NWFlyer 2 #2 June 12, 2006 Not knowing your girlfriend ... hard to say. She may genuinely be one of those people who doesn't care if the birthday gets celebrated on the actual day (I'm one of those ... my birthday always falls near a holiday, so I'm used to being feted days before or days after), or she may be behaving passive-aggressively and you'll pay for it later on. Either way, plan something soon to make up for it. Do whatever it was you were going to do with her, but do it on another night as soon as possible. Or, do something mellow now and do something big next weekend."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

NWFlyer 2 #6 June 12, 2006 Call her out on her passive-aggressive behavior. And still plan something."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

NWFlyer 2 #9 June 12, 2006 Quotesoz i didnt get the first bit - do you mean lek neutralise it by playing along? That sometimes works oh to plan something ultra quick ... No, just say something like "I know you said you weren't bothered, but I know it was important to you that I be here for your birthday, so here, I planned [whatever] to make up for it." I just don't believe in rewarding passive-aggressive, drama-queenish behavior by letting it fester. Get stuff out in the open. (I recently had a friendship mostly end because our last conversation was him saying "If you don't understand why I'm so angry I'm not going to tell you." Mkay ... I'm not a mind reader and I'm not going to be held hostage by someone who expects me to be one.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forget to get her something at the store BAM she brings it up. Best bet is to build a time machine and go back and fix this, thats the only logical solution.

IanHarrop 42 #12 June 12, 2006 I think his best bet is to save what ever money he's thinking of spending on a gift for the old girl friend and spend it on drinks for the new one he's going to need.

She is saying it's all good, but as soon as there is a disagreement it is going to get thrown in your face.

Anyways i can make this better? Thanks. I'm confused about your post...you did an extra jump and didn't get back "in time"...did you miss a celebration at her house or a restaurant? if not, why didn't you spend time with her after jumping and take her somewhere nice...could've been an opportunity to make it up to her. Not everyone holds grudges, perhaps you can do something extra special like a hotair balloon ride and champagne brunch or something... Regardless, good luck. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She may not be the type that does that...all women are not like that. I would be mad NOW and never bring it up again. What I'm looking at here is this: he must know he did the wrong thing or HE wouldn't be thinking about it biting him in the ass later. The best thing is: if he feel a BIT guilty about it (he does, cause he posted here) he should do something nice for her ASAP (like now, while he's reading posts! )~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

tigra 0 #25 June 12, 2006 "No worries" could really mean just that. Face it, by staying behind to jump when you knew you would be late or miss whatever B-Day celebration was going on, you let her know exactly where she is on your priority list. Maybe she's OK with that because you aren't any higher on her list. And if you're really sorry, say so and try to make it up to her. just be sincere. Not all women hold grudges like that.
