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 - 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 ...

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
