Maybe you would have ignored your girlfriend, but I don't...

Maybe that's why you don't have a girlfriend.

She just wanted to communicate with you but you basically told her to fuck off and drew attention to her and did treat her like a five year old, okay so she was seeking attention but there's no need to embarass her for it.

And like heaves says, you should say sorry in return and admit that you were the bigger asshole (even if it's not true) because it'll spiral towards you both telling each other 'I love you' and then some reconcilitary sex.

And it was pretty clear from her apology that she was taking the piss out of you not liking being interrupted during films.

What the hell are you talking about man? Did you even read what I wrote?!?! I gave her every oppotunity to 'communicate' with me. Once with a look, again by asking her quietly "what?", and then again by stopping the movie and again asking her "what?" I have no way of telling what she is trying to say. For all I know she is trying to tell me to turn the volume up, or pause it so she can go use the restroom, or turn the lights on.... I don't know unless she says anything... WHICH SHE DIDN'T!!!

Ok, let's throw another spin on it. What would you have done? Nothing? While she is poking you in the side. Do you just pretend like you didn't feel it?

Or do you turn around and look at her and see what she says? (Which I did.) And when she says nothing. What do you do? Ignore her?

Or ask her "What?" (which I did) Then when she still doesn't say anything, but is still poking you. What do you do? Ignore her?

Let's hear what you would do, ya bunch of fucking smart asses. It was plainly clear to 3/4 of the room that my reaction were normal civil actions that anyone would have done. Actually 100\% of the room agrees with me, since when I asked the 1/4 that got pissed off what she would have done, she replied "I guess the same thing."

So if you are unable to comprehend the situation, then shut your god damn trap.

The facts are, I was right! She apologized, I still got laid, and everything is hunky fucking dory. So the topic is closed for discussion. Problem solved. I was right. Your idiot comments aren't going to change that.

Chicks can be as subtle and silly as they want to be, but they have no excuse to get pissy if it goes over someone's head.

Jim took a perfectly logical series of actions in the situation. Apparently, even the chick isn't upset about it anymore (and acknowledges that she shouldn't have been to start with). You're the only one with the problem.

She could care less if I paused the movie. I do it all the time because I only have 30\% hearing in my right ear because of mortar round going off right next to me in the Marine Corps.

I thought she was pointing at her drink on the coffee table, but she wasn't. So I was trying to get her to tell me what she wanted. She didn't. So I paused the movie. AT THIS POINT SHE ISN'T MAD AT!!! NOT IN THE LEAST!!! ZERO!!! ZILCH!!! SHE'S HAPPY!!! GOT IT??? GOT IT??? UNDER-FUCKING-STAND YET! Shit!

It wasn't till after I said "What?" she said nothing. I looked at Fred and Kellye who seemed baffled. I said to them "Don't look at me, she was pointing or something." and I made a gesture and probably a face. THAT'S WHAT PISSED HER OFF. Even after I had paused the movie and said "What?" If she had even said aloud "Nevermind." I would have pressed play and she wouldn't be mad, and I wouldn't have to explain this to you like a 5 year old.

No no no no no no no no no no no!

That kind of whippedness leads toward conversations like below at age 50.

Jims wife: Honey are you ok?
Jim: Yes dear its only minor fractures.
Jims wife: Well why were you standing in front of the car?
Jim: I was in the yard but I must have been in the way, im sorry honey. Its my fault. I deserve the internal bleeding for being in your way.

after reading jim's description of the situation, i find that his actions are COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED.

if someone is poking the shit out of you in the middle of a movie, and you ask them "what?", you deserve a response. if they don't respond, pausing the movie to ask them what the hell is so important is perfectly justifiable.

starting a fight with them is not, and neither is waiting until you're just about to go to sleep to make a comment about the entire relationship. those comments belong in discussions where both parties are open, honest, and communicative.

write it in the history books, i agree with how jim handled something. stick to your guns dude, she's wrong this time.

I think apologizing would have been nice but not necessary. Women being subtle is really stupid. I say if you want attention- ask for attention dont bother going about it by way of New Jersey.

Glad that you cleared things up with her Jim. She was wrong and should have just told you straight out what she wanted to show you. Good for you not backing down
