Hey I gotta serious problem Options

[*kryogenix*]

Hey CB, I have a very serious problem. I'm f**king crying because of how stupid I am.

Okay, so my girlfriend was supposed to come over to my house today because I was going to go take her to a movie. She lives about 20 minutes away, and the movie we were supposed to see started at 4:15, which was in about 40 minutes. I figured "cool, I'll just play Pokemon while I wait".

So I'm playing Pokemon, and having a pretty damn good time. Anyway, she finally does show up, except she's crying as she walks into my room. Instead of doing the right thing by comforting her, I half-focus on my game and her. She starts telling me her cat died, and just as she was getting into it, I get into a random encounter in my game.

A shiny pidgey. Holy shit. (For those of you who don't know/care, shiny pokemon have less than a 1/1000 chance of appearing). I stare into my screen in amazement, yelling "holy shit, YES", interrupting her mid-story. She sobs more, and she starts to yell "You don't even f**king care! YOU JUST WANT TO PLAY YOUR f**king GAME!" I'm still looking at my screen, still focusing on catching my shiny pidgey, when she walks over, and tosses the game against the wall. I run over and pick up my DS hoping that nothing has changed on screen, and quickly noticed that she broke it. My system and my shiny pidgey, gone forever.

I start screaming every obscenity I know, and started flailing my arms around. I didn't know she was behind me, and apparently I backhanded her in the face while I was being a dumbass and swinging my fists around. She yells out "f**k YOU", and runs out of my house in tears.

What have I done? I've f**ked up so badly, and I need to know how to approach her. I don't want a game of Pokemon to be responsible for ruining my best relationship ever. Help me CB!

This made me think about how much you really care about her...I know that if my boyfriend walked in crying, I'd drop whatever I was doing and comfort him. Same goes for him. Hell he dropped what he was doing when I walked in looking sad and depressed once and spent an hour just cuddling with me to make me feel better. You really should've just pause or turn off the game when she started telling you why she was crying; how would you like it if you were telling your gf about something and she was focusing ALL her attention on painting her nails or reading a magazine?

Obviously you should try apologizing. Try really hard. Try to do sweet things for her...do stuff you know she likes. Go out of your way to please her. Be the perfect boyfriend to her.....
