Girlfriend and I are in our 30s. Have been together for around 6 years. Live together for about 3 years.
Strange situation today. I said to my girlfriend that it would be nice if we could phone my mum together when I get home from work and sing happy birthday. My girlfriend was cool about that.
I didn't realise that my girlfriend took that to mean I would wait the whole day to call my mum and wish happy birthday. For me, I always phone my mum early in the morning shortly after she has woken up. Which I did, this morning. If I had known that my girlfriend would take such offence I would have done things very differently, making it clear that I'll call my mum in the morning and later call together with my girlfriend. It was too early to call together when I left for work due to the time difference as my mum lives in another country.
When I mentioned to my girlfriend that I phoned my mum to wish her happy birthday she was really upset and angry saying "but we had an agreement to do that later!".
I said to my girlfriend that we are going to call her later and sing happy birthday and that my mum will like that. I just don't see the problem in calling my mum from work this morning and later calling together with my girlfriend.
My girlfriend is so mad right now. Things are not like that with her family. They make calls together and wait. I've stayed calm and tried to explain diplomatically but she's going crazy!!!! She is filled with so much anger right now. :-(
What do you think? I am such an horrible person?
