OP, stop defending your drinking. That is not what this post was about and quite frankly, it's a normal part of American culture that college age kids drink. People that don't, or were never invited to the party scene will hop up on a self righteous high horse and try to tear you down. Don't listen to them, who cares what a self righteous tool thinks.
Anyways, 8 years is a looonngggg time. There is not enough to the story here though. In my eyes, it's one of two things. Either she is losing attraction to you for a number of reasons (women begin to act out and irrationally when they are no longer attracted to you but still in a relationship with you), or she is just that nagging type of chick with attitude. It's one or the other. Without more details on how you act around her, I can't be certain.
What should I have done in that situation specifically, the hammock situation? You're shirtless with sunscreen on and your GF wants to go to a new restaurant immediately, not in an hour, immediately, no prior text or anything. What would you have done?
I would have told her to get naked with me while I shower off the sunscreen. See how thinking outside-of-the-box would have turned this into a good thing?

It sounds like she is your typical young, entitled, my way only type of girl.
If I had just laid back and was chillen in a hammock and my girl came over announcing we needed to leave now to go to a restaurant when we didn't have plans to, I'd laugh and ask her if she was kidding. When she began to throw a tantrum, I'd let her be angry. Then when she finished (or came back after she left), I'd let her know we handle things like adults. If she wanted to go to said restaurant, then we should make plans to. I do not jump when she says jump. I value my down time and if I want to have a couple cocktails when I didn't have any plans with you, I'm going to have a couple.
Then, maybe a week or so later if she was being consistently good and not being a brat, I'd surprise her with a trip to the restaurant.
hahahaha well well captain judgmental. Did you not go to college? Drinking mid day at 19 was one of the best parts of college. Jesus christ you people are quick to the trigger.
Yeah.
I did... and I had classes during the day.
I never drank mid-day, and I knew no one who did. Maybe that is why I feel the girlfriend would be better off without him. We have similar attitudes towards the college experience.
Yeah.

I wasn't going to say anything, but since you went ahead, I'll chime in and say this was my experience in college, too.
Though that doesn't mean there weren't people who didn't kick back during the day or at the end of the day, with a few brewskies. I just didn't know any.
I kinda like the OP's laid-back attitude. Notice, for example, that when his gf blew in while he was chilling, and laid a trip on him, he didn't buy into her drama. He was very calm, and only asked, "Problem?" There's something to be said for maintaining that type of calm in the midst of a hurricane. I admire that.
The fact is simply that they're not each other's type anymore. Better they figure it out now than after they're married.
Yeah.

You realize he posted this story today saying it happened yesterday right? This was on a Sunday... as in the weekend. He was hanging with his friends chilling on the weekend. It's not like he's binge drinking right before class. LOL!

He also originally said he was 19...
I am taking all this with a grain of salt.
In any case, now that they are older, they are incompatible.
