    It's pretty simple really.

    You are more interested in watching a football game than your GF. Either she's not the girl for you or you have serious interpersonal issues.

    yes, it's called compromise. Heaven forbid a guy spends 3 hours on 16 different days during the year watching the Dolphins rather than spending all of that time exalting his gf/wife. Regardless, if Gish doesn't have to pick them up, the game should be over by the time they've arrived and showered off. Then she gets his undivided attention. win-win. The only way he'd be put in a position to ignore her is if he DVR's the game and picks her up b/c he'd then have an hour of the game to make up. Good luck if you think any die-hard football fan can give his lady his undivided attention knowing the 4th Quarter of the game he was just watching is sitting there on DVR calling his name.

    Why are you putting this on the guy when there's a two way street involved? Why should he have to make concessions when it was HER trip? If SHE values the relationship then she shouldn't be strong-arming him to compromise himself, nor treating an important part of his life as if it's insignificant. Again, why are you treating this like she's a war vet coming home from Iraq?... And since when does "valuing a relationship" = "allowing yourself to be manipulated by unfair ultimatums"? Right, he should sacrifice an hour of the game just b/c she doesn't wanna drive the short 15 minutes to his home. :unsure:

    That's half the joy for some people, and you have no ****ing right to tell people what is or isn't important or sacrificing to them. Plus he runs the risk of overhearing or seeing the score, especially if he can't immediately finish the game, which is likely to happen b/c "it's wrong to ignore his g/f when she gets home" according to your first sentence. So that means no ESPN, no NFLN, no sports-related websites, etc until sometime tomorrow when he's off his leash to finish the game...... but by then, some of the emotion from the game might be diminished after being removed from it. When you're in the middle of a great movie do you enjoy pausing it and finishing the ending at a later date?

    Again, you have no right to tell people what is or isn't important to them..... and it's douchey of you to condemn someone just b/c you feel differently about something that's important to them. BTW, I thought you were suggesting it's wrong to ignore his gf to finish watching the game? Which is it?

    If I were him and cared a great deal about the game, I'd feel like an *** for letting myself be strong-armed and guilted into missing the final hour when it only takes my g/f 15 minutes to drive herself home.

    seriously? She's a big girl; she initially didn't plan on him picking her up; she's the one who took the trip; she has a license; she can treck the whopping 15 minutes back to his place. You act like she's a helpless, vulnerable, goddam 3 year old traveling by herself. This has NOTHING to do with responsibility & priority. Did he take a friggin' oath?! He has a responsibility to his job, the promises he makes, the contracts he signs, and to his individual happiness.. and for the sake of both sanity and a healthy, long-lasting relationship, it's a priority that he be allowed to maintain that separate important aspect of his life w/o having to unfairly compromise himself.

    That's bull****!!!! Do you know how dumb that sounds?! You're the one with serious interpersonal issues if you actually believe that crap.

    If an ounce of what you said were true then millions of men should run out tomorrow and divorce their wives or dump their girlfriends b/c they want to spend 3 hours watching a football game rather than spending EVERY GODDAM HOUR with her. :unsure: GTFOH.

    well then I hope she pees all over the seat to keep you guessing late at night when you have to put it down to take a sh**. :lol:

    Side note: I think it's pathetic that some posters are trying to guilt Gish into picking up his gf just b/c they themselves would allow the woman to neuter them in this situation. No person should have to make unnecessary sacrifices. What massive sacrifice is the g/f making by driving herself 15 minutes home? ....what, carrying her own luggage to the car rather than having him do it? Gimme a friggin' break.

    After your last post, I can see why "Pimpin Ain't Easy" for you [your avatar slogan]. It's gotta be damn near impossible with how you volunteer yourself to be walked on by a girlfriend while also feeling the need to dedicate your entire existence to her. You might have as many posts as the rest of us if she let you out of the box more often. :pity:

    The real problem here is Gish's relationship with TV. How the hell does he neglect his TV so much he didn't have a DVR? Its absurd and he's a horrible, horrible TV owner. Its just unconscionable.

