When I called, my girlfriend said I was impatient with her. What should I do? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

When I called, she kept swiping through the videos and ignored me. I said a lot of things, and she just said, "Oh," and "Hm." Then she stopped swiping through the videos. I kind of didn't want to talk anymore. She said I was impatient with her.

Hello, dear questioner!

From what you've told me, it seems like you've been chatting away with your girlfriend, but her lack of enthusiasm has made you feel like maybe it's time to take a break from talking. It's also clear that her behavior has made you feel a little disappointed and sad. I can totally understand how you feel!

It's totally normal for lovers to go through this. We give our passion, but the other person doesn't always see it. It can make us feel impatient and uncomfortable. They also see you because your girlfriend didn't give you a timely response. They might have similar reactions and behaviors. So he might also say impatient things to you.

Let's see how we can solve this together!

[1] It's so important to learn to communicate face-to-face and actively.

It's the same with your girlfriend. If she's playing with her phone when you want to talk to her, it's probably not the best time. You could say something like, "Honey, I need to talk to you. Could you put down your phone for a sec?" Or you could just say, "I want to share something with you. Could you please put down your phone?" When we communicate in a kind and respectful way, and express our needs, the other person will take care of our feelings. And they'll respect us in return.

[2] It's so important to learn to express your feelings and needs directly.

As we mentioned in the last article, when we need someone to do something, it's so important to be brave and express our feelings and needs. This can help us avoid feeling depleted and influenced by others' words or actions. Learning to express ourselves directly is a crucial step on our journey to growth.

[3] It's so important to learn to be aware of foreplay and not be affected by emotions.

It's so important to remember that we don't have to take on other people's emotions. We can't make others feel a certain way, and we can't let others make us feel a certain way either. We are responsible for ourselves and our own feelings. When we're feeling a certain way, it's good to take a moment to understand what's going on inside us. We can think about what we're feeling, find a word to describe it, think about why we're feeling it, and then come up with a solution.

[4] Intimacy is all about understanding, respecting, and supporting each other.

I know you're feeling pretty disappointed and devastated right now. It's also because the other person hasn't responded to you, and you feel disrespected. It's totally understandable! All relationships require timely responses and mutual understanding and support. You also need to learn to respect that when you need the other person to do something, you can directly express your needs and let the other person fulfill them. Of course, if the other person doesn't care about your feelings, that's not an act of respecting you. You need to consider how this relationship needs to be in order to influence the other person to fulfill our needs.

I really hope these thoughts help you out!

Good day. I am Strawberry.

The most detrimental aspect of interpersonal dynamics within a relationship is when one's partner attempts to exert control through directives. In the aforementioned scenario, the questioner attempted to initiate a conversation with his girlfriend, only to find her engaged in an alternative activity, displaying minimal attention and offering a perfunctory response. This lack of engagement and responsiveness from the girlfriend significantly impeded the questioner's ability to sustain the conversation. Upon reaching a point of diminishing interest in the discussion, the questioner's girlfriend ceased her video viewing but then proceeded to accuse him of impatience, further exacerbating the situation.

The presence of unequal status within the relationship is a significant factor that contributes to the observed dynamics.

From the questioner's account, it appears that he is more tolerant of his girlfriend than she is of him. He does not express his thoughts and feelings to her as often as he would like. This may be because he has tried to express them but has not been heard, or it may be that he is simply used to not expressing them.

If one's partner calls and one is otherwise engaged, it is acceptable to simply say so. If the matter at hand is inconsequential, one may choose to postpone addressing it for a period of time. The behavior of the questioner's girlfriend suggests that she has certain expectations of the questioner. When she is not inclined to interact with him, she does not want to be bothered. However, when she requires his attention, she expects it to be provided immediately.

A woman may be persuaded, but she cannot act on the strength of a man's love. When the questioner wishes to converse with her, her perfunctory demeanor indicates a lack of interest. When the questioner is emotional, she is indifferent, instead attributing the questioner's impatience to her own shortcomings. Tolerance and accommodation have not afforded the questioner equal treatment. In this relationship, an unequal status will inevitably lead to further complications.

The absence of effective communication

It is possible that similar issues have been overlooked on more than one occasion, and it was only when a conflict emerged that the questioner posed their query on the platform. In this context, there is a sense of both helplessness and helplessness. The inability to resolve the matter is a source of frustration, and the lack of resolution can lead to feelings of hurt.

The underlying cause of this pattern of interaction between the questioner and his partner is a lack of communication. Effective communication serves as the foundation for any relationship, facilitating the maintenance and enhancement of the bond between two individuals.

