Should my girlfriend be mad at me?

Question

my Girlfriend is a Persian. My religion, although you can find people all over the world, was founded in Iran.

Tonight there is a religious get together celebrating the new year. I told my girlfriend (who is not of this faith) that I was going.

She basically yelled at me and hung up on me. Because I was going to go to this get together with other Persians.

Should she be mad at me? Or is she just being selfish?

Answer 1

Did you invite her to go with you. If so then she is being selfish. But if not the she may be mad a the point that you didn't ask her to go with you (even if you knew that she wouldn't go).

Answer 2

Dude. It really depends on the situation. Does she have a reason to not want you to hang out with other Persians? Is there a history between you that involves something negative? What about the group of people, is it really about the religious aspect? Or is there someone in that group of your friends whom she doesn't want you to meet?

Without knowing that.-- IF your girlfriend is mad because you have a religious commitment-- then yes, she is being selfish and NO she shouldn't be mad.

The real question you want answered though is "Why". Talk to her, and if it is anything other than she doesn't respect YOUR belief in this religion, then, try to work it out!

Good luck!

Answer 3

Well, did you guys have something planned? if so, she has a right to be mad, but if not, yes, she is just being a little selfish. You know another thing is, like you said, she is not of your faith, and sometimes, that can cause a lot of discord, so the other alternative to that is, to really weigh your relationship and take a little time to look down the road, and see if it's a problem now, believe it's only gonna get worse, because a house divided against itself can't stand. So really think about it, and try to find out why she was so angry, it could be something else all together. Sit down with her and really find out what the real problem is. Talk.

Answer 4

An understanding girl would realize that you are of a different faith of her's and that you are going to an event that she wouldn't understand. But, just because she isn't your faith, why can't she go? Is it because she doesn't believe in what you are doing and she doesn't want to be a part of it? If this is so, you probably shouldn't be together.

Answer 5

If it makes her that angry, and she is that passionate about her beliefs, she should not be dating you unless you want to convert to her religion. Find yourself a nice Persian girl at the get-together!

Answer 6

She sounds really immature and self centered. I commend you on celebrating your faith. A qoute I heard a long time ago "The first thing you put before God is the First thing you will lose" Perhaps just let her have her tissy fit as many girls do ... she will get past it.

Answer 7

I don't think that she should be mad at you. It's not your fault if she isn't the same religion as you. She shouldn't have yelled at you... i mean, it's not like you're going to change your religion for her.. sounds a little rediculous, if you ask me.

Answer 8

shes being selfish.... you are going to a celebration for ur religion she should have no issues with it...just go and let her be mad and if she continues to be mad at you for it then leave her because obviously she wouldnt be worth it for you

Answer 9

No she shouldn't be mad, at least respect your religion; did you invited her? tell her to come with you, not to change her faith or whatever but just so she can understand and respect you

Answer 10

She doesn't have the right to get mad at you. That's your religion and she should respect that. That's a part of you that no one can change.
