hey everyone,

here's the situation as short as possible...:

After work, your girl calls you up to let you know she's having dinner with this guy. Guy is a "friend" she met through her ex and she bumped into him walking home. Other than that, she's never spoken/hung out w/ this guy.

Dinner i'm fine with...

now, 10pm...i get a call she's going to some bar w/ him and 6 of his buddies visiting...i tell her i'm uncomfortable w/ that...i'd like to be ok w/ it, but i'm not....she says she won't go and will call me when i get home...

Night continues ....no call..(needless to say she went)

Next morning at work she says she interpreted our conversation as she'll go and i'll try to deal w/ it...and her phone died....

i find the move rather devious and am pretty upset/disappointed...

thoughts?

I would fvcking pissed as all hell. She LIED to you, straight up, to be able to spend time getting sloshed at a bar with seven other guys that she "just met". If I were you, would have a serious conversation with her and make damn sure she understands that lying to me is something that will NOT be tollerated and that if anything even REMOTELY like this ever happens again, she's gone. I do NOT tollerate lying and I am an extremely jealous man. If she doesn't like that, she can find another man who doesn't give a flying fark if she LIES and doesn't care if she gives the impression that she's a slut.

grr... now I'm all freaking pissed, dammit. This has happened to me a few times and it really fvcking pisses me off when I think about it.

Yeah bro I don't think I'd be ok with my girl going out with some other guy, esp after with his friends, there is just no telling what would happen after she had a few drinks. For all I try not to be jealous (I can control it externally when necessary thank god) thats something that would probably cause me to lose sleep. The last thing I'd want is a picture one of his buddies took of my drunken girlfriend grinding on some random guy.

I don't understand why she told you all of that in the first place. Trying to make you mad or jealous? If she was trying to screw around behind your back, she wouldn't have told you about any of that. It is either innocent (possible, but maybe not likely), or she's trying to force your hand into breaking up with her because she's too chicken to break it off with you herself. She is too damn old to be playing pitiful games like that. Most women (if they go through that crap at all) get that out of their systems by the time they're 22 or so.

i was wondering this myself too, and the conclusion i came up thus far was is 1: she's really naive to see other's guys motives (which all girls claim to be). or 2: really just covering her tracks.....

either way...this situation at our age really "shouldn't" be happening...but alas...another topic for the conversation after work....

here's the way I see it, I know lots of girls that are like this (however I'm still in college, I'd expect most of them to get past this later down the line) they will rationalize what they are doing "yes I have a boyfriend, its not a big deal however to go out with these guys and just hang out" then later "well I had a few drinks and his buddies are pushin for me to give him a lap dance, whats the big deal its not like we're having sex" thats the thought process, not technically cheating, but will definitely make you feel like sh!t, esp if you have any feelings for her. Its a tough pill to swallow, and it doesn't get better with time, best bet IMO is to talk to her in person, sounds like you've caught it early, be very frank with her tell her you know she didn't cheat on you and that isn't even something you are concerned with, but that it was really messing with your mind and you'd prefer if she didn't do it again. But bro if its any consolation I've been in this situation a couple of times, really blows, I always work out when I feel like crap, maybe hit the punching bag for a while (or until my hands bleed, depending on the day lol) but nothin makes ya feel better than puttin up some big weight while thinkin "screw the b!tch" gl to ya.

/edit I read the update, glad to see things worked out, I think talking about it was probably the best thing you could have done.

i think talking it out was really the best thing to do. seriously, i don't care what anyone says, but communication is KEY to a thriving relationship....and if two ppl really want things to work, there should be no problem w/ trying to communicate your feelings.
