Whipped.

With all due respect - hardly.

He says he will get back in contact, she (one assumes) acts on this promise for him to forget.

I think she has a right to be a little annoyed and I also think that she is owed an apology. As I said, not the crime of the century - she is ok now and all appears to be well.

Are we looking at the same thread?

The lad is clearly vexed, has grovelled and it still isn't enough - and all for what, a simple bit of absent mindedness?

Bitch needs to get over herself, world doesn't revolve around her; if he thinks it does, or buys into this brat-ish behaviour (which would imply that he thinks it does), then he's seriously whipped

She also appears to know he's a sensitive soul, and is clearly being manipulative about the matter - anyone that puts up with that kind crap is doubly whipped

Girls like actions.

Say you're sorry. But do something to show it. Say you're sorry you forgot that night so you're going to dedicate a night to her. Doesn't have to be expensive, maybe invite her over to yours, cook her dinner and then watch a film together. Something small like that to show you're sorry.

It seems to be resolved now but just for future problems. Sorry is good and all but there is nothing better than doing something to prove your apology.

Also, as for some explanation of why she got into more of a tizz about it than she should, remember you don't always see the full picture. You mentioned she has a bad home life, maybe she was having a really crap day and was feeling really down . You make her feel good and she loves talking to you, so the fact she knew you were coming online to speak to her was really going to put her in a good mood and make her feel better about everything. Then you didn't come online and she felt forgotten.

I think if you consider that it's not just her being over the top about something and start to think that maybe there was a reason this was an issue, you'll understand why she was upset.

Tell her to stop being so controlling and you do have a life outside her...

Ignore until she realises her little sulk isn't doing anything, she'll forget all about it once shes bored.

I thought he left her in a dog house, then i'd understand, but because he didn't get back straight away she's pissed, I'd be pissed off at her for overreacting. I would say, sorry, was watching tv as politeness, like I would do with anyone else.

Aye, I don't mind people giving me a piece of their mind if they feel I've neglected their needs but things like going offline abruptly or hanging up the phone = immature and disrespectful

Hopefully - or else something has gone wrong somewhere.

I think some clarification is needed:

So she'd just said hmph and got offline.

I am not sure whether this means that the OP returned to his computer, tried to talk at which point she buggered of, or whether it means that upon his return she had already gone offline, leaving the "hmph" message.

Either way, I still maintain that he is not 'whipped.' He has not really grovelled, as you say. He text her explaining and apologised, which is perfectly reasonable.

I would not be best pleased if I was waiting for someone and they were still not around 1 and a half hours after they should have been. I don't think I would launch into a "TV is more important than me" tirade, but at the same time we do not know how the OP's girlfriend reacted - did she say it in an angry way? Was she screaming down the phone? We just do not know.

The result was that the next morning, she was fine. She did not demand blood or anything of that sort. She just got annoyed and then calmed down.

I don't think that the OP is whipped for apologising to his girlfriend after he did something wrong, albeit something quite minor, and then just letting her get over it.

This seems more likely now I've looked at it again, didn't notice it was past tense, oups!

The whole tone of the post, and the fact that he's bothered enough to post on here, is grovelicious soz

One would hope not, but however she communicated it, if she's being all off with him over a simple mistake and he's having any of it then to my mind he's whipped. People are dying in the world yo

So yeah...do I just let her cool off?

She's over reacting. Just leave her to realise that you've done nothing wrong and hopefully she'll apologise, because she should really.

[xoxjubixox]

Erm... right. From a woman's perspective: I can understand a little huff as she was expecting you back, but nothing that's working being (very mildly annoyed) about for more than about 2 minutes. Yeah, you were meant to go and talk to her, yeah you forgot. She's going on about how she "obviously comes second"? She's acting like she was in labour or something and you decided to watch TV instead of going to go with her. Seriously, it's an real over reaction. If she's getting stressed about it, just remind her how important she is to you, and it was an honest mistake. If she's still pissed just give her a bit of space for a while... she'll soon realise how trivial the whole thing is. Don't let her control you. Too much control on any side of a relationship is bad, it needs to be balanced.

Good luck!
