Ok, here we go. Sign this petition to my woman so I can go to the Splawn Convention without having it be a huge problem, guilt trip, or a break up!
Here’s the deal. She was raised in a family that is overly traditional and insecure, hence she is same way with no real explanation for why she should feel this way. It is her families opinion that one does not go away w/o the other and she can’t handle staying home alone, even it is only for two days. I know this may not make sense but it’s what I am dealing with.
So, I need some assistance here as for convincing her why that is unfair that I should miss out on something I am very interested in because of her insecurities/morals. I brought up the idea that she is co-dependant on people and it caused a huge stink so I give up for now. Help a Splawn brother out here. I may even have her read this thread!
p.s. this applies to shreder too but at least he is married and has a kid, which is more understandable circumstances than myself.

(only because she'll freak out once she sees that 500 people know your business and will break up with you on the spot...leaving you free to go to SplawnCon 07) |

I asked her but she doesn't really seem interested. I don't blame her there, what girl wants to hang with a bunch of dudes talking about amps and guitars? She hears more than she wants to at home about it! |

I think a better idea would be Celeste Smith’s “Wife School”…Teaching uptight wives and girlfriends how to be cool (and how to ROCK.)

I sign this petition and if she reads this maybe a glimmer of light will shine down on her so she can see how unfair and unreasonable she's being on this whole topic.

What your girlfriend needs to realize is she has a control issue with your relationship. Not her fault. Just the way she was brought up. What she may not realize is that she can change that. She has to trust you and let go of all that need to control the situation. If she can realize that then maybe, just maybe she'll have a chance of your relationship surviving and going to the next level. If she doesn't and continues down this same path it will inevitably end your relationship. Nobody wants to feel controlled. She'll be a much happier person knowing that she supported something that you're interested in and you'll return from the Splawn Convention with one thing on your mind. Her.
Is that a good enough reply to this thread? Dr. Scarlett has spoken.

Definitely, bring her.
One of two things will happen:
She will have a blast and love you even more
Or the splawn freaks will skuzz her out and she will break up with you….
Either way you win!!!!!!
Seriously dude…
They have a mall ½ mile away from the hotels on Remount and a spa on New Hope. Bribe her with a spa day.

This is what I need to say though I am never good at translating that at the time. I usually just end up saying something she doen't want to hear and then she gets upset. |