    Not. even. close. He's trying to make it out to be sooooooo black and white that it's beyond absurdity!! Yeah ok, every die-hard football fan in America and most of the people in this thread either have interpersonal issues or suddenly care more about football than their wives/girlfriends just b/c they want to watch a big game rather spend that specific time with her. :unsure: Yeah forget about allllll the rest of the time that he spends with her..... forget about alllllll the other ways and instances he may have shown his love & affection for her...... and forget about allllllll the fair possibilities for AMICABLE COMPROMISE that don't involve missing the game.

    The first statement of "you are more interested in watching a football game than your GF" is just ASININE, and the follow up statement of "she's either not the girl for you or you have interpersonal problems" is nothing but ridiculous circular-logic based on the false, ignorant, previous statement, and it's insulting at that. "interpersonal problems"? Really?!! Tell that to every married man here who has a great relationship with a wife who understands how important his Miami Dolphins' days are and would never think of compromising him if it weren't absolutely necessary. Meeting a goddam g/f at the airport b/c she doesn't wanna drive 15 minutes home or take a taxi is farrrrrrrr from absolutely necessary.

    If Gish and his GF are cohabitating it is as much her place as his, and it sounds like she already told her mom she could stay. There is being gracious on his part for something that was already offered by his GF. He'd have to be a real douche to say anything against her mom staying at this point.

    All the women you end up having sex with want you to spank them with your belt? That does present quite the dilemma. Do you think they fantasize that you are the Iceman, or Doc Holliday while the spanking is going on? Ramble on to them in Latin while giving them they belt and tell them you are their huckleberry to make the Doc fantasy complete. :lol:

    Still, he could've been against it b/c it's his gf's first night back after a week and a half away. I agree it would've been douchey, but he still could've acted in that manner.

    So to summarize, Gish is already sacrificing booty time after a week and a half hiatus so that his gf's mom can have a more convenient drive to her morning doctor visit, yet some people are suggesting he's a "douche boyfriend", "loves football more than her", or has "interpersonal problems" if he doesn't want to sacrifice a big Miami game to boot. How many friggin' sacrifices does he have to make before she makes a concession on her own, especially when there was no prior mention by his gf about picking them up even though she knows he loves the Dolphins, knows he doesn't wanna miss a game unless it's an emergency, and had already been through this stuff the first year they were dating?

    He made one concession. It's not fair for her to request another when it has minimal impact upon her situation but a big one upon his.

    I really didn't intend for this to turn into this in depth of a discussion of my personal life. It's kinda cool though. I can't imagine being a celebrity and hearing discussions like this on tv and the internet about every thing I do. To make things juicier, I'll give this piece of evidence to the case. While she was gone, I got to sleep in the middle of the bed, and I'm not looking forward to giving that up. Discuss....

    Big deal. That's nothing. Mind blown that a few of you are treating this like she'll be returning from a year long internship in Mongolia.

    Furthermore, what did his g/f do despite not seeing him for a week and a half? she invited mom to spend the night, destroying any hope for personal time. I.E: what your statement insinuated isn't true. now.is.it.

    Staring at the corner of a room until she gives you the ok isn't really considered an option. Well, I guess you could glance up or down with your eyes, or side to side using your peripherals.

    I'm not the one who insultingly insinuated to Gish [and the rest of us by default] that you know his relationship and feelings toward his GF better than he does, and that he has interpersonal issues for not wanting to miss a big game for something as trivial as driving his gf 15 minutes from the airport to home after she waited a few days before the game to drop it on him.

