Girlfriends birthday this sunday..wants to go to a winery at noon.

I would say that's unusual. I'm struggling to remember any wedding I've been to that hasn't been a Saturday.

Quite odd. Then again it's family and we are frugal

More important than spending time with a loved one? I love football as much as any fan, but if someone I care about asks me to spend time with them on their birthday, watching football will not win out.

Quit letting your family manipulate you man!

Cool. Have fun. Just know that the strange taste you get when you toss her salad is my johnson.

So, your giving relationship advice in one breath and then in the other talking about cheating on your wife and ruining another relationship... Weird.

I do? Can't say I noticed. You usually come across as just boring and pretty dumb.

Awwww. Does baby need his bottle?

My friends wedding that was on a Friday... they're quite frugal... A wedding I'm going to this weekend (Saturday), they also don't have much money, but made it work on a Saturday. In the end, its just easier to get your guests together on a Saturday.

Except it is, you've both placed such an enormous emphasis on what you watch that you can't bother to be there for the person on the anniversary of their birth.

Yes, most adults can celebrate later with other non-significant others but you should place your FAMILY first and celebrate with them on their day.

We are there for each other. We live together. We know that it's not when you do something, but what you do.

You are going to tell me if you have a birthday on a wednesday and you want to try a new restaurant, you are going to go there with your S.O. that very day and not wait til the weekend?

In the case of the OP, sunday is the weekend but so is saturday and so is other times on sunday. It both activities want to be performed, it is more efficient to do one that doesn't conflict with the other. That is common sense.

 

[Bearin' Down]

Says the divorcee. How did being a white knight feminist pushover work out for you?

... Wow. This has nothing to do with the OPs question. Zackattack needs to write a blog article about appropriate versus inappropriate trolling. You sound like a total jerk here, which is the opposite of how I'd describe you based on our interactions whether we agreed or disagreed.

 

[didshereallysaythat]

LOL. didshe walking around his house on egg shells

Jeebus man. So far what I've gathered is that she dictates your meals and you know to STFU when The Voice is on. No wonder you seem damaged.

I watch the Voice with her sometimes and even laugh at the idiots that want to be pop stars. She watches some of the games and asks rules questions. We have a healthy relationship. She cringes when I listen to Heavy Metal in the car half the time and I cringe when she listens to Vietnamese pop music the other half.

Just to review..this is the girl that didshe finds to be manipulative:



Meanwhile.....didshe is being forced to use chopsticks and be quiet during shitty NBC reality TV programming.

I wasn't forced to use chopsticks. I chose to learn. I usually eat with a fork even if it is asian food.

I would say he should have a discussion with her if he feels that strongly. I would be pro that route. But, to say "oh she's manipulating you" as the first response is nuts to me. But as far as if he can find another time, sure try it if you need to see the game live. As with everything, I think both parties need to come to a conclusion together so one doesn't resent the other.

Anything to piss off the racist FT.

If missing a Bears game to spend time with your g/f who "does anything" for you on her birthday causes resentment.....then you're fucked in the head.

I watch it to ogle Gwen.

That is actually what I initially suggested. If there was no other time that weekend that they could go to the winery, then he should go. But if the entire weekend was open and she ONLY wanted to go at that VERY time of noon and got mad when he suggested another time... then it is a manipulative test. Why else would that very specific time be so important to her? If she is truly an awesome person and is willing to give up a wedding date so he can watch the Bears, then chances are that she just picked a random time of noon for the winery not knowing the game was on and would easily go at 9 am or 3 pm as an alternative.

I agree, but we all have our priorities. Someone with that person likely isn't as together as one would hope either.

I can see you still are attracted to drug addicts.
