Just curious, as when I have a bad day my gf of 3 years doesnt really do anything to make it better, and if she does, its a pretty half-assed attempt (case in point, yesterday I was in an accident [my car was side swipped by an 18 wheeler], her idea of making my day better was for us to watch a chick flick, send me home without any TLC and then fight with me the next day because her "effort", or lack thereof didnt do anything to make my day better [she told me to go find a new gf if I wanted more])

So yea, I was just curious as to what you would do to make your SO have a better day or if the treatment I get is normal and I should just chill down and not expect so much...

I usually get a hummer. I got a nice back rub once, because she knew my back was hurting. I was sleeping on my stomach and she rubbed an Icy/Hot type thing on me while massaging my lower back. We don't live together, but see eachother often, so it's not like I kick in the door and start complaining. I usually do that throughout the day via text. Today she is bringing me some lunch...not so much because of a bad day, more like she is thoughtful.


What do I do though? Well she doesn't really have bad days..but when she is pissed I usually talk with her...it ends up releaving her stress a bit as I am a bit more intellectual and logical than her...so stuff makes sense and she feels better...and when she feels better I feel better because I usually will get a hummer or sex soon after.

We dont live together either, so it wasnt like I kicked in the door complaining either. She kept telling me all throughout the day yesterday that she was gonna "turn my day around" and "make me forget all about what happend" and all I got was a chick flick....something, anything would have been nice..a back rub or massage even, it didnt have to be sexual (even though thats what she told me was gonna happen)...just some effort with her thinking of my situation I was in instead of herself and her wants

so what you have both said sounds like the best way to make you feel better is through sex.
why not just say to her--"you know what would make me feel better after a long day of hell? sex"
your gf did what girls do to feel better--watch a movie that will help you relax, maybe snuggle up and just try to relax. but that is not what you considered TLC--so you need to tell her that

There wasnt even snugglng or cuddling involved! Besides, after 3 years, I know when she has a bad day that the last thing she wants to do is drink a beer and play video games.

She was bringing up the sex all day (thats what I got from "dont worry, I know how to make ur day better") Besides, in my relationship, sex can only brought up/asked for by her..

I'd give her a foot massage, cook her favorite dish and try for her not to do absolutely nothing. I will be her slave (for that day only).

I agree, next time you walk through the door after a bad day, first stop off at your favorite skimpy clothing retailer and in your best spaghetti western voice say: Put These On!......it helps if you can curl your lip.