    If this involved taking her TO the airport, you'd have a leg to stand on.
    If the trip or sequence of events prior to it were emotional, you'd have a leg to stand on.
    If it were of an extended period of time to where they'd be longing for their reunited embrace, you'd have a leg to stand on.
    If he weren't already sacrificing booty night so that her mom could have a shorter drive in the a.m, you'd have a leg to stand on.
    If her return travel were exhausting and they lived an hour from the airport, you'd have a leg to stand on.
    If the topic of Dolphins football and its importance to him were never discussed, you'd have a leg to stand on.
    ... but so far, you have no legs to stand on.

    That's what you get for making a thread on a topic that contains controversy :p .... and by controversy I mean a few people opposing the masses who feel you're well within right and reason to watch the game live while coming up with some sort of amicable solution to ensure everyone benefits in the long run. There's always a compromise for minor stuff like this, unless one party selfishly believes in lopsided relationships. You were more than fair in your response and solution. You could've been that guy who harshly tells her tough friggin luck, get over it.... but you weren't, which is commendable considering she's well aware of your stance on the matter.

    The middle of the bed is GREAAAAATTTTTTT. Plus that's like virgin bed. That'd be worth picking her up if she'd agree to sleep on the couch for a week am I right. Let us know how it goes.

    Tell her how you feel and that you want her to sleep on the floor. When she freaks out, explain you can't be with a girl who isn't willing to sleep on the floor. Then report back her reaction word for word.

    Just curious, what would you not watch the game live for? Keep in mind you will still get to watch it that night?

    Is there anything you wouldnt sacrifice to watch the game live?

    Well then you must watch the game, naked, in the middle of the bed, as your gf and her mom hitchhike home.

    Then when they walk in the door just yell, "honey, I'll give you the dick when the games over, this is a big game!"

    what did my statement insinuate? You make up an awful lot of points no one said so you can argue with them. Seems to me you realize you're full of **** at the moment.
    And the fact that the mom will be there doesn't mean they can't have personal time. It just means they'll have to be quiet if they have sex. Unless you think the mom is going to sit in between the both of them on the couch.

    plenty of stuff. Any sort of emergency or significant event.
    Having a big game interrupted so that your GF doesn't have to drive herself 5 miles home? Sorry, I don't see the fair trade off, b/c the person with the most to lose in that instance shouldn't be the one making the sacrifice. Watching the game for me is important. Her having me pick her up at the airport rather than drive herself 5 miles home is about convenience. Convenience should not supersede importance. Therefore, the person seeking convenience should be the one making the sacrifice in that instance. Not to mention, making sacrifices aren't always a bad thing. If you love the person and it's a healthy relationship, having an opportunity to make a small sacrifice [which the GF would be doing in this case] so that your loved one can enjoy something important to them should make the sacrificing person feel good about contributing to their loved one's happiness. She's happy knowing you're happy. You're happy for getting to watch the game. And then you're both happy together when you reward her in some fun or romantic way for being awesome about letting you watch the game. That's conducive for a healthy relationship; giving out an unfair ultimatum isn't, nor is making your partner miss something important just so that you can be more convenienced.

  40. Alternate thought:

    If this is not how she typically behaves, perhaps this has more to do with her relationship between her and her mom more than it is about you. Maybe her mom tells her she could do better than you and this is her attempt to show her family how important she is to you. Maybe she is trying to show you off to her family by making you the hero (and she probably did without thought about your game) and now she is the one backed into a corner with her family. She might of told her parents not to trouble with dad driving cause mom needs to go to the doctors and Gish will be more then happy to pick them up and your football game is spoiling it for her and leaving her feeling a bit embarrassed so she is pulling the if you love me card you will do this.

    You know your GF better than any of us. If you suspect its something like this going on I would suggest you go be her knight and shining armor and get her. I would also later when your alone talk to her about being more considerate to you and not just volunteer you without checking with you first.

    Im sure she would not be too happy if you invited all the boys over to football sunday and last minute told her to cancel her shopping plans and run to the store for food and beer and then stay and cook for everyone. Consideration is a two way street
