    That conversation will be the a sticky point going forward with this girl. If you care, DVR, flowers for mom and girlfriend, and telling girlfriend you were wrong and you now have a DVR.

    Return in 30 minutes, fast forward through halftime, hardly miss much time. Have girlfriend tuck Mom in while the Dolphins finish crushing the Saints.

    This will turn a turnover into a defensive stop and TD drive on the punt. That is how you win son.

    He just sucks at bargaining. Limo would have solved everything. Could have even gone the cheese route and had flowers waiting for her when she got back also. Got himself backed into a corner too easily.

    Wouldn't that advice apply to his girlfriend as well?

    At this point, this is one of those where you'll have to tell her you'll take care of it, and call a limo service to pick her up.

    You will never win a "owe me a favor" argument with a female..never.

    Meaning there is no leverage to be gained, which is why bargain position is such a bad idea, they hold all of the cards.

    As for relationships, alternatively, they should know not to ask in the first place as whatever it is matters that much to the other person.

    He doesn't want to give now, that's the whole point and she is pulling the BS about how terrible it is he's not picking her at the airport when its nothing of the sort.

    The people saying he's an *** or should grow up should STFU. This is important to him, period. Greeting her when she lands might be quasi important to her in a Sleepless in Seattle sort of romantic way, but it's not something she's looked forward to her entire life like like a young Dolphins fan has an exciting, winning season. There's 16 goddam days that we get to see a Fins game so there's no reason Gish should have to miss the end of a big Monday night game, especially the way we play in the 4th quarter, just b/c his stubborn GF doesn't want to compromise, and any GF who doesn't want to compromise is an ex-GF in my book.

    Gish, if you cave to her desire for attention and meet her at the airport like some are suggesting, it's only gonna set a precedent for the future, and before long you'll be attending dinners or afternoon BBQ's with her no-football-watching family when Miami games just so happen to be on b/c she'll know she can press you with the whole "If you love me you wouldn't choose football over me and family" stuff.

    If you pick her up, you're failing her "sh*t test". She's being ridiculous on purpose. She's created a hoop for you to jump through and want's to see if you'll do it. What's worse, you're being more ridiculous even considering playing along with her. It's not that she doesn't have plenty of genuine alternatives, she just wants you to do it. Unfortunately for her, as the philosopher Jagger once said, we don't always get what we want... Stay home and watch the game. Don't be an idiot, bro. DVR or no DVR.


    lol.just.lol @ beta male responses telling Gish to obey his girlfriend. Or worse yet, spend money on limo's and flower's to apologize. Apologize for spending his free time, doing something he loves? uh, what?

    Strong pair of balls you guys have.

    TBH, for me, I'd just had agreed to pick her up as she has been out of town and her mom is having a rough go of it.

    Love my Dolphins obviously, however if I'm into her then I'd also accept the fact that at times there are things you just have to do, by bargaining it's sort of the worst of both worlds.

    Promise her a candlelight dinner, long bubble bath, followed by an hour massage as a compromise, and if she says know to that then you know there's only 1 thing left to do.......

    :lol: it's a game.. just a football game... not like it's a Super Bowl or anything. If it's a long standing relationship, he's going to do what's best for him in that relationship. He's getting a DVR.. and he's going to pick her up. Now, if she goes on her phone and tells him what the score is during the drive, all he has to do is open up the door and let her out... while the car is moving.... on the freeway... in the fast lane...

    Dude, with respect, you're not using your head. This isn't a football issue, a wearing the pants issue, or even a self-centered issue. This is a romance issue. She's been gone almost two weeks and hasn't had any. She's probably horny. She expects you to miss her and want her, and not be able to wait even one second until you can be together again. Instead, all you want to do the night she finally comes back is watch a damn football game. Trust me, dude: This is what she is feeling.

    DVR the game. Before you go pick her up, set the place up with dim lights, an aromatic candle or two, romantic music, flowers, and the like. Go get her. Tell her how much you missed her. When you get in the door, give her a couple of seconds to take it all in, then sweep her off her feet, carry her into the bedroom, throw her on the sack and do her hard the first time, gently the second time. After she falls asleep, close the door and turn on the game.

