Football game

Fair comes every year and rarely changes. What are the chances after this year that you get such great seats?

I'll make this is as short as I can....

So the fair has come to town for two weeks and my GF wants to go this weekend since she is going out of town next week. So I said well thats fine, but there is a football game (going to football games, especially in front row of the student section, is very close to the top of things i love to do) at noon on Saturday. I suggested that she go with one of her friends during the football game and that I would meet up with them after the game and stay the rest of the night with her. That would give us about 7 and 1/2 hours at the fair. I thought that was pretty reasonable right?

Wrong.

She wants me to not go to the football game at all and spend the entire day at the fair with her because she loves the fair and it only comes once a year. She said I never make sacrifices for her and that me going to the game means that she is worthless to me. I suggested that if 7 and 1/2 hours wasn't long enough for her that we could also go Sunday morning (she doesn't want to go all day Sunday because she has an exam on Monday) which she also rejected. I also offered to buy her a ticket to the game so we could go together, but she didn't like that idea.

So I ask ATOT, am I being unreasonable?

Cliffs:
-Fair and football game on same day
-GF wants to go the entire day and have me miss the game instead of going with a friend part of the day and with me the other part.
-If I go to the game, that tells her that I view her as worthless.


I hate when girls say that....they should only say that if you are about to move far far away, or go hang out with another girl (which is a no no either way!)
 
that is not very nice of her.
That is also a long time at the fair.
IF you are going to the fair with her why don't you invite her to the game with you?
 
Doesn't matter if she's unreasonable or not. As long as she has what she does between her legs, and as long as you want it, she could tell you that you're goat and that'd be reasonable.

As soon as she looses that power over you then petty crap like this matters....but it also means you've gone gay.
 
I'm glad I'd never have this kind of arguement with my wife. She started planning tomorrow's tailgate for the Florida game last week. 🙂

Women rule the world b/c they have half the money and all the pu$$y.
 
Your GF is a manipulative b1tch for pulling that "you think I'm worthless" sh1t.

QFT

In related knews, my girl is going with me to a football game on saturday. 😉
 
I think the most important part of the equation is WHAT college football team you are going to see.

If it's North Carolina, go to the fair.. 😀
 
WTH would you do at a "fair" for more than a couple of hours anyway? (Based on the portable carnivals that stop here)

If her attitude is like that...I say go to the game... if you give in, it will only get worse.

Pretty soon you'll be carrying her purse and spending time at the mall. 😛

Haha, no not North Carolina...North Carolina State. If you have seen the past couple of games, you know how exciting these game are. Please ignore the first three game however.

Bullsh1t. Only a human doormat would put up with that sh1t just because she's got a p****. If it were me, I'd offer her the reasonable compromise (game followed by fair) and if she kept pitching a fit I'd tell her she was pissing me off, I didn't feel like going to the fair AT ALL anymore, and I'd instead go to a party with the guys after the game to "clear my head"... and then I'd walk away. Guaranteed she'd be on her knees "begging" me to reconsider my original offer.

But I guess when you spend all your time supplicating to women and not standing up for yourself you get use to letting them walk all over you.
 
I'd call her bluff go to the game. Your offers were reasonable (7 hours at the fair is a hell of a long time...how big is it?). She's testing you. If you cave and follow her around the fair like a puppy dog all day, she'll do it again.

I think she is also in shock because this is the first time in 2 years I have really put my foot down and didn't give in.

GOOD.

Do not let her manipulate you.
Go to the game, have fun, then join her at the fair. She'll probably be happy to see you. If she still acts pissy though, leave here there.
 
WTF 7 1/2 hours at a fair is already twice as much time as you should be spending there. Go to the game, tell her you'll be more than happy to be with her at the fair from the hours of 5pm to 9pm. If you do the fair all day long with her you're both going to be looking at each other all day with you thinking, this is lame i could have been at the game, and her thinking 'he's pissed at me now cause this really is lame, what was i thinking? I should have taken his compromise of 7 hours'. It will suck.

7 and half hours.... thats a long time

most people dont even get that much sleep, and unless this fair is disney land and universal studios roled into one...you'd be bored for at least 3 hours lol.

 
1) You didn't list the background. There are two possibilities. (a) She is an unreasonable bitch so you should dump her. (b) You haven't done enough in the past for the relationship to work.

2) Tell her that the football tickets are already bought, that you'll go to the fair, and that you'll do something very special for her next week. If she still complains, mention that SHE isn't making any sacrifices. If she dumps you, then 1(a) was the correct assumption. It is too bad that you were dumped, but you got rid of an unreasonable bitch, so you are better off.

3) If she doesn't dump you, then 1(a) is false. The result is that 1(b) is true. You are being unreasonable. Change your ways buddy if you want this relationship to work.
