Girlfriends who text nonsense and too many phone calls

who007 · 13-01-2009 12:44pm #1

When will they realise we don't want texts to tell us they lost a contact lens/ate a pizza for dinner/ ask us how lunch was (in the middle of the working day)?
Why do they wonder if there's something wrong if, after a full day of e-mailing back and forth, we don't call them for a chat that evening?
WHY, do they call, talk for an hour, then when hanging up say they will call later to say goodnight?!
Why do they think we have any interest in the new dress they are going to buy?
What is this thing about having to be in CONSTANT touch all the time and why don't they realise it means we start to dread hearing from them and start thinking about breaking up?

Stop dating psycho's...

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 13-01-2009 12:46pm

Don't go in for that ****. GFs, friends and mates are trained VERY early on that I can live for up to ten days without once looking at a mobile, and snailmail is generally quicker than email with me.

It's not just me - I have seen the same thing with at least 2 friends in work (therefore a cross section of guys cos no other link between us)

well youve got the pot and the bunny.....

Latchy · 13-01-2009 12:47pm

It's when they stop texting you and turn their attention to somebody else ,you'll miss it then .

And if you turn the mobile off to get away from it all they're just short of calling the gardai because they were "worried".

Note: They arent actually going to call the 5-O of course,they just want to make such a big deal of you being incommunicado that you'll never try it again

wow 3 people

that's a huge cross section of society lol

maybe your job attracts the sort of person who would normally date a psycho..

like finance..or morketing..;)

Mr.David · 13-01-2009 12:49pm

Because meteor to meteor texts are free?

Nothing like a good 'ol fashioned recession to sort that out

Sounds like a new relatioship. Is she in her early 20's? This will all die down once she gets to know you and see's you're a moany git!

Abi · 13-01-2009 12:50pm

Why do you have to take it out on the internet? :-(

a) send her a link to this thread, enlighten her.

b) Red card her.

do you mean die down or break up with him because he doesnt understand here need's at the point being that shes about as needy and stable as dog that just lost a leg ?

Mr.David · 13-01-2009 12:54pm

Why do they think we have any interest in the new dress they are going to buy?

Because you're probably paying for it and can give your bank a heads up so they can move some cash around to cover it?:D

ha! no - nearly a year - was ok at first but it hasn't stopped - and apart from the 2 other guys in work general feedback from others, including a married mate, is that this is par for the course with a majority of women.
What's moany about wanting to have a life where I can do something on my own or be aloone for 6 hours of a day without having a text asking me what I am doing? It gets kinda annoying! And yes I have brought it up - but was told "but I hardly get to see you" as a reason.
Anyway - you defend the stupidity of texting someone to tell them you just ate a pizza?? Gimme your num,ber and I will tell you my day as it unfolds and see how long you last before hiring a hitman..!:cool:

No no no. You will not be getting my number. I'm an adult and didnt need to know what my ex was doing every min of the day.

All i'm saying is, she seems a bit young? Maybe this is her first serious relationship and she's a bit excited? Ah i dont know, i grew out of that phase years and years ago.

With all due respect, if it is such an offence then why go out with here, or will it just be the gripe du jour on AH?

The simple fact is that it boils down to two things.

1) Your inability to communicate effectively with your girlfriend. Have you tried telling her that you don't need that much contact? Maybe try actually talking to her about THAT instead of nodding your head and falling asleep.

2) She is just the type of person who enjoys a lot of contact with her other half and you are unwilling to accomadate her in the small area.

Also, the mistake you made here was saying "we". Not all men are the same, personally i ****ing love chatting to my girlfriend.

Yeah I get where you're coming from, but sadly no - nearly 30. But I used to get the same frmo prevuious gf's so it's not just her - and I see it in mate's gf's too (some to much higher a degree than others - i.e. one friend I play golf with gets a call, and I am not joking(!!) every 30 - 45 minutes!- they are in their mid thirties.. - sorry punctuatiuon went mad there, seem to have lost all concept in my Ronnie Corbett story telling style.

Look, the Simpsons have done the whole "being straight is ghey" thing in that fantastic childish method too many times for it to be even remotely funny anymore.

A bit of originality really wouldn't hurt mate.:D

who007 wrote: »

LoL, your bitching about an issue that is very easy to solve mate. It's not one of those funny, generic things where everyone will come in and go "yeah, that SO ****ing true, lol, OP , you are SUCH a funny ****er", it's just a tiny relationship problem that you are allowing to grow way out of bat simply because you lack the ability to directly communicate what's important to you....and the humour lacks snap because most other people are able to talk to their partner.

This type of thing is only funny at a Comedy Festival and only if people have paid to hear your special brand of generalisations.

Until then, i will be sticking with my "poor diddums" line of posting.

Dave147 · 13-01-2009 1:10pm

Agree with Dragan, I love getting a text off my GF, brightens up my day no matter what, don't mind if she complains about something etc, I genuinely like texting/talking to her!

armour87 · 13-01-2009 1:12pm

I've got a mate who gets the call at least once an hour. It's actually shocking the rate at which she rings to chat absolute nonsense. The poor pussy puts up with it though.

13-01-2009 1:12pm

Sounds like you just attract dim women who have very little to do all day than text their moany boyfriend. Next time, try finding someone with a job who doesn't wear contact lenses or eat pizza.

My x girlfriend was like that rang me for like three hours atthe end of the day she stoped doe when she got the phone bill for the first two months ha ha

It depended on my mood how long i would text her back for she text me every hour i was still in school so that was my excuse back then all woman like to talk more than men but saying that the guy every half an hour is crazy

Wibbs · 13-01-2009 1:16pm

Never bothered me tbh. My last long termer was a master of texting 3 or 4 a day in work and maybe 4 in the evenings and that was a slow day. I'd figure she'd been run over if I didn't hear from her every 3 hours.:D I didn't mind. Actually liked it tbh. meh
