Here is the story.

I have been eyeing up dalbello blenders this season for the past couple months due to their larger last in a new age 3 piece boot design. Currently i am riding with some SPK's that arent really meeting my needs as far as boots go, they get incredibly soft by the end of the day and cannot keep my heel in the pocket. I found a pair of blenders in my size in a city that is about 4 hours drive from where i live right now, and have been planning for 2 weeks to head out there this weekend to try them on and possibly buy them if they work on my wide feet. Last week i mentioned my plans to my girlfriend to go to that city and try on those boots and she said she wanted to come with me and just go for a road trip basically, which is fine so i agreed that it would be fun with her. She has no interest in skiing and hates the fact that i go skiing with my friends and we typically dislike having new skiers come out with us because it will slow the group down and we have limited space in our cars. The problem lies with the fact i talked to my girlfriend yesterday and mentioned that I am excited to get to try on those boots this weekend and she replied with " i dont think i can go this weekend, I have a paper due next week" or something along those lines. I dont mind the fact that she cannot go, as I have another skier buddy who already has expressed that he wants to go if she cannot, which i mentioned to my girlfriend who then went into emo mode and was very upset that I would go without her to get these boots as she wanted to tag along for the road trip. The problem I am having is that the shop has 1 pair in my size left, and it looks like dalbello is not making blenders again next year which to means its a do or die if i want to try on these boots and my chance could be lost if i keep delaying my trip out to scope them out. She ended up getting pretty emotional and upset with the whole situation and said " do what you think is best" and our conversation in regards to this issue stopped at that point. I have been dating this girl for a while and she does have a tendency to do this type of reaction if she does not get her way, and will act childish in trying to resolve the issue aswell. I had mentioned to her that we could just go to the city later on but she expressed the notion that "we wont" and that she " doesnt want to go later". This is just a basic explaination of the situation.

Im wondering how NS feels, would you go with your friend? would you wait for the girlfriend? Am i in the wrong in this situation?

after reading it, this.


your gf is being a major bitchcock buddy. she sounds like she acts like she's super entitled and owns you....if she has to write a paper then wtf does she care if you go and try on the boots with a male friend of yours? that's so stupid and childish. tell her you really need to go check them out this weekend and you'd much rather she come with you but you understand that she's busy so you're bringing a friend to trade off the driving with.

and then pee in her butt. jk. but seriously do it. you better do it. furiously.

sounds like what you think is best is to go cop those boots. You're definitely not in the wrong either. I have always made it known to my girlfriend that she is going to see significantly less of me between november and april. Since she understood going into the relationship that skiing is a huge priority for me, we don't usually have problems when I barely see her at all during the season.

What positive assets does she bring to your relationship? What attributes does she have that compliment your personality?

Incredibly i read that novel you wrote...

My ex used to act like that on occasion, so i would just teach her a lesson and have my way whether she liked it or not, and believe me, they learn fast and her childishness will die down after you do this to her a couple of times. so tell your going to get those boots with your friend. but say it nicelly.

then when you get back, bang her and "wrong hole her" to fully teach her a lesson. joke

Yea, she is twisting shit up.

You need to make it clear: you were going to go look at those boots before she was going to come along. Your purpose was solely to go and look at those boots. Having her for the ride just makes it more enjoyable (saying it like that though will piss her off). Other friend wants to go, so I figure why not. THIS IS ABOUT THE BOOTS.


If she is trying to make you feel bad for going without her, then you need to lay down the fucking law. If she bucks, fuck her, because that will probably only get worse.


So I am not saying anything new in here. To answer your question: yes, you are in the right. She is just being stupid.

This is the type of girl I like to call a skiblocker AKA a cockblocker to skiing. Get the boots man. You really wanna be with a girl that acts like she owns you for the rest of your life?

She's ridiculous. Just being dramatic. There is no reasoning. I did this exact thing last week.

Having read a fair number of your posts, I think that you are a pretty logical person. I dont think you're in the wrong, just go get the boots this weekend then ask if you and her can spend the weekend next weekend, surprise her with a road trip to somewhere. I am sure she would be happy, if not then she has issues.

Or if things are desperate go, get the boots, then, leave for 3 months. come back and say you where kidnapped by ninjas.
