Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About

    I think we've all been hit by some (if not all) of those. All this stuff (and a whole lot more) was on a website that some guy who's g/f had gone psychopathic - he had restraining orders and all sorts of stuff taken out against her.

    I particularly despise the "watching a film" one cause my ex used to do that ALL the time. After we broke up, we went to one film along with a big group and after a half hour when she kept asking questions (and knowing we were the only people in the cinema) I screamed at her to:
    "Shut the fluck up and watch the bloddy film - if you open your flucking eye and ears and try to keep up you'll let the rest of us who have actually come to WATCH the film enjoy it in peace!!!"
    everyone else (including some girls) turned 'round and said "Yeah!"

    She got up and left and we were happy smile.gif

    Didn't talk to me for a while - I don't care - everyone there agreed with me so she grudgingly admitted she was wrong one night when we were out.

    TAKE IT EX GIRLFRIENDS!!!



    All the best!

She says she does, but years of bitter experience have proven that what she actually wants is to sit by me while I narrate the entire bleeding film to her. "Who's she?", "Why did he get shot?", "I thought that one was on their side?", "Is that a bomb" - "JUST WATCH IT! IN THE NAME OF GOD, JUST WATCH IT"!

    ah the peace of mind knowing that I am not suffering alone from most the above.
    Absurd does not come into it, a difference of opinions which you have to listen to and even though its "merely" a difference of opinion you are informed that you are pigheaded, stubborn and always want to be right.

    "No, just this time!"
    At this point my friends start betting on the duration of my relationship with mygirlfriend.

    hmmm, well, personally that wouldnt bother me. but each to their own. of course, if i complained the she spent too much time in the gym woudl result in a lecture on the time i spend on the pc. hmm, interesting statistics dear, have you been thinking of them for a while eh?

    as for the tv thing......
    grrrrrr.


    mind you, id love to see my ex put up something about me. im sure it would less than flaterring.
    sometimes i wonder how we manage to live together for so long.
    and when you break up all you think about is getting back together. and after that all you think of is getting someone else, except someone who doesnt moan as much.
    i guess its all a 'culling' experience. you find out what annoys you and every time you get a girlfriend you make sure she has none of those qualities smile.gif

    You can read all the rest of it here:
    Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About - its hilarous.

    Also, there was a bit of a stink when the daily mail (that icon of the blue rinse brigade) stole it and reprinted it.

    The old cliche "All women are the same" is starting to come to light on this thread. I had myself one of those really different girls, the ones that aren't the same as the rest, but over the course of four years I managed to learn one thing. YES, ALL WOMEN ARE THE SAME!! The firt couple of years (if you get that far) start out blissfully, and you tink that this is really the girl, she's the one I want, she's good for me. But in the end you realise that it's all a trick, and that your different girl is really just a regular woman. "Where were you? I've been waiting ages for you!!" "Well now you know how it feels, so try putting yourself in my position next time you're getting ready." Answers like this don't generally go down too well with the lady folk.
    It's always the same. It starts out great, the reason you get with them I suppose, and it's only a matter of time ( depending on the lady in questions personal attributes for not wanting to do your head in over every little thing) before they end up needy, naggy and clingy.
    Having said all that I'm not sure if that's how I really feel about women. They are also great and noble, and alot of the time all they have is your best interests at heart, like "you're drinking too fast" in most cases is probably true, or "don't spend your money on that, you need to save it" etc...etc... .
    If there's any ladies reading this I hope I didn't offend you, but you have to find a new way of dealing with your boyfriends. How about eg. instead of nagging him to go home the next time you see him having fun and you're not, and want to go home, you either a)just leave him alone and let him have a good time. He will come back to you, to see if you also are having a good time (if he doesn't then maybe you shouldn't be going out with him ). Then is when you should voice your feelings, but not in a nag tone, cause once a man (me anyway) hears a naggy voice, all he wants to do is get stubborn, but he can't do that because he has to do the gentlemanly thing (which I agree with by the way) and cater for his lady and go home with her feeling slightly ****ed off that he's leaving a good night behind. Or b) Approach him without a ****ed off looking face, and voice your desire to go home in a non naggy voice. You'll be surprised at the effects this can have, when you talk to him like he's not a posession of yours to do as you want with.
    OOOPPPSS!! I didn't mean to write that much. I was just going for a simple comment and I got a bit carried away. I have plenty more to say on this topic but I think I'll spare you all from any more of ramblings. Anyway ladies, try not nagging and being nice instead. It'll improve your relationship times ten and your boyfriend will begin to appear as if he wants to be spending all that time with you.

