Dude Abandons Girlfriend On Top Of Mountain To Watch Football


This dude asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for abandoning his girlfriend on top of a mountain, because he had to catch the game. A game we might add that was a Jets game. And he just watched it in the car. Seems like he could've benefited from keeping his cool, being patient, and also recognizing that the big "emotional outburst" was entirely created by him.

Text - AITA for abandoning my girlfriend on top of a mountain? I know this sounds bad but hear me out on this one. It wasn't even a big mountain. Basically l've been going on hikes alone on weekend mornings while my girlfriend eats pancakes. On Sunday I went to do a peak that's easy if you're a vet like me but still takes a few hours. I went early so I could be back for the football game at one. I could not miss this game. So I woke up early to go and my girlfriend gets up with me and is like "L

Text - Before I agreed I made sure she understood that it would be challenging and that I was going to be going at a brisk pace because I needed to be home in time for the game. I told her that if she wanted we could do some lighter hikes later this week so she can ease her self into it but she insisted she could keep up. But of course it didn't go that way. She fell behind immediately, before the real ascent even began. I offered to turn around and tackle it another time but she insisted she ju

Text - We got to the top and I told her we needed to get down faster than we went up because if we didn't I was going to miss kickoff. She got all pissy over that and was like isn't spending time with me more important than the game. I knew this was bait so I just said back that I told her the conditions beforehand and it wasn't respectful of her to slow me down like this. Then she got real mad and basically shrieked across the entire peak that I might as well just leave her up there and I was s

Text - I told her the descent down was easier and there were plenty of people around to help her if she needed it and I headed back down the mountain alone. I felt bad so I waited for her in the car and watched the game on my phone and she didn't make it down until the 4th quarter which I pointed out to her as soon as she opened the door. She won't talk to me. I know my actions were hurtful, but her peak freakout had humiliated me and I didn't know what else to do. AITA? edit: since people are a

Text - looc64 • 11h O 5 Awards Basically I've been going on hikes alone on weekend mornings while my girlfriend eats pancakes. She gives me this whole spiel about trying to better herself and her body which she gives me every year but I still felt obligated to bring her along. she complained and begged for water the entire time. She got all pissy over that and was like isn't spending time with me more important than the game. I knew this was bait INFO. Do you actually like your girlfriend? Reply

Text - ollieclark • 11h • Certified Proctologist [27] 3 2 Awards ESH - she shouldn't have insisted going with you even when you told her it was too difficult for her to do in the time you wanted to do it in. You should have absolutely put your foot down or picked an easier hike that she'd have been able to complete in the time. You suck more though for leaving an inexperienced hiker on the top of a mountain. You know that accidents can happen. What would you have done if she'd fallen and hurt he

Text - CornPorridge • 11h • Colo-rectal Surgeon [42] 3 Awards ESH. You shouldn't have abandoned her. I get that on some level she brought it on herself, but you shouldn't have done it anyway. You should have accepted the situation for what it was and then talked to her later about respecting your time and plans. She shouldn't have insisted on coming knowing that you wanted to be back in time for the game, and then pulled a bait and switch on you about "spending time with her being more important

Text - teakettle_ • 11h 1 Award YTA I thought people like you only exist in boomer jokes. If a game is more important to you than your girlfriend then why do you even keep her around? Reevaluate your life. You sound really selfish and narrow minded. The worst thing is that you don't even know what is wrong with your behaviour based on the words you use. You think SHE embarrassed YOU? How do you think she felt when you abandoned her? You can't even imagine how embarrassing your whole act sounded.

Text - QuantityJaded • 10h EHS. You suck, because you left an inexperienced hiker on top of a mountain, alone. That's dangerous and irresponsible. Choosing to watch the game instead of ensuring the life and safety of a human being you brought there definitely makes you an asshole. I do wonder why you didn't just compromise and go for an easier hike in the first place, would she even be able to tell the difference/realised you switched routes? Sounds to me like you wanted to prove a point. She su

Text - Grayson81 • 4h YTA You don't seem to actually like your girlfriend, as shown by the way you dismiss almost everything she said in your main post and by this comment you made later on: Trust me if we break up the only thing she'll be conquering is more pancakes You talk as though she's lucky to have you and that you should therefore be allowed to treat her like shit. Unless I'm misreading that's you're a bad boyfriend and you're the arsehole in this situation. Reply ...

Text - jujubee225 • 4h YTA why didn't you just hike a different mountain so that she could hike with you at her pace and leave you with enough time to watch your game? You're the experienced hiker here. When she showed interest, you should have adjusted your hike. There is no compromise on your part aside from wanting to turn around. And that wasn't even for her, it was for you. You planned your day to be completely unavailable to her. And you still don't understand why she was upset when she wa

Text - dftaylor • 11h • Partassipant [4] ΥΤΑ. Your girlfriend wanted to spend time with you and the first thing you do is neg her and then leave her behind on the walk, before leaving her on top of the mountain. That's plain old bad behaviour. Take a look at yourself and apologise to her. Reply 823 ...

Text - YTA. I'd love to say this is fake but I climbed a mountain in the uk last week and there was a couple in this exact boat. We kept crossing paths during the course of the climb and decent and we chatted a bit as we went up/ down. The lady had vertigo and was struggling a bit and there was quite a bit of scrambling rocks (striding edge-helvelyn England) so it wasn't the easiest but did not require ropes/helmets etc but you are literally hanging off at some points and striding edge is a bit

I love sport, more than I should, my GF puts up with a lot for me to watch all my sports, doesn't mean I would abandon her to watch them, worse case, I t

Text - ilaremadeys • 11h • Asshole Enthusiast [5] YTA. Any person who hikes regularly knows the limit of his friends and how much and fast they can hike on a trail. You abandoned your gf for a football game which could have been watched later, its not like you were going to the stadium to watch it live irl. Secondly you could have altered the plan and cut the hike short when you saw your gf nearing her limit. Most people overestimate their limits when they have no prior experience to hiking but

Text - hyperside89 • 6h YTA - I think a lot of people commenting here aren't familiar with hiking/outdoor safety best practices. Hiking safety 101 is to NEVER leave your hiking companion behind. Like, come on dude. She could have fallen, gotten off the travel and had a hard time finding her way back, taken the wrong trail, etc. Did she even have water, a map, or the 10 essentials when you left her (sounds like you were carrying all the water from your "begging for water" comment)?!?

Imao you abandoned your gf on top of a mountain for a JETS GAME??? honey i'm a jets fan and i can tell you right now that sure as hell wasn't worth it. did you ever stop and think that maybe your gf wanted to spend quality time with you, instead of you leaving her alone in the house for a few hours and then probably ignoring her for a few more hours while you watched a failing football team? did you think maybe you should encourage her to have a more active lif
