Yesterday I had an argument with my gf
Basically, I'm the kind of guy who can't tolerate when you're in a shopping mall with a girl and she's like "omg look specials!" in a clothing store and then spends an hour looking at all the clothes and shoes etc while you're sitting there waiting for her.
I have no patience for this.
So what I do is, when I'm with a girl and she tells me she wants to check out such or such store, I just say something like "fine, take your time, I'm going to go check out other places, text me when you're done." And so while she's taking her time choosing clothes I don't have to wait around for her I can do other stuff, like go in stores that actually interest me or get some pizza at the food court, etc.
So anyway the problem with my current girlfriend is that she's got a US cell phone and this is Canada, so she shuts her phone off when she's here to avoid roaming charges. So basically you can only communicate with her through landline or email. And so it turns out we were walking in this big shopping mall and all of a sudden she wants to buy shoes. So I go in with her and she starts opening one box after another and finally she's got three shoes to choose from, and so she puts one pair on, then the other, and the other, and then she puts the first pair again. Finally, she's been ogling those three ****ing shoes for fifteen minutes and I'm like "just pick one they're all good" and she's like "no, I got to be sure."
So basically I'm like "OK I'll wait for you outside." I went out but since she has no cell phone I couldn't really go too far because she wouldn't be able to text me when she's done, and there wasn't really anything interesting in that section of the mall but anyway.
So then after about fifteen more minutes she walks out of the shoe store and she's super pissed off because she didn't see me right away when walking out of the store, and she says something like "I don't understand why you left me alone in there I really wished you would've helped me choose."
I got mad and I said that it's not my fault she's too cheap to get a canadian cell phone, but I find it disrespectful that she would expect me to just sit there like a puppy while she's taking her time like that and I have nothing to do. Her answer is something like "well you must not have much experience with women because all women do this." I told her I didn't give a **** what other women and she better get a canadian cell phone because of she does that **** again I'll leave her.
Anyway, she didn't say a word on the drive back and looked super offended/shocked/etc.
Is it me that is just too intolerant? I'm the nicest guy you could find but I have zero patience for when women expect men to wait for them while they spend hours choosing clothes. My mom used to do that to me when I was a kid and it would send me in screaming fits. It just feels so disrespectful that someone thinks you can just wait around for them like that. I don't do this to them - if I want to spend thirty minutes in a video game store I go by myself.
What do you guys think?