    Go get her. The dolphins aren't going to help you when the big fight happens. Sorry keep the peace! I feel your argument but it's a game. A big game, but still a game. Priorities/responsibilities are #1 at least that's what my shrink tells me. Lol

    If I was with someone I cared about and they were coming back from time away, I'd be there early to pick them up. It isn't that I care about the Phins less than anyone here, just that I value personal relationships more.

    If she isn't important to him...don't do it. I understand, but if she is....just man up and pick her up.

    That's not the point. We could substitute the game for any event and there would still be the same underlying problem.

    Gish wants to watch the game. He's made it clear it's important to him.
    Gish's GF has plenty of perfectly viable alternatives.
    GF wants Gish to break plans and is being unreasonable, despite his best efforts to accommodate her.

    The solution isn't to give her what she wants, whenever she wants it. Nor should the solution involve him spending money to supplicate to her with flowers, candy, limo's, etc.. as if he's in the wrong.

    there's no way he's gonna get a boner while not knowing what's going on with the game...

    Dvr it, pick the ladies up, get them back home, put them to bed, and watch the game like you never missed a snap..

    P.s watch out for the ole girlfriend who will tease you with the tweeter to see if you can resist the muffin...you'll want to put her to bed, and she will want to have sex...if you got to, and she's really putting you threw the test, give her a quickie, kiss her on the mouth the whole time, get her off, fake an orgasm if you have to, and go back to the game in your own privacy...

    Or new GF :shifty:

    If she's not respecting your priorities (after all Mom & Dad CAN pick her up!) now, what's it going to be like if you marry her? Buy a DVR or get a new GF, seems simple enough to me.

    Agree on all points. To add to it, Gish didn't force her to go out of town in the first place so it's not on him to atone for a damn thing, and I doubt she heard Gish saying prior, "well if you really love me you wouldn't leave me for a week and a half".

    If I were Gish I would've said, "look, I didn't protest you leaving town and being away from me for 10 days. I sucked it up, and I wasn't immature enough to say 'it's either the trip or me'..... so now it's your turn to compromise and return the favor. Your car will be at the airport; where you choose to drive it is up to you. I hope it's to my place."

    Absolutely YES if it unnecessarily compromises the person in the process. I'm sure there are and have been a bounty of other ways Gish shows he cares w/o having to sacrifice a Miami game. She chose to leave town; that's on her. Now her needy self throws the you're-choosing-me-over-football card and wants him to ditch a big game so he can greet her at the airport like she's friggin' Tom Hanks in 'Castaway'? F***.that.

    So I guess that means you'd have no problem strong-arming a GF into miss something important to her just so she can greet you at the airport like a good little doggie rather than waiting an extra 20 minutes like normal grownups are capable of?

    Strong chick logic. Would wife you/10. Explain why Gish missing the game is necessary (especially given the alternatives) to....show he cares? You make it sound like he's forcing her to hitchhike while he chugs beers and cheers on the Dolphins giving the saints an *** kicking of a lifetime.

    BTW I would like to nominate this as funniest thread of the month. Also the most important, we must all understand our true priorities. But to be honest I would get the DVR and pick her up, and cop at least two Big "O"'s for my trouble. Then stay away from here and anything that could spoil you not knowing the details of the game, after sex at least twice, pull an all nighter to watch the recorded game.

    A good woman wouldn't put you in this position IMO. If you have truly stressed how important the Phins are to you, then she is just being selfish. I hate when men pander to every request a woman has. You won't earn any of her respect that way. A girlfriend? Pshh...set your boundaries now.

    I love my wife and she loves me...she would never do that to me. Wouldn't even ask. And she knows ill do anything for her.

    The ONLY valid reason to greet her at the airport is if her trip was an emotional, trying one [like a funeral]. Otherwise, she does NOT need his comfort, security, and show of love THAT badly that it can't wait an extra 20 minutes. This is just selfishness on her part, a disgusting display of it considering she's trying to manipulate him with that whole "football or me" crap. If she truly loves him and understands what a real relationship is about, she would never ask him to compromise himself like that when it can be avoided.

    At most there's 20 days out of the year to watch a Dolphins game. That leaves 345 days for her.... yet some people here act like those numbers are reversed. Gimme a friggin' break. Any woman who thinks her 345 days aren't enough to where she feels entitled to cut into his 20 needs to be bounced.
