Girlfriend in a huff over joke

Brian Capture

I offered to take her tampon out of her vagina with my mouth on Friday night (she's at the end of her period) and she didn't find it funny.

Went home straightaway (she lives with her parents) and won't take my calls.

Irritating.

seanybiker

She probably feels embarrassed. Going by the tags your obviously a troll

You sound perfectly matched... just as immature as eachother.

Send her a text, apologise. All you can do really. Let her have her tantrum... and try not to be so puerile with the humour next time.

Brian Capture

Can't you post a proper response without calling me a troll.

Troll = most overrused word here.

We're supposed to be going to a wedding next month, a music festival in July etc.

Together two years. Surely this is a storm in a teacup?

Brian Capture

Might send her a letter of apology.

Or else have a word with her Dad. He works in the building beside mine and I bump into him most days.

Yeah...do this. When he asks why she is pissed off, im sure the phrase "I offered to take a tampon out of your daughters vagina with my mouth" will go down a treat.

RIP BC!

a letter?

**** that, face it like a ****ing man, apologise to her, if she doesn't take that then well cut the chord.

i don't think the joke was that funny tbh, but if i was her i wouldn't act the way she's acting over it.

too many men these days act like complete cocks yet expect women to put up with it.

Brian Capture

Well she won't answer her mobile, "isn't there" when I ring the landline. I drove around earlier and she didn't open the door.

The funny thing is - if she had said 'yes - go for it' I would have done it.

I could always show her this thread in a few months if we get back together and the fuss dies down.

It is indeed.

However - You knew she was on her period, possibly a bit touchy and emotional. You still decided to make a stupid, insensitive joke.

She's overreacting, but you should have known better in the first place. It was tasteless and gross and insensitive and I wouldn't have been impressed either, if it was me. There's not a lot you can do though, except apologise. Maybe there's something else bothering her as well? Is she usually this volatile?

She lost her job before Christmas and has been looking for one ever since. I've been paying for more and more stuff recently - nights out etc and I think that's getting to her.

Thanks.

Ah, so, bad times. What was the context of the joke? Was it just out of the blue? She's most likely reading it in a way it wasn't intended. We women are brilliant at doing that

vinnyryan

1. Your joke was disgusting!
2. Not sure of the context but might your girlfriend just think your with her for sex?
3. Why would you even want to do this?

He's been with her for two years... I don't think he's just in it for the sex. Also, men who are with you just for the sex wouldn't be anywhere near you while you're having your period, never mind offering to help you with your sanitary protection issues.

And he didn't actually *want* to do it... it was a joke.

Or the excuse she's looking for. Could've picked a better one imo.

I'd be worried if she doesn't normally overreact like this? Give her time. As I said she's overreacting, bigtime. Just leave her alone for a day or so 'til she comes to her senses.

Ah that must be it then. She probably feels bad that you have to pay for everything and just took this opertunity(sp) to take her anger out on you. Sorry bout the troll comment but the tags on the thread makes the thread a bit of a joke.

I done that before one night when I was drunk and chewed on it. Sounds horrible I know but kinda dared meself to do it in me head lol.

Op, I empathise with your situation and frankly you know her form so no one here can really say it's relationship threatening or not and what you should or shouldn't do.

Guess it's down to the subjectivity of the persons involved.

Shellyboo, please see.... "The funny thing is - if she had said 'yes - go for it' I would have done it." Also, far be it from me I or you to judge the Op's relationship but all I was aiming to point out was the potential interpretations. People aren't necessarily straight forward and hence the Op's dilema.:(

Tirabaralla

Sorry but...I would be quite disgusted, no matter how long the relationship is going on for...
I don't know what you should do now but maybe try to ask her why she is cold with you now, why the joke was so bad for her (to me is quite clear, but everyone is different)...and then apologize if you think it's the right thing to do.

