Me[30] arguing with my girlfriend[27], over not hanging out with her last night. Looking for support in my rightness.

What do you think "rightness" will get you.

Smug satisfaction.

Nothing. It will get me nothing. I used "rightness" in this thread title to poke fun at the situation and my posting on here about it.

Her emotional response is not what's unacceptable. Her reaction is unnaceptable. If her response was that she was bummed out but understood, my response would've been "I'm sorry your feelings are hurt. Let me make it up to you."

But no. Her response was: you are neglecting me and are inattentive to my feelings and needs, and you don't care about me.

Of course my response is going unempathetic. As it would be with anyone that comes at me with attacks and accusations.
