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 :(
 
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?
 
I know it's mothers day an' all... but I did try to be tactful this evening, I said to her basically " I don't like it when your mother tells me where to park, it's my car and I'll park it where I like, I don't need her telling me." And also I think the other thing I said was "just because she doesn't think it's a good idea to stay inside and watch the rugby when it's sunny... I'll ****ing do what I want to, it's none of her business..." actually, now you mention it, those weren't really tactful sentences... reckon I should give her a call?
 
You don't reckon she'll have made a decision to just get rid of me by tomorrow do you? or you think that actually giving her tonight is the best thing? I did send her a message on facebook but I'm doubtful that I'll hear back from it. I just don't want her thinking I'm a complete ****er just because of this relatively minor ( in my eyes ) fall out.

How long have you been seeing each other for?

4 months, see each other every day as well, for at least 5 or 6 hours each day :(
 
Well to be fair you don't need to have to put up with belittling comments from someone for very long to find out what kind of person they are... Her mother said I was being " not very nice" just because I didn't want to have food with their family from the chip shop... how pathetic is that for example? Telling me where I can and can't park on the public road outside the property not blocking the drive... Telling me where I should and shouldn't be taking her daughter... And one of my pet hates is people who boast. Now my dad is in a £50,000 + a year job, he lives in a house that was valued at £700,000 and do I ever brag about it? No. Whereas her mothers only nice thing she has is a mercedes-benz and she feels the ******* need to constantly remind everyone how she has a mercedes and that it's better than X, Y and Z cars. Really drives me mad.
 
No I don't want things to end just because her mother was being an ass. I'm not going out with her mother am I... Besides, she looks and acts absolutely nothing like her mum! :)
 
How old are you if you dont mind me asking?

21 mate, and we did compromise on the weather thing, first we went out shopping and crap, and sat out in the garden for ages, then we went and watched the Wales match ... I just have the view that it's nothing to do with her mother what we do.
 
Well, this is the worst time now, I can't ring her up because she will probably be arsy, or even refuse to pick up... Which means I won't get a wink of sleep tonight.

You cant take the "Im dating her, not her mum" stance unfortunately.

In the future, it WILL impact your relationship at some point as it is something you will allways see differently on.

Hmm, I suppose you're right, if she decides she still wants things to work then I'll have to make more of an effort to just bite my tongue regarding her mother... although I don't know what's happening now seeing as she ran straight off to mummy to tell her what I'd said... :(
 
Youre welcome

To be honest, I really wouldnt think about it too much. Her mums annoying..full stop. Deal with it. In 5+ years as people are talking about.. if you guys are still happy together..then surely her mum wont even be an issue.. you'll probably have your own place! I know mums are a pain.. my boyfriend is living with me too but he's learned to just accept her occasional moods and just deal with it. It wont be for long and it keeps everyone happy.

Really dont worry about it too much.. I know it feels like everything when she wont speak to you but get a good nights sleep and go and see her tomorrow. Girls just want to be appreciated and loved and yes they do have their unexplainable retard moods.. shes upset because you insulted her mother.. so just make her realise how much you care about her and say that you will spend all your time at hers if she wants just to be with her.. just tell the gf that you dont really hate her mum but you really crave time alone with her because you care about her soo deeply and love being with her. Then give her a huge hug and say sorry. should work!

and if you cant sleep.. familyguynow.com

Thanks for cheering me up anyway :) really nice post :) I'll give her a call tomorrow afternoon and then hopefully meet up with her in the evening to sort everything out :)
 
Gimpymoo, I know she's at least told them what I said about the mother. I hope she still wants to carry on seeing me but I suppose right now I shouldn't worry about it because it's out of my hands now. I guess all I can do is try and apologise to her tomorrow if she'll speak to me. Hopefully it'll go well, although i have this sinking feeling that there'll be a "Dumped" thread on here tomorrow :-/
 
I didn't say spending time with my gf is crap, I said shopping is. BTW if I wasn't overdrawn I'd do the flowers thing, but I am broke, so can't :( I'll think of something anyway :) and yeah whoever posted about "some balls" is right. I do know that I'm in the right here, I'm not going to say sorry for saying that stuff about her mum, but I will apologise about the upset and the way I worded it all. I just thought that honesty would be better than pretending to be all nicey nice but really hating the bloody woman.
 
Go round with a bunch of flowers and knock the door.

When your girlfriend answers, smile and say "I'm sorry. I was out of order."

As she reaches for the flowers, step forward into the house. She'll move backwards on instinct while attempting to grasp them.

Once you're safely inside, close the door behind you (facing her the whole time) and let loose with the hidden squirter you have amidst the bunch. The squirter should be filled with hot sauce.

While your girlfriend reels, yell like a maniac "WoooOOOooWOWOoooo!". This will attract her mother.

When the mother arrives in the hallway, drop the flowers and run at her. Clothesline her to the floor, followed by a fully theatrical People's Elbow.

After this, lift her slowly up by the hair and lead her to the stairs, segueing into a spinning piledriver.

Now open the door to reveal you've parked on the front lawn.

Bitches won't **** with your **** again.

That's hilarious :p :D
