Hey I just had to write this down, makes me feel better somehow... Anyway, my girlfriend just threw me out of her parents house, I went over to visit her, then we ended up falling out because I suggested we went to mine instead. I told her I didn't feel like staying at hers tonight but that we could go back to mine instead. She asked why, my big mistake was telling her. Her mother is the most patronising, hypocritical, overly opinionated woman on the planet and I've grit my teeth about it for so long and I just couldn't take anymore. So I told my gf that I thought her mum should sometimes not always say the things that she says to me...

Immediatly she was really ****ed at me, I could tell, then she says I should just stop speaking and get out. She storms past me on the stairs and runs into her parents where I could just hear her saying "No i'm not ok" and sobbing, so I sharpish got out of the house before her mother could come and give verbal to me...

Thing is now I don't know wtf is going on, I love her and would do anything for her... isn't it a fact that mother in laws are usually a pain in the ass?

Anyway, most pointless thread ever. sorry :(
 
Women are stupid. You did pick the wrong time, and method, to talk to her about her mum though.
 
You did right by telling it, but should have put it a better way.

Let things calm down and apologise, sit together and talk it out.
 
I know the feeling but I just keep quiet, on a bonus side for you, you should be able to pick up a cheap set of flowers tomorrow for your gf as the beginings of an apology.

"Do you ever think your mam is a patronising hypocritical pain in the butt at times?"....

"oh you dont.... nah me either!"

"anyway, change of subject, can i feel your boobs?"

thats how it shoulda went
 
Well, you said it and you deserve praise for being honest at least. I have always been. Hopefully it will work out for the better if she sees your point and understands you. SHould you say sorry? I don't know. Maybe flowers. Could have been more subtle/
 
Buying flowers leaves you totally open to allowing yourself to be the victim.

You need to apologise, but keep your stance.
Yeah I see your point, but don't you think if I go over there and apologise and then still say, "oh but I did mean what I said about your mum" ... there'd be tears before bedtime?

You have to be tactful. Asking her to hear you out is probably the best bet. Explain how you were out of order (even if you believe you were not), before explaining calmly, with examples, the problem with her mother.

It's a big negotiation exercise ;)
