writes:Dear CupidWhile at a bar with my girlfriend the d.j. announced some girls b-day over the loud speakers. Turns out the girl and her friends were facing me maybe five few feet away. I smiled at the ridiculous spectacle they were making and raised my glass in a cheer. My girlfriend returned from the bathroom and saw this. She erupted in uncontrollable anger. I explained to her what happened with no effect. She accused me of flirting, etc. I had to run out of the bar with her in tow causing a terrible scene. Who hasn't had a stranger wish them a happy b-day in a bar? Isn't this an unreasonable reaction?

i think its a girl thing. the like to hav their territory marked. i can c why, seeing only what she saw that she would react how she did, maybe a bit extreme, but i would hav hoped she woudlt listen before storming out(or not at all). but being annoyed until you explain seems fine.
so unless there is something else, i think she just needs to feel reassured that you only have eyes for her, just build her self confidence.

Certainly sounds like a ridiculous over-reaction on her part to me. She must be incredibly jealous and insecure.
If you've got a pet bunny, I'd be worried about its future safety, mate.

I remember new years i was with my boyfriend, and he was wishing other girls happy new year. he had me in his arms and had just been kissing and i was fine with it because iknew hes mine! If anything i liked it because the girls were looking at him in admiration and i just realised how lucky i am.
Maybe shes not very confident in herself, or maybe you havent shown her enough that your serious? I dont think you did the wrong thing but it sounds like she was alredy unsure, it does seem like an over reaction. I gues some reasssurance wouldn't go a-miss! good luck!xxx

 Yes, it is unreasonable....unless of course there is more to it. Do you have a history of cheating/flirting?
