i don't understand all of you saying "japan is a once in a lifetime" thing.

i could schedule a plane ticket tomorrow if i want. or a week from now, or a year. what the heck?

Because average people dont have the money to go whenever they feel like it.
 
//Your Balls Just Dropped//

Tell her you are going and that she is acting like a little girl and she needs to come back and live in the real world.

Depending on your/her age, you probably aren't going to be with her very long anyhow.

So, five years from now you can be thinking to yourself how you wish you would have gone and seen Japan, as you broke up with her four years ago after she told you that you couldn't go to Taco Bell and eat without her.


//Balls Still Up//

Yes, my unreasonable, immature, overbearing, selfish, and controlling love of my life.

Because I just started my new job not too long ago and I asked them for this vacation non paid before I was hired. And now she go and got a new job also that won't let her leave. Rescheduling means waiting a full year generating my vacation days at work.

Shes working for Belkin now. Finding a new job was hard, so she took the first good oppurtunity that came. I'm glad she got a new job, but the timing is so wrong.
 
she was going to go with or without you anyway, why can't you do the same?

However, how much fun can you have by yourself? I don't think i would go on vacations by myself.

oh and btw, hand over your man card.:evil:

What is she doing at Belkin, if I may ask?

being a whiny biatch!
 
I'd go, if I were you. Not to spite the GF, but to have fun. If your GF dumps you over it, then your relationship wasn't meant to be.

Best advice I can give: You're gonna lose your freedom when you get married someday anyway, so why hand it over before then? Go have a good time alone if you have to, don't let a simple GF order you around.
 
Simple question - do you even want to go to Japan by yourself?

I personally don't like going solo on vacations, unless I'm single and looking to meet a lot of womenz and hook up hopefully.

I wouldn't go just to spite her, but if you do feel you'll have a blast on your own, then I'd say definitely go.

This is also assuming that you can't cancel those days off and just show up to work and get paid. (Have you even asked your company if you could do that?)
 
Let me make this clear to all of you. I live with my girlfriend and we been living together for almost a year now. Her decisions is important to me and if I simply just went on my own and not respecting what she thinks is wrong of me. So I'm posting here to get some opinions. Going to Japan for me does seem like a one time thing and its not because of the money, but more on the timing. I rarely get a chance like this, because of work. I'm trying to satisfy myself but at the same time respecting her thoughts.

so you hsould respect what she thinks, but she shouldn't respect what you think? She seems way too attatched to you...she needs to learn to be on her own too.....
 
you have been planning this for so long - put much time and effort into this. You should go. As you said, it was a PITA to get to where you at, you cant just turn around and let it go to waste.

"She said she was going to go with or without me.." Well, its your time to turn that around on her. If she has doubts about you being gone for a week or 10 days whichever it is, then she has to question where the relationship is at...

Good luck and have fun!!
 
its all good man. i guess it depends how much she means to you. she just got a new job and while it was PITA for you to get your passport, etc. i would suggest that you just skip the vacation. spend time with her. be understanding dude.

its a jackas$ thing to go without her.
 
know your role!

you are the man.

put your foot down.

do what you want if she dont like it she can take a hike cuz any worthwhile female companion would be understanding.

"Bitch, I'm going to Japan. You'll survive just fine without me for a week. Frankly it's the least you could do after you've screwed me out of good vacation time I could have taken later in the year. Now STFU and turn over."

Sounds good to me.... If I have a chance to go, I'd do the same.

Maybe he should just take her best friend or sister...:evil:

I will be expecting your man card in the mail no later than friday
 
I can see two different scenarios here when you're saying that "she wont let me go":

is it in the tone of

1) "HELL NO! YOU'RE NOT STEPPING OUT OF THIS COUNTRY WITHOUT ME!"

or is it

2) "I really do not want you go on this vacation without me. I know we've planned to go on the trip, but I would really like to you to go with me on this trip...."

if it is the first one or closer towards the first one, then i definitely say that you should go. however, if its the second one or closer to the second one, then i think you should consider rescheduling the trip. Like you said earlier, finding a job isnt easy. I am pretty sure if she had a choice then she would have waited until after the trip to start. You can't fault the girl for not wanting to bum off of you all the time.

A trip to Japan isnt exactly a once in a lifetime kind of thing. If it's the vacation days that is stopping you, then you can always get more. The money thing might be an issue, but with your gf having a job, then it will be easier to be able to pick up and go in the future. Hell, it will even be more fun with her bringing in some cash. The difficulties that you spoke about in getting a passport isnt an issue, since you already got it now.
