There’s always some miscommunication in a relationship, it’s normal and a part of life.

But stressful places and situations can make a small misunderstanding seem like the worst thing in the world.

For this person, his girlfriend and him had a disagreement in the airport and it escalated to break-up level drama.

Let’s get the full story…

AITA for Misunderstanding Where to Meet My GF After Our Flight?

My girlfriend and I were traveling home after a trip across the US. I splurged and bought first class airfare.

We had a tight time to make our connection in Dallas to change planes.

I had an upset stomach that day and the previous day which made me need to go to the toilet frequently.

As the plane stopped at the gate and they let people off the plane, I got her bag down from the overhead bin and put it in my seat.

She did not get up and said to me, “I’ll meet you at the gate.” I said okay and left the plane.

Seems like they’re on the same page.

I bolted toward the toilet as soon as I was in the terminal. There was a long line at the restroom, and I waited a minute or two but I was out of time to make the connection.

Once at the gate, the plane was already boarded and there was no sign of the girlfriend.

I wasn’t sure if she had gotten there first after my useless stop at the restroom. So I went on into the jet bridge.

There were a few people in there are still waiting to get on the airplane.

Within a minute, I looked back and the girlfriend was also in the line waiting to get on the plane. She was no more than three or four people behind me.

I got onto the plane and put my bag in the overhead bin and waited there until she came in.

I tried to put her bag in the overhead bin as I normally do and she refused to let me do that. Then she sat in her seat and said tersely that she couldn’t believe I left her.

I asked what did she mean by that?

She’s clearly upset.

She repeated that she couldn’t believe anyone would just leave someone like that. She was very angry.

I said that she had told me to meet her at the gate.

She said that she meant the gate from the previous flight and not the gate for the next flight.

I tried to explain the bathroom situation and that I’ve never heard someone say “meet me at the gate” means the gate from the previous flight.

She was having none of it and told me I never listen to her. I said she should’ve been more clear about it and that I was desperate to use the bathroom.

Then she asked if I wanted her to get up and leave. I told her if she wanted to get up and leave, she could get up and leave.

She got up and went to the flight attendant (FA) and had a long conversation with her. I could hear her saying that I had made her uncomfortable, and she didn’t feel comfortable sitting next to me.

That’s a huge accusation.

The FA asked a man if he would swap seats with her. He obliged, and I sat next to a stranger on the final leg of my romantic trip.

FA glared at me like I was a criminal. Clearly gf had suggested something more than she was just uncomfortable.

To add an insult to injury, I ended up having to make my stinky business in the little bathroom at the front of the plane. The FA banged on the door and told me to get out bc the plane was ready to leave.

Clearly, everyone knew something had transpired between gf and me and FA was giving me a hard time.

AITA for not waiting at the previous gate? Did I need her permission to go to the bathroom?

Did she overreact by moving to a different seat?

Let’s see what the comments say.

Most Reddit users said the girlfriend was definitely in the wrong.

This person even thinks she’s dangerous.

While others had similar experiences.

Overall, it was a clear miscommunication.

She had a serious over-reaction that might end her entire relationship.
