Women!!

What is it with women!!
Today i booked a nice weekend away for myself and the girlfriend as a surprise because we are together 5 years soon. I left her a voicemail to let her know the dates and name of the hotel we were going thinking it would be a nice surprise for her...

Low and behold i get a voicemail back a while ago and shes having a go at me saying i should have talked to her first before i booked amd that there was nothing to do in the place we were going...

After my inital shock that she could be so unappreciative i decided i'd stick a vote up here to see what you all think..

So that said should i have organised with her the dates and location of the trip or was i being a gent by organising the whole thing..

I'm a man, She was right to moan about it.

Dump her,how ungrateful can they be!!!!!!!!

Its a catch 22, you cant win. You do a nice gesture, you get shouted at for not consulting her. You dont do it, she calls you unthoughtful, you consult her about it then somewhere down the line it'll be brought up in an arguement over how indecisive you are.

Ah hell that was MEAN :eek: ...
Nah, you were a gent, spontaneous in other words...but maybe she just isn't that type, doesn't like surprises.

Hum nothing to do in the place? lol

thats the biggest brushoff i have ever seen...what was she planning on doing on a romantic holiday?

So what was her big problem? Was there something important she had to do during those dates?

My god, that's one ignorant girlfriend you got there!

Feck sake, you go out and surprise her with a lovely trip away, and she gets pissed off at you! Totally ungrateful, she is!

Not all women are like that!

ooh my god!! what a silly cow!! - should she not be just happy that you get to spend some quality time together? (and I'm sure on a w/e away like that you could provide your own entertainment!!)

*sigh* I want a guy to bring me away for a w/e....

That isn't exactly the best way to a woman anything why didn't you just say call me back. Anyway women are so unpredicatble, isn't this the sort of lovey dovey crap their supposed to like. I asked a babe one time did she wanna make out after chatting for like 2 hrs and i got me drink all over me ! Women tell them they look handsome even when they look like a truck, and well :rolleyes:

I think that's a great, spontaneous, romantic thing you did and she sounds a
bit ungrateful..

But what do I know, I'm a guy.

Yeah agree on that one...that was not the way to do it man...voicemail!!? You should have sat down with her on a nice evening when you can tell shes not in a pissy humour or bring her out for a meal....but from what she did? She doesn't deserve it!

AAARRRGGGHHHH???!!!! YOU DON'T ASK!!! god boys are sooo bloody stoopid, and each day they prove it even further....
(sorry to go off the point, but It'll dirve me nuts otherwise) - if you talked to her for 2 hours, why didn't you just lean forward and go for the kiss, why the hell did you have to ask??

Silverfish · 23-05-2005 10:43PM

I think you did a good thing, and she's mental.

On the other hand, I'd be pretty infuriated to find out by voicemail - hard to make a romantic gesture in such an impersonal way....eh, can't quite explain it but it's annoying.

BUT!!! She could have said 'Did you have to do it by voicemail??' not moaned about where you were taking her.

That was a nice gesture, but phone her this time and say you're bringing someone else who'll appreciate it. The personal touch that means so much, and so on.

you reckon shed be a little more grateful after you going to the trouble of booking a nice trip for her, id have loved a surprise trip myself tbh

she'll probably give out now that youve discussed the issue over the internet next

Your girlfriend acted like a Nazi. She's not like that all the time is she?

Go with your best mate instead.

No no the voicemail was not the problem, i tried ringing her a couple of times and i wanted it to be surprise because i wont see her all this week. How in gods name does a voicmail give her an excuse to moan about the trip?

Oh and by the way if she reads this tomorrow there will probably be murder,
So anyone (Female) want to join me for a short break in a luxury suite in july??

Sorry misses..

Silverfish · 23-05-2005 10:53PM

Okay, so the voicemail wasn't the problem.
You want opinions, I was just saying it wouldn't be my ideal way of finding out.

No shes not usually like this..
Shes like most woman she has her moments but never like this..
She'll get over it when she realises that its a suite in a 4 star hotel..

I'm a woman, She was right to moan about it.

how old is she? Is she one of those people who hate the countryside and doesn't give something a chance purely because they don't like the unknown? she still sounds like an unappreciative cow to me...

what exactly did she say about there not being anything to do there? Did she say thanks at all??

Ah come on now!
I was after organising a nice break away, putting in the effort, and i was on my break from work i tried to ring her and i just got her voicemail after everything i had done surely a trivial thing like a voicemail shouldnt annoy somebody..

When i rang her she managed to force out a thank you at the end..

Shes the same age as me 23.. No she likes the countryside like myself..
Its in tullamore, now i know its not exactly new york city or anything but surely there are a few pubs and things!!

Silverfish · 23-05-2005 11:03PM

Eh, listen, I already said it was a good thing and a nice gesture.

Can't ask for opinions then argue with people who differ even slightly!!
I just said that I personally would not like to find out by voicemail, and you won't change my opinion on that.

I never said she was completely right, I said she was mental. You said the issue was not with the voicemail, so leaving that out, I'm backing you up.

WOMEN!!!! :rolleyes:

Silverfish · 23-05-2005 11:07PM

Then DON'T ASK!!

MEN!!!!!

jesus_thats_gre · 23-05-2005 11:17PM

I choose both wrong... But the lions share lies with her..

I personally would have told her I booked it while not actually booking it..

Depending on her reaction (she might have something on over the dates you arranged that just cannot be missed) whent old, I would either decide to book or not book it straight after you break it to her.

I am so bad at explaining myself!!!

OY · 23-05-2005 11:20PM

I'm a man, She was right to moan about it.

I think that it was pretty selfish reaction. i mean even if it is not New York as you said, it is still a weekend away.
I do nto blame you for being angry about this. I would!

Squall · 23-05-2005 11:27PM

Typical. Women complain men aren't considerate. We try to do something considerate and they turn around and act like it was inconsiderate. You cant win.

Dizzyblabla · 23-05-2005 11:28PM

I'm a woman, She was right to moan about it.

what I would do is google the area, the hotel, email her pics, if she doesn't do email, then print them out, do an inventory of things that you can do... if she still moans, DUMP HER! soo not worth your effort at all!

Silverfish · 23-05-2005 11:33PM

There's a 4 star hotel in Tullamore?? WTF? GTF!!!

Plenty to do in Tullamore. I think most of it has to do with drink, but still. Hey, is the Harriers still open?? I still have my membership card from 10 years ago.

Third_Echelon · 23-05-2005 11:38PM

She needs to be taught a lesson..

Get a refund on the weekend and hotel etc and buy her an xbox as an anniversary present.....

that'll show her....
