So dumb and immature (REALLY long and stupid)

I'm so tired of fighting over immature things. Almost a year ago, me and my boyfriend went into a restaurant. As soon as we step in there, theres a whole bunch of loud and ghetto girls working there. So already the whole atmosphere of the place kind of turns me off. So of course my boyfriend turns to me and says "I know most of the girls workin here so don't get mad"

Alright so basically I ended up just getting mad anyways. I'll admit, it was extremely immature and I acted like a child. I'll be the first to admit that. She didn't really do anything, I was just childish and I didn't like him knowing a lot of girls. Anyways there was no excuse for me being immature and leaving the restaurant...that was just a big dumb situation and it was my fault. Seriously. I regret acting so stupid.

Okay so he forgives me, life goes on. We don't go out to eat too much anyways but we never really considered going back there, til today. We did some shopping this morning, and we were getting along really good. So we decide to go eat, and we choose the same restaurant. Theres only like 2 in the area, and this ones closest, so it was already decided which one we were going to. Now, there has been countless times where we'll run into someone he knows from school (or wherever) and he says hi. I really could care less, because I do the same thing. However, 99% of the time when we run into one of these girls, they have an attitude towards me. I'm the nicest person you could meet, I'm polite, I smile a lot, I'm just friendly. And thats how I was with these girls, everytime. I'd give a smile and say "Hi, nice to meet you" and what did I get in return? "Oh, uhhhhh hi, so anyways..."

There was always attitude given towards me and I never understood it. I don't come off cold or bitchy, I'm a warm person. So whenever a situation like that happened, I'd ask my boyfriend if he noticed it, he never did (i can't see why) and he'd get mad at me for being a little upset. The way I see it, is if he knows someone and they disrespect me (especially for no reason at all, on their first time meeting me), he should either say Goodbye and keep it moving, or ask if theres a problem. Either of the two would be fine...because I've always given him the same respect. He doesn't even associate with these people nemore, he doesn't keep girls as friends, so whats the big problem with defending your girlfriend? If I'm telling you I'm upset, believe its for a good enough reason.


So anyways. We're on our way to the restaurant. I ask him nicely "please don't disrespect me or nething today lets just have a calm nice time" Which is basically me asking him to not to let some girl disrespect me, and it was also kind of implying that I was going to be on good behavior. So he listens and thats that. We get into the restaurant, same exact atmosphere and the same exact people working there. So he gives the person his name and asks how long the wait will be. Then the same girl from the "situation" before walks past and looks me up and down with a dumb ass look on her face. And I saw it, and kind of figured she was the same girl, but to be honest, I didn't even remember her face. I didn't roll my eyes, I didn't say anything, I was fine. So we walked to the sideto let people through and he's really quiet and won't talk to me. So I'm messing around with him trying to get him to smile, and he starts going off and telling me "Don't embarrass me you act like such a little girl and I'm not doing that again" I say "Okay, wel we already established this, that was like a year ago, I'm not like that anymore" So he says "yes you are you're still childish and I really don't even want to be here because I don't trust you to act right"

Sooooooo why the hell did we come here?? You knew it was probably going to be the same bitches here, and why didn't we have this conversation in the car before we came in? So he says "no, we're leaving" and walks out. And I'm trying to convince him to stay because it wasn't that serious. So we're inside the car and by this point I'm screaming at him like "why the hell would you leave, what do you mean you can't trust me then why are you with me" and then he says "yeah I saw that little look she gave you and I'm not going through all that today"

IF YOU SAW THE DAMN LOOK SHE GAVE ME,then don't you realize that I'm not freaking crazy when I say that every bitch you know gives me attitude??? And he continues on to say that if she would've spoke to him he was going to say something back and thats final. I'm like "why, after seeing her give your girlfriend a dirty look, would you continue to speak to her and act like thats okay? You don't have to ignore the bitch, but a simple "hey" would be more than enough. The fact that he saw her look at me like that and still acted like I was wrong for something just blew my mind. If a guy that I knew EVER did something like that to him, the conversation would be over. "see ya later" because I don't let anyone disrespect my boyfriend. I feel like its his job to take care of the situation or not speak and be all jolly and shit because thats someone that HE knows. does that make sense? And now I feel like, she saw us there and then we obviously left, he made it seem as though I was the problem and I wanted to leave. I don't want someone to make it seem as though I can't go to which restaurants I want to...I don't like feeling like that. And yes it was my fault that the whole incident even happened, but if he would've given me a chance to prove myself today, he would've seen that I'm not like that anymore. I just feel as though..I can't ever go back there now because he fucked it up this time. I was in such a good mood and I was so prepared to show him that I've grown a little bit in that area, and he squashed that.