StormWarrior

This doesn't sound to me like the kind of thing a girl would get upset over normally. I can only think of 2 explanations:

1. She isn't happy with you, you've been upsetting her recently and finally she couldn't control her anger any more

OR

2. Have you 2 slept together yet? If she's a virgin then she might get embarrassed and horrified by that comment. I know you said you've been together 2 years but you never know....

Honestly, I really think she's upset with you for something else.

Otis Driftwood

It was just a bad taste joke.Apologise and mind your manners in future.

CaptainSkidmark

jesus any girl i know would find it disgusting but laugh at the same time.

time to grovel my friend!

Well I wouldn't go grovelling. She's being completely unreasonable.

meh..... she clearly feels very strongly about what he said.

well i suppose it would be best let her cool off

She sounds oversensitive and immature to me. Yes, it was a stupid thing to say, but what a major overreaction on her part. When my bf crosses the line (he's also fond of crude jokes), I just roll my eyes and tell him that was disgusting and he apologises. Life is way too short to be feuding over something so silly.

prinz

I still haven't seen the slightest hint of humour in what the OP said...

Why don't you crack a few more jokes from your repetoire to win her back.

Some people are very squeamish about such things.

OP, you should have the sense to know your gf is one of these people.

DSB

Just buy her a new tampon man, given the loss of job, and this ever increasing recession, she probably just didn't appreciate your overzealous methods of recycling, when she felt there was much more mileage in it.

John Mason

Complete over -reaction on the part of the girl.

at this stage if she still isnt talking to you, you are better off without the drama queen

Katgurl

jesus christ.

couple of questions:

1. why are you going out with such a ridiculous drama queen?
2. how did you not realise this after two years with her?

really stupid and disgusting ''joke'' but judging by her reaction there was probably more to it.

legend73

Above and beyond - youre unappreciated.

Dave147

Jesus some people are such babies, if I said this to my gf she'd just give me a playful slap and laugh, big difference between saying something in jest and actually wanting to do it. Lighten up!

bubblewrap

There is definately more to it than that, however it isn't the sort of thing for me that would be the icing on the cake, it is just a disgusting but funny comment. If my bf said it to me I would just call him a dirty barstool and realise that it isn't the sort of thing he would really do, it is just a very random comment!

Ain't that the truth. And I'd have gone home too, if it'd been me in her place.

See above.

Still haven't seen the slightest bit of humour in it.More of an immature thing to say really, ironic because it's now the gf who gets questioned on her maturity levels.

If I had said something like that, I'd slap myself for being a tool.

JC 2K3

It's just some blood and cotton wool...

CaptainSkidmark

i'd like to hear an update on this one

Brian Capture

we don't live together [both with respective parents] so I guess I don't really know her as well as I should.

Still silence.

Tirabaralla

Why don't u just go there and talk?
It's all quite a big nonsense (starting from your terrible joke :P).

She called over tonight and we had a chat.

Not good.

She wants us to finish up. Hasn't been happy for a long time and the tampon joke was the 'hammer that knocked the nail in'.

I can't force the girl to love me so it's curtains. Longest I've ever been with someone.

Awww...but it's absurd to take this as "excuse" to end a one year relationship!

satcie101

At least now you can stop beating yourself up over making a bad joke, she wanted to break up with you anyway

Karen09

I offered to take her tampon out of her vagina with my mouth on Friday night (she's at the end of her period) and she didn't find it funny


i think my boyfriend sums this one up '' why would you offer to do that!!?''

Why wouldn't he?

Christ if you can't have a bit of light-hearted banter with your other half without them dumping you?!? :eek::eek:

What a pathetic excuse for finishing with someone.
Count yourself lucky OP and find someone with a similar sense of humour to your own next time.

Two sides etc. It's pretty obviosu that this isnt the first time OP made a tit of himself and pissed her off, and it's probaly not the first time he's made a crude joke which she doesnt like. Obviously this was the pervebial straw etc.

Why is this in PI?
Seriously.
