friends help: today when i was at my boyfriends (of 2 years) house we were watching tv when my cellphone rang. - Help.com

my boyfriend gets mad all the time when i do that, you should end the convo with hey im at my bf friends house i got to go like even if they had hung up, that usually works or start kissing your bf’s neck if you guys r up to that level yet. it always works for me

He should learn to lighten up.. Talking doesn’t hurt anyone

Anon, you acted incredibly stupidly. You are at your boyfriend’s house, and you talk to some OTHER GUY for TEN MINUTES? And then you expect your boyfriend to be cool with that? I’m sorry, but you apparently don’t know very much about guys. And you still don’t “get it” even after you elicited a really negative reaction from your boyfriend by YOUR BEHAVIOR. Why didn’t you just go ahead and invite the guy over so he could sit between you and your boyfriend on the couch?

I’m not beating you up. I’m trying to enlighten you. If you want to lose a boyfriend, just do something like that and act like you don’t know why it’s wrong.

Hope this helps.

I think you you should apologize to your boyfriend as soon as possible. I don’t care if you were talking to another man for only 5 minutes - that IS disrespecting your boyfriend. OK.. if you were not doing something together, fine, take the call. But you were doing something together. It would have taken you 5 seconds to say, “hey look, it’s great to hear from you, but I’m with my boyfriend right now - can I call you back later”. NOW… your boyfriend would probably get all upset/jealous because you wouldn’t talk to an “old friend” in his presence, but at least you didn’t disrespect him. Was his reaction mature? No… but a lot of guys will react that way (withdraw) instead of having an out and out argument with the one they love. Was he wrong to be upset??? A BIG NO - he had every right to feel disrespected and hurt.

yes you dont know how to behave,you should have told him there and then sorry im at my boyfriends house how are you and good by .Ten minutes on the phone at your boyfriends house Stupid….

Here’s something I have noticed about women: an awful LOT of them don’t think they ever need to APOLOGIZE for a gaffe like the one committed above. On the other hand, if they received the very same treatment from a man, they’d fuss and fume until they got a full apology.

Here’s some advice for the ladies out there: if you hurt your man’s feelings, be a REAL WOMAN and APOLOGIZE! Just say, “I’m sorry, I was wrong, and I regret hurting your feelings. I won’t ever do that again.”

Don’t inflict a wound and just walk away, particularly a wound to the man’s pride and ego. Our poster above felt it was “no big deal,” but it WAS a big deal to her boyfriend. It would have been a big deal to HER if HE had talked to another woman for 10 minutes in her presence. Come on now, DON’T deny it! You WOULD have been upset, too!

I just don’t know why some women have such a hard time apologizing. Do they think their boobs will shrink several cup sizes if they do? ;-)

Please refer this post to your boyfriend: Dude, don’t take this disrespect. Find a girlfriend who doesn’t treat you like garbage and then gets mad because you don’t kiss her a** and ask for more.

we guys hate it when our girls do that stuff jus talk to him bout it n how myuch you got mad bout it n yeah

I think the dude is overreacting…

I agree. Even from a girl’s perspective ..I think you were in the wrong. My fiance would be upset if I did that and I’d be pretty upset as well if he did it. If it was his mother/sister/grandma/etc I could completely understand, but just some other girl? I don’t think so.

I think hes being a little sensitive about it, but cetainly not at fault for that. My girl would be so angry the other way around, except I’d have the rsepect to end the call. You were there to be with him, you can’t just expect himto be cool with you choosing to talk to another guy for ten minutes.

Personally, i’d of been pissed, and tbf, he just acted cold for 15 minutes- Bare respect to the guy for not asking you to leave.

Apologise to the guy. It’s not fair on him at all.

I agree with Richard. You should have told him to call you back later, even if he were a friend. It reminds me of a something that happened to me. My boyfriend and I were sitting in his car, he was driving, and then his cell phone rang. He talked to his female friend in the car for 20 minutes and almost causing an accident because he didn’t see an ambulance coming. I felt like garbage and I told him after the call how I felt. I have not heard an apology from him yet. Men do that sometimes too and think we won’t feel bad about it. I felt terrible for months especially seeing him chatting with such passion right in front of me. No apologies, so chev.jame is right, men as well just don’t get it either.

Beatricegalant, I think your boyfriend also owes you an apology. In fact, I think Watson and I will work him over for treating you that way!

hahhahaaha…thanks chev. you made my day! :-)

Me being a guy, I personally HATE when my GF does that. I don’t know what it is I just can’t stand when we are together and she is texting or talks to one of her guy friends, and when she does do that and I ask her she gets all upset that im “interrogating” her. But if I pick up a call I get the 3rd degree and she won’t stop asking questions until I tell her every little detail. Basically what I’m trying to say is this goes both ways, just think how you’d feel if you were in the other persons shoes.

Indeed (v) 1 k 3.

….i dont get why this was a big deal :S
you guys obviously have too good a thing going on…fighting on stupid things.