I guess I'm just ranting. You can give advice, or suggestions, or if you have a similar situation...It was just so ridiculous. And I know I was wrong in the first place, I feel horrible about that. But seriously, I feel like this whole thing could've been avoided.

i think your boyfriend acted really immaturelly. Its not your fault you were trying to make him smile. I would be soo hurt if my boyfriend ever did that to me. I'm sorry i'm not much of help but it's totally not your fault. He didn't have to walk off the restraunt like that making it seem like it's your fault plus you are right if he saw that girl giving you dirty looks he shoud've went up to her and said "excuse me thats my girlfriend you are looking at" or something within these lines, that would put her in her place!

I know a LOT of people who have to walk on eggshells in their relationship hoping to not flip the good times quickly into bad. If that is the way your relationship is (always riding the fence hoping the good doesn't turn into a fight over something stupid), then you will need to spend time reflecting on what you both want. Honestly, I know that you love him, but sometimes loving someone doesn't mean that they are the right person for you.

Without a LOT of work from both people, the dynamics of the relationship will not get better over time; and in most cases, it will get worse. You can not change other people.

I am not saying that you shouldn't be with him, but I know a lot of people who are in relationships with awesome good times, but the lows are crappy and too often. I can not imagine living that way. For most of them that I know, it is more about routine and comfort and fear of being alone that keeps them in the relationship; these people have lived like this for years. Plus, they'll tell you, the good times are GREAT.

Good luck.

This made me laugh...not at you but at the situation. When i was with my ex boyfriend, we went through the same shit. He would always defend his little girlfriends over me. It got old FAST. If he can let someone disrespect you like that, then he doesn't respect you either. I was the same way..."maybe it's my fault, maybe i'm the one that brought this on..." It's NOT your fault. If he cared about you, he would step up and say something. You shouldn't have to PROVE yourself to him because of some stupid bitch. I personally couldn't put up with that and you shouldn't either. There's a difference between love and blind love. Right now it seems like your blind to what he's doing to you and all you want to do is blame yourself. He had NO right to walk out on you at a restaurant full of people. That is completely disrespectful. A man doesn't do that. Ask him to grow up or kick his ass out.

well the reason why i say it was my fault is because the first time we went to the restaurant I got mad. For no reason. I got mad and left the restaurant because he knew some girl from school and she worked there. I think that was a really dumb and childish thing of me to do.

HOWEVER, it doesn't excuse him walking out of the restaurant the second time for no reason, because I didn't do anything and I was fully prepared to act like a mature and classy woman. I dunno. But I see what you guys are saying. Thanks for your input.

And I told him he really needs to stop taking other girls sides over mine, because I'd never do that to him. our relationship has been reeeeally good lately, with the exception of this situation. Which shouldn't have even happened, and now I guess we just have to avoid the restaurant altogether.

You don't have to avoid the restaurant!
Acting all confident, like you don't give a flying eff about the girl, everytime you go in there to eat, or you cross her on the street, is the best weapon ever.
Confidence is the key.

yeah exactly. I learned that and I was all set to do that the other day, but I never got the chance to because he didn't even want to stay in the restaurant. I'm not really worried about her at all and I'm pretty sure I won't ever bump into her again, but if it does happen, I am definetly going to be mature and confident.

Well personally I don't think he should be avoiding you while he's chatting with another female NOR let the girl take away time that's suppose to be spent together talking to some girl. Maybe he's trying to prove to you that HE'S the good catch, not you. Did you tell him that she looked you in that way? Because if she can't accept the fact that you are the one he's with, she isn't a real friend and should be forgotten (by him). The way I see it, is that it's possible she could be jealous of you or have the hots for your boyfriend. Anyway, if she or any of his other female friends have anything to say to him, they can just save it for school or whatever. She is being very disrespectful and if he isn't the one that notices it, then you shouldn't be wasting your time with him.... there can be a lot more things in the future that he would fail to notice as well... especially if things go a little sour even for just a few minutes or couple of days.

You don't have to prove anything to him. Don't even bring up the whole "mature" or "immature" thing either because that's really silly. He shouldn't be accusing you of being the bad person and he shouldn't be embarrassed while he's around you. If you aren't the jewel that he absolutely loves to show off to the whole world, you shouldn't be the one to revolve your life around his.
