

    I think she just wanted to show her power over you...and when you waited til the game was over it made her mad..and then when you didn't jump right after the game she got still madder.

    I gotta admit that i'm weak because what y'all have said is right and this quote is exactly how i've judged her actions in the past. She's a 10. I aint kidding. I know who's the hot one in my relationship and it aint me. I'll scan a pic tonight and get it on here.

    SirCharles fan, you are correct in what you wrote.

    She has to understand that this is a very important event to you, and you dont care about anything else that the game. Thats why I only invite people to watch the superbowl, that I cannot be bother with other things.
    Explain that with the final figure skating in the olympics or anything that passionate her.

    If she doesnt want to understand, dump her, its not good for you.

    What she did was inconsiderate. Period.

    If you did that to her during something that was important to her, she'd have a right to be upset and you have a right to be pissed now.

    You probably should have told her that you were in the middle of the game and when it and the postgame were over, you'd try to help her with her problem instead of telling her you'd get to it in a minute, but still, she needs to be more understanding about what is important to you even if she doesn't consider it important.

    One of the big things - to me anyway - in a relationship is mutual respect for each other even when you don't fully understand the other's interest in something. If you don't have that, it will be a struggle.

    Nah man, I know I can just transfer from digital camera to pc but i have one that was printed out already.

    I appreciate the answers guys, I just wanted to be sure I wasnt crazy for thinking the way I did.

    Mr. Brightside, I seriously considered that but I just threw a water bottle at the wall cos i was so pissed off and I realized the cops would be only to eager to come look for me if i got physical.

    Thing is something similar happened after another great sports final. I can't remember which one off the top of my head but she quickly destroyed my high after that final like she did after this super bowl.

    Also, I clap sometimes after a good play in any game i watch. Not like ear splitting claps but not quite claps either. This girl gets ticked off about that, I would like to believe other girls feel like that but i doubt it.

    Woo sa, Woo sa.

    Thanks again for the help guys.

    Whatever you do, do NOT post photos of your gf...EVAR. Don't do it. Save yourself (and her). :)

    word...she sounds high maintenannce and you sound like you're willing to put up wth it because you don't think you can do better in the looks dept.

    makes for a bad combo.

    Dude....you told her to give you a few minutes to let the game end and you'd help her out, and she still overreacted?

    She seems overly sensitive and doesn't seem to respect your time to have a little fun.

    I'd probably try to dumb things up for her and explain to her how important the game was. It's not that she's unimportant, its just you're watching the biggest choke in superbowl history. If she doesn't understand...then just do what chris rock does, and shake the ***** out of her.

    Considering the circumstances, that this is the Super Bowl, and you are actually a Giants fan, it's obvious she doesn't respect you at all.

    I had a high-maintenance gf once. Had the looks and everything. But the headache just wasn't worth it for me, so we parted. Looks aren't everything.

    Kind of funny that this reminds me of a time I watched a Rockets playoff games at my parents house. And my mom lost the internet connection while I was watching the game... and I went ahead and did it like a good old boy. :)

    If you're coming here for advice on the matter and she is indeed a 10, you should probably apologize profusely and keep her as long as you can.

    That's why you go watch the game at a bar with your boys.
