Cub Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Yea, simple problem, I just need outside opinions. My girlfriend is mad because her birthday coincides with the trip to Spain I'm taking over Easter break. I just found out the exact date of the trip today and as 3000 dollars has already been spent on it, there's not really anything I can do. She doesn't want to talk to me... Anyway, what can I do to make it up to her?
dropdeadlegs Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Take her to Spain? I bet that would get her talking again. Seriously, it's a timing thing and she should be more happy about your trip abroad than mad that it coincides with her birthday. She will have many more b-days, but how many chances does one have to travel to Europe? I've never had the opportunity. Go in peace and have a wonderful time. Your GF needs to get over herself on this one.
Lauriebell82 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 i can see her point of view on this one..my bf went home to visit his family (they live about 6 hours away) and it coincided with my birthday. i was upset and pissed off cause i wanted him to be there for my birthday cause i love him. but i realized that there would be other birthdays. he told me how sorry he was that he couldnt be there with me, and when he came back to he surprised me with a dozen roses and took me out to a very fancy dinner. he then lit candles all over his room and we had wine and the most romantic night ever. i was so upset that he wasnt there, but he made it up to me soooooo much, when he got back. i suggest doing something like that. tell her how much u would like to be there with her but u had already planned the trip. tell her how much u are going to miss her and plan something very very special for the two of u when u come back. do something along the lines of what my bf did for me, and she'll forget all about how is wasnt as special because she wasnt there with u. does she have other friends to go out with for it? my best friend took me out on my birthday and we had such a great time. it kept my mind off of not being with my bf.
Author Cub Posted March 23, 2007 Author Posted March 23, 2007 Ha ha, I wish I could take her. That would be a birthday to remember. Thanks for the advice though, and indeed I shall. It's not every day one gets 10 days over seas.

That's a good idea. The roses and candles should hit her hard, she's the really romantic type. She does have friends and I think she wants to go out of town with them and her mother because she does it every year. That's also why I was a little surprised with her reaction. I thought she wasn't going to be there anyway.
Art_Critic Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 She needs to get used to her B-day not lining up exactly so that there are free days in everyones schedule when it arrives.. If she has taken to not speaking to you then I would think she needs to grow up.. It's okay for her to be sad or want you to be with her but to EXPECT it is going to far.. Just make sure you blast her with Godiva Chocolate and Flowers on her B-day while you are in Spain..
