If you can't trust your GF what's the point of staying with her? Grow up.

Seriously.

A relationship is built on trust, obviously you don't have enough in her.

He's not being controlling. If you think that's being controlling then you're blatantly ignorant to how messed up a relationship can be.

He was worried, and that's natural. He's only been with this girl for 6 months, it's not like they're married. 6 months anything can still happen. Take off your rose colored glasses and look at it from his point-of-view.

I agree that she should has the right to go to bars whenever she wants, if you never let them (and when I say them I am refering to either partner) do what they want to, then you'll never truely understand them, which can lead to much more serious problems down the road.

And trust takes time to build. Or do you just walk up to anybody and automatically trust them with feelings that could ultimately backfire and ruin a good chunk of your life?

Your first two paragraphs condemn what we're saying, but then you agree with it in the third?

I'll keep this short and to the point. I want a wide array of opinions, hence this isn't going to yagt.org. Now then:

Girlfriend of 6 months just turned 21 two weeks ago. I'm out of town 1-2 nights a week because of an out of town internship. We go to the same univerisity together. She has a roomate who is recently single and wants to go to the bars on those nights when I'm not there. She doesn't want to go very often, and says I should trust her. She said she wouldn't have more than a couple drinks. I told her gradually that I didn't think it was a great idea, but I wasn't entirely against it. Well, today, we had a discussion and I told her bluntly, "If you want to go to bars all the time without me, we are not going to be able to be together". I later, after she was obviously stunned by this, said that I would never break up with her over something so trivial, and I just wanted to her to know how serious this topic was to me. She repeatedly said "fine, I won't go to the bars, EVER".

We've talked about this for the past hour or so, and now we're both a bit heated up and she's off to do some cleaning to cool down.


Additional info (you don't have to read this before replying):

I'm serious about this girl, and other than this issue, I think she is about me. She always says that I'm the one. We've already talked a small bit about our thoughts for each other and possibly marriage in the future. Her parents ADORE me, which she finds extremely important. I spend the night at her parents place and we get along better than I do with my own parents. So this is very important to me.

I don't know what to do. I think I may just have to let her go do what she wants, I mean, I've already told her that after I said some of these things just a few minutes ago -- that I can't control or set rules for her and expect her to be happy, and for her to do what she wants. In a way, this is a real blow to me. I don't want guys grinding on my girl when I'm not there. Just the other day we went bar hopping with some friends, and on the way to the dance floor when I was getting her a long island (her fav) a guy grabbed her ass when I was out of the dance area and not looking. He ran off before I was back, but she told me about it.

Wouldn't you feel the same way?


I haven't read all the responses but I'll keep it short:
Stop being such a coward. Stop imposing your authoritarian insecurities on you girlfreind. If you continue to do so she will leave you. Learn what trust is, because without out your relationship will be a failure.

I would tell her that doing so would cause a terrible amount of trouble between us based on past experiences and that if going to the bar instead of finding another way to keep herself busy or have fun is more important than the relationship between the two of us, it's time to consider whether we should be waving goodbye or not!

I'm condemning you for stoning him for showing natural worries during this time of a relationship. If you think you're doing any good by calling him a controlling freak (which he's not) you're extremely wrong.

You people are being way too hard on Geekish Thoughts. Its obvious that he thinks his GF alone in a bar is not the best idea for her or for their relationship. I don't think it is controlling to express displeasure. Now physically preventing her or throwing a tantrum would be controlling.

I basically did say that. Read my original post (and quote).

"I want a wide array of opinions"

...I did read the OP. I gave my opinion. :roll:

If you used proper English, maybe, just maybe, I would take your opinion/insult into consideration.

I don't like it when my girlfriend is at the bar with just her friends, but that's just because she's hot and I don't like it when other guys are hitting on her. BUT, I trust my girlfriend very much and I know that she doesn't go dancing with other guys and if someone trys to take advantage of her, she doesn't let anything happen.

I know she feels the same way. Nobody likes to think that their S.O. is getting hit on by someone else when they are not around. If you are there, you have the opportunity to say "Hey get lost, he/she's mine!". When you aren't there, you have to think that they will do the same thing and say "Hey, I'm taken, get lost" and that only comes with trust.

The key thing is that you have to trust your S.O.

I would consider burning her face and physically scarring her...that way no guy will hit on her in the bar and everything will be fine!

An alternative could be to put her in a coma whenever you leave.

This is pretty much the way it is. You do have something to worry about but at the same time it is pointless to do so. You are not going to keep her from having experiences or meeting new people outside of the relationship. If you try you will just create resentment. Yes girls tend to get flirty when they are drunk and yes guys in bars tend to hit on them but she is only going to do something if she wants to. Honestly if she is adamant about going to bars while you are out of town she is probably not as serious about being in the relationship as you are.

Maybe after 10 years of working in bars and seeing what does happen a lot of the time I am just jaded.

Actually she is off to the bars getting trashed off her ass and looking to hook up with some other guy that is not as much of a jackass as you are.

A married woman does not need to be interacting with any male other than their significant other unless it is strictly plutonic.

I wouldn't stop her. But I certainly wouldn't be fvcking jumping for joy over the situation either.

Here's a good song for you


No One Else (Weezer)


My girl's got a big mouth

With which she blabbers a lot

She laughs at most everything

Whether it's funny or not

And if you see her

Tell her it's over now



I want a girl who will laugh for no one else

When I'm away she puts her makeup on the shelf

When I'm away she never leaves the house

I want a girl who laughs for no one else



My girl's got eyeballs

In the back of her head

She looks around and around

You know it makes me sad to see her like that

Please don't believe her she says that for anyone

And if you watch her go... Watch her, watch her, watch her!


It seems like you've seen the errors of your ways, but just be careful about putting rules and stipulations on your relationship...you've only been dating for 6 months, and she's still young...lot's of life and love out there for her.
