A guy shared how he asked his girlfriend for permission to hang out with a friend and she said yes, so he went ahead but then she got angry because he went ahead with it.
He then asked whether women mean yes when they say no, and no when they say yes.
Here is the story:
I recently asked my girlfriend if she would be mad if I went out to hang out with a friend. She said no, so I took this as an opportunity to squeeze in some much needed time for myself. I was sure that she would be ok with it, as she always encouraged me to take time for myself and do things that I enjoy.
Little did I know, when I returned home, she was mad at me. I was so confused. I asked her why she was mad, and she said she had changed her mind. I reminded her that she said it was ok for me to go out, but she continued to be mad.
I thought ladies always advocated for “No” means “No”? So, why was my girlfriend mad if she said “No”? I felt like she was sending me mixed signals. I told her that I was confused because she said it was ok, and she told me that it was ok for me to go, but she didn’t want me to.
This left me even more confused. Was she giving me permission to go out and then getting mad at me when I did? Did she not think I would actually take her up on her offer? It felt like she was playing a game with me.
I tried to explain to her that I didn’t understand why she was mad. I told her that I had thought she wanted me to go out and have fun, and that I felt like she was being hypocritical.
I thought ladies always advocated for ‘No’ means ‘No’? So for my GF does ‘No’ mean ‘Yes’? Do I flip everything around?
Editor’s note: I guess its true when they say men are from Mars and women are from Venus.