    The way one should cut a Kiwi Fruit in half (along its length or across the middle).
    Leaving the kitchen door open (three times a day that one, minimum).

    The best way to hang up washing.

    Those little toothpaste speckles you make when you brush your teeth in front of the mirror.

    I eat two-fingered Kit-Kats like I'd eat any other chocolate bars of that size, i.e., without feeling the need to snap them into two individual fingers first. She accused me of doing this, 'deliberately to annoy her'.

    Which way - the distances were identical - to drive round a circular bypass (this resulted in her kicking me in the head from the back seat as I drove along).

    The amount of time I spend on the computer. (OK, fair enough.)

    Our telephone number.

    Which type of iron to buy (price wasn't an issue, it was the principle, damnit).

    Loads of toilet-related stuff I won't distress you with.

    Where to sit in the cinema. On those occasions when we a) manage to agree to go to the cinema together and, b) go to see the same film once we're there. (No, really).

    Shortly after every single time she touches my computer, for any reason whatsoever, I have to spend twenty minutes trying to fix crashes, locked systems, data loses, jammed drives, bizarre re-configurations and things stuck in the keyboard. There then follows a free and frank exchange of views with, in my corner, "It's your fault" and, in hers, "It's a curious statistical anomaly".

    Following on from the above; 'Pouring water into the back of my monitor every time she waters a plant, which she refuses to have moved to another, less overtly stupid, location.' Good thing, or bad thing? We have yet to reach agreement.

    She enters the room. The television is showing Baywatch. She says "Uh-huh, you're watching Baywatch again". I say "I'm not watching, it's just on". Repeat. For the duration of the programme.

    She wants to paint the living room yellow. I have not the words.

    Her fondness for stripping totally naked and going into a room with a group of equally nude men - acquaintances or total strangers, she doesn't care which - to get sweaty. Or 'a sauna', as she likes to call it.

    She doesn't like to watch films on the TV. No, hold on - let me make sure you've got the inflection here: She doesn't like to watch films on the TV. She says she does, but years of bitter experience have proven that what she actually wants is to sit by me while I narrate the entire bleeding film to her. "Who's she?", "Why did he get shot?", "I thought that one was on their side?", "Is that a bomb" - "JUST WATCH IT! IN THE NAME OF GOD, JUST WATCH IT"!
    The hellish mirror-image of this is when she furnishes me, deaf to my pleading, with her commentary. Chair-clawing suspense being assaulted mercilessly from behind by such interjections as "Hey! Look! They're the cushions we've got.", "Isn't she the one who does that tampon advert?" and, on one famous occasion, "Oh, I've seen this - he gets killed at the end."

    She thinks I'm vain because... I use a mirror when I shave. During this argument in the bathroom - our fourth most popular location for arguments, it will delight and charm you to learn - she proved that shaving with a mirror could only be seen as outrageous narcissism by saying "None of the other men I've been with" (my, but it's all I can do to stop myself hugging her when she begins sentences like that) "None of the other men I've been with used a mirror to shave."
    "Ha! Difficult to check up on that, isn't it? As all the other men you've been with can now only communicate by blinking their eyes!" I said. Much later. When She had left the house.

    What fun smile.gif

    Question: if you hang your trousers on the line by the waist-band does she tell you to hang them from the leg bottoms. And then, when you hang them by the leg bottoms tell you that you should hang them from the waist-band?

    My ex-girlfriend said that everthing other than me & her was called "BOB".

    I do mean EVERYTHING.

    From our two gerbils Bob & Bob to the saucepan, Bob, & of course her ex boyfriend Bob. He was not, incidently, irl called Bob.
    I think things came to a head when she insisted that I photograph her holding Bob the Potato. I **** you not. I may even scan it in to show you people. The world must be warned.
