If it was my girlfriend I would have a talk about that phone and if she can't leave it alone when I am with her them maybe she is trying to say something about you. I would give her a choice: You and me or you and the phone, the choice is yours. To me it's about lack of respect for you.

I think that is rude. Often I will meet my husband at a restaurant for dinner. Most of the time he is on the phone when I get there, as soon as I get there he gets off the phone. He will not answer while we are eating, he returns calls after we leave the restaurant. He is there to spend time with me and our kids not to talk on the phone. Have you told your gf how you feel about it? she may just not realize it bothers you.

I have experienced it myself. I did this to my bf several times, and he told me that he did not like it. I never thought about how he felt, because I didn't think it bothered him. I had to think about it and put myself in that situation and I realized that I would feel the same way. Just talk to her and let her know how you feel.

unless its an emergancy she is being very rude and to tell you the truth I would get up and walk out telling her that when she isnt so busy on the phone that you will go out again and if you are at a resturant Id still do the same thing and hope she has money for the bill and taxi because I wouldnt pay for her talking on the phone Im sure she will get the hint and shut it off next time. My boyfriend always turns his off and I ignore mine cant turn it off because of kids.

Yep!!...you are very correct...when she is with you she should not do this!!!...as its not only with you but with who ever we go and infront of that person if we keep on taklking on ur phone...it really looks too bad...basiocally that peron feels it so neglecyted which is not good for nay relationship. If only very imporatnt call is to attned people should ask for excuse and then only have to receive a call!!!

I surely agree with you. This would be very annoying. Have a suggestion if found appropriate try doing the same with her. If she finds its annoying too do tell her that you too miss her presence when she is busy talking to others.

Oh my gosh! Your girlfriend does this? No offense but I think this is rude and inconsiderate! I honestly don't think she respects you or just not that into you... I think she's trying to tell you that her friends or whoever she's talking to is MORE important than you... Is she really that worth it???

have the courage to tell her about it. dont tolerate it so she will not be abuse. Sometimes girls if not told about it they might think its ok with you. so you must be open to her. Tell her what you feel about it that you dont like it so she will minimize it or better she will eliminate it.

It's rude! You shouldn't tolerate it. Talk to her nicely about it some time - not at the moment that it's happening. Tell her how it makes you feel and try to work something out. If I were in your shoes, I would feel as though my company is not as important as the person she's talking to, and in that case, I probably wouldn't want to be with that person. You better set up some boundaries before things get worse!

Talk to her and let her know how you feel about it. If she throws a fit then that isn't the kind of person you want to be with anyway. Communication is the key to any successful relationship.
