LmaoDid you only come on GAF to vent, without even asking how GAF is doing?
So selfish.

I hear you, and I'd definitely talk with her about timing, but again, this is all stuff I could say about OP too, considering she wanted to talk and he has a self-described "venting session" while driving where he doesn't even ask as a courtesy. I can see both sides justifiably feeling the same about the other.It's a lot to ask when he's stressed and needs to focus, why does she need constant reassurance that he cares?
She knew his situation but that didn't matter to her so I'd question how much she actually cares about OP when her first response to his stresses is why didn't you ask how I am.
Selfish, self centred, uncaring, lack of understanding all come to mind...
Sounds like she called to talk about something that she wanted to talk about, but when she asked you what's up, you had something to talk about that took up all the time. So she got a little upset, and it escalated to something more.
let it go
I thought you were joking until I clicked on 'other threads started by'...
If you keep getting into trouble with your girlfriends, family, coworkers, bosses, managers... There's always that one linking factor between those people.
I mean, this thread is from the same production company as
- My white Manager says my ringtone makes him uncomfortable
- Anyone ever work with a Snitch?
- I think I accidentally insulted my girlfriend. What should I do?
- Ever had a CoWorker that wont STFU about their personal life?
- Is it fair to hate your Father for how he treats your Mother?
- Is my Manager a Jerk or am I just stupid?
We are all human. Op hasn't said any other negative things about her. This is such minor incident. They should just make up. Its waaaaaay too minor.Sounds like a shitty girlfriend.
Do you give her a 10 minute massage each night?

I'm not going to pretend I'm super knowledgeable when it comes to relationships, but I think that you're both wrong. You, because you just dumped all this info on your S.O. without asking her what's up with her or why she called you so early in the morning. Her, because if it's been obvious you've been really stressed or she knows how much this position means to you, then her snapping on you isn't the right thing to do.
Either way, neither of you have an exclusive right to be angry, so calm the hell down, talk this out with her, and mutually apologize. And whatever you do, if you don't end up getting the position, don't be an ass and resort to blaming it wholly on her. And all the posts here insulting the girl without knowing what the hell is going on in her life are completely unwarranted and immature.

They guy just wants advice. Most don't even introspect like this. Give him some credit!!
This.
edit: lol at the gf defense force. If she isn't listening/being supportive and instead gets mad.. then that shows she's self-centred/doesn't give a shit.
Exactly.Making a drama around nothing and calling you selfish?
Life is too short for this kind of shit.
Halfway into work my girl calls me we exchange pleasebtries and she asks me how im doing, I say stressed and I basically tell her all that had happened with me etc.
This venting session lasts right up until I pull into my parking spot at work, with 4 hours to go before my big interview. I say I got to go Im at work now. To which she repsonds you didn't even ask what am I up to and then BOOM. She starts fighting with me calling me selfish for not wanting to hear what shes up to.
let it go
Fucking Gaf and the virgin advice.
For real lmao. People so quick to go fucking nuclear after one fight. 😂
What I've learned is to always answer "fine" and then immediately ask the girl how she is doing. 9/10 times the girl wants to talk about herself.
based on the way OP phrased his story, it seemed like she had something specific she wanted to tell him, and was giving him a not-so subtle nudge to segue the convo towards whatever she wanted to discuss.
But the OP made things all about him.
She was going to do the same so why phrase it like the OP is an ass for doing it? He needed to vent it happens.
Are you the kind of person who likes to talk a lot? Is she as well? Might not be a good fit.
I hate talking. My wife loves to talk. Works out great. Note that not liking to talk does not mean I like listening, I just tune out and think about games or TV shows or books or whatever while people talk to me. Most of the time its great, you get really good at making the right sounds and face gestures and people just want a face to vent to.
Sure, I know I'm kind of an asshole for not really listening but then again I really don't give a shit about your problems with Janice in accounting and its a boring story so why am I the asshole for listening to you vent for 45 minutes?
I also have a dog and it is the greatest thing in the world for staring raptly at you while you wax philosophically on the stupidest shit in the world.
Keep in mind as well while your problems may seem like the biggest deal in the world to you, they may not to her and she may be having problems just as large.