It is typically advisable to express one's thoughts more clearly, to speak up about the problems one has with one's partner at the appropriate time, and to allow for mutual change. When communicating, one can begin by discussing one's own problems, inquiring as to whether one is an unsuitable lover, and allowing the other partner to perceive the difficulty of the questioner's inquiry, thereby recognizing that the relationship also presents challenges on her part.

The Five Love Languages

It is a fallacy to assume that love is innate; rather, it is a learned behavior that requires time, effort, and patience to cultivate. The process of developing a loving relationship entails gradually understanding each other's needs, communicating effectively, and learning to compromise.

Many individuals repeatedly fail to achieve success in the domain of love due to the utilization of ineffective methodologies. They assume that their endeavors will invariably be acknowledged, yet they are unaware that the inappropriate kind of effort will, conversely, be taken for granted and go unnoticed.

The Five Love Languages quiz can be utilized by the host to facilitate learning with their girlfriend.

☀️ Time for love: One may engage in activities with one's partner, such as going for walks, playing games, shopping together, and so forth, with the aim of fostering a deeper connection and creating more beautiful moments for the two of them.

☀️A Gift of Love: The presentation of a gift, prepared with care, can serve to demonstrate one's consideration for and affection towards a loved one.

☀️ Loving Actions: It is recommended that partners engage in actions that serve and care for each other, demonstrate genuine understanding and appreciation, and engage in activities that are meaningful to both parties.

☀️Love's Praise: It is recommended that couples engage in frequent verbal expressions of encouragement, praise, and positive affirmation regarding each other's actions and behaviors.

☀️Touch of love: Enhance the emotional bond between the two individuals through physical contact, such as kissing, hugging, holding hands, and touching the head.

It is my hope that my response will prove beneficial to the original poster.

Hello, question owner. I'll give you a hug. When the question owner called his girlfriend, she was watching videos and didn't pay much attention to the question owner. Her response was also rather perfunctory. In this situation, it's hard for the question owner to continue the conversation. I can understand this kind of mood. It's really annoying, and the passion you put into it is met with indifference.

If your partner calls and you're busy, tell them you'll call back. If what you're doing is trivial, put it off. Your girlfriend has expectations of you. When I don't want to deal with you, I don't want to be bothered. When I need you, you have to do it right away.

As a listener, you are not absolutely neutral in matters. Consider your girlfriend's expectations for you and the usual details from many aspects. Many women today are self-righteous and think they are a patriarch at home and a princess when they go out. Everyone wants to be respected and cared for, and men are no exception. These are not the patents of women.

Women can be coaxed, but they can't keep acting like they're relying on a man's love. When the OP wanted to chat with her, her perfunctory attitude showed that she didn't care, or that she cared about you, but that was just her personality and a bad habit she'd picked up since childhood.

When the questioner is emotional, she is still pretentious and impatient. She is wrong to blame herself for being impatient with her girlfriend. She is doing a good job, being tolerant, accommodating, understanding, respectful, and treating her girlfriend as an equal. This is the point.

Let's find the problem together.

First, there is a lack of proper communication. When communicating, you must first talk about your own problems and ask your girlfriend if you are an unqualified lover. This will show her that she also has her own problems in this relationship.

Second, people are not born loving themselves. They can only see the faults of others, never their own. Your girlfriend is just such a person. She is unable to perceive her own abilities.

We must spend time together, getting to know each other and learning to get along.

3. He's too self-important. Was he an only child in his family of origin, or were his parents overbearing and indulgent, and did they cover up for his mistakes? He always needs others to tolerate him.

I'm going to give you some suggestions.

1. You can have some private time with your lover! Go for walks, play games, go shopping, watch movies together, and consider whether this person is the one you need most. If they don't score 60-70 points, don't insist, because changing someone is really hard.

2. Show your love in action. Let him feel it, let him know what you are doing, let him know what you are thinking, and show him what needs you are fulfilling. If she can't understand, tell her. Serve and care for her in action so that you can truly see each other.

3. Every woman wants to be cared for and accompanied. Make him feel that you are distancing yourself from him and make him anxious. If she doesn't feel anxious about your leaving, then you know what to do!

I am confident that the above suggestions will help you. Listen to your heart, the world, and I love you!

I wish you the best.

Amos Miller Life is a cycle of giving and receiving.

I understand how frustrating that can be. It seems like she was really caught up in what she was watching. Maybe we can find a better time to chat when she's not distracted.

Mira Davis Failure is the shadow that follows success, a reminder of the journey.

It felt like she wasn't really listening, and that can be really upsetting. I guess sometimes people don't realize how their actions come across until it's pointed out.

She might not have noticed how it made you feel at the moment. Communication is key; maybe discussing how her behavior affected you could help improve your interaction next time.
