Some bitter pills.. "Skank ***"?? Really? "Punch her in the ###"? Really?
Can you speak your opinion w/o emulating gutter trash or degrading another person you DON'T even know?
If somebody said that about your woman, you'd want to know where they lived.


MOD EDIT:

I could not have said it better, thanks!
 
sh*t happens.
ive come to terms with that.
relationships are far from perfect, but the key is to forgive.
if you, not you specifically, cant learn to do that...
you are going to be unhappy for a long, long time.
she admitted to her mistake and apologized, and theres not much more i can ask her to do.
and i have forgiven her for said mistake.


If you have moved on good for you, and may your make up sex be hot and dirty. But I am really suprised that you are so shocked about the responses you are getting. This is the internet!!! I saw these responses coming after I read your first post.
 
At this point, you're kind of screwed because you've accepted her abuse and are actively encouraging it. First, you'll have to give up your friends, and then your bass. Next, you're gonna need a vasectomy so she can feel secure in the idea that you're faithful.

For your own peace of mind and for your health, do ask her this one question. "What do I like?"

Give her a full day.

If she can't answer, you need to re-think your relationship.
 
I've been married to a great woman for 15 years who loves me and my basses.

I'm sure some of the other lonely, bitter bass players here will take your advice to heart.

Ive been married 13 years, my wife would never disrespect me like that in private let alone in public. its not a matter of proving her wrong its a matter of total disrespect for someone you are suppose to be in a loving relationship with. Seeing his reactions about it and how everyone is telling him the same thing yet he puts his tail between his legs she will only get worse over time because women have no respect for spineless men.
 
/ thread...it has been determined that she didn't think and he is ok with that.

^ This...some women are going to behave like the airheads that they are (not all of them ok? just the vast majority ;) ) when you least expect it...that´s why i made the "facepalm and carrying on with one´s bussiness like nothing happened" remark. I love my girlfriend and i try to not get upset with the stupid comments that come out of her mouth sometimes :D
 
I read this forum religiously and hardly ever post a reply, but honestly i felt compelled to reply to this. I have been playing bass for over 35 years and have been married almost 30 years. My wife considers my bass my mistress because it takes me away from her so often. I know to a certain degree she resents this intrusion into our life BUT she realizes that I love to play and that this is a passion that I must pursue and she RESPECTS that.
I would never hear a comment like that in a private setting let alone a public one. She may not like the competition for her time but she is proud of my ability to play the bass and supports my musical diversions at her expense. So the bottom line to me is that your girlfriend doesn't have a clue to your feelings on this matter or she would have not said that even in a joking manner. I am not sure where you are going in this relationship but I can tell you this for certain. If you plan on a long term relationship with this girl you better commuicate your passion for music and this instrument and setup some expectations and guidelines or you are going to be one miserable bass player or what's worse one former bass player.
