Don’t know if this is the right section of the forum, forgive me if it’s not, i just would like an opinion from you all.

Thing is, i was dating this very religious girl (i’m 24 and she is 21), i went to church with her just to make her happy (i’m atheist).
During mass, i was chatting with her and using my mobile phone cause i was really bored, she asked me to keep quite but i didn’t; i’m aware i’ve been stupid and disrespectful. After a while, she put one hand over my mouth and with the other hand she held my wrists tight so that i couldn’t move, at the beginning i tried to react and to speak (but obviously with her hand over my mouth it sounded like “mmmmm” :ehh:), but then i noticed people around us was watching me so i stopped. 😊
Honestly i felt really embarassed by the situation, but she is still angry with me and doesn’t want to apoogize for what she did. What do you think of it?

If you had acted as “stupid and disrespectful” in a theatre or a courtroom, do you think that you would have been treated better than you were treated by your friend?

If you act the fool and disturb people in a house of worship, you have to expect to be put down.

You should have probably been raised better, but better late than never to learn one of the basic points of etiquette and courtesy.

24 and acting less mature than 7 year old children? Frankly I’m surprised she’s putting up with you, I don’t think you are mature enough to be in a serious relationship

I think you are very immature.
 
I’ve tried to figure you out, and I am at a total loss. I don’t know if I have ever encountered someone who is as clueless and socially inept. Were you dropped on your head as a child, or maybe you were raised in a barn? Is Afluenza real?

Is your post real, or are you just a troll? I can’t believe it is real. Anyone who behaves like you could not survive in society or have a girlfriend.

I really hope your post isn’t real. If it is, I would recommend counseling or joining the military. You need to be taught social skills to survive in this world.

+1 for joining the military.

That’s solid advice man.👍

Well, I think maybe people are poking some fun at Intosh.

Personally, I find his story funny but doubtful.

It would be sort of like someone whipping out their cellphone and talking or texting during a funeral, birth, baptism, etc.

Literally no one could be that oblivious, even if they’d never set foot inside a church before.

On the other hand, if you actually are serious, Intosh, just apologize to your girlfriend and ask her to explain the situation to you.🙂

Amen.
CCC 2478 To avoid rash judgment, everyone should be careful to interpret insofar as possible his neighbor’s thoughts, words, and deeds in a favorable way:
Every good Christian ought to be more ready to give a favorable interpretation to another’s statement than to condemn it. But if he cannot do so, let him ask how the other understands it. And if the latter understands it badly, let the former correct him with love. If that does not suffice, let the Christian try all suitable ways to bring the other to a correct interpretation so that he may be saved.​
 
You were very disrespectful of her and others who had gathered to worship.
If you really won’t show proper decorum in church with her, you shouldn’t go.

What you did was not showing support. At all.
There was nothing inappropriate in what she did considering what you were doing.
I’ll give you an example. When a parent has a fussy child during Mass, they actually remove that child.

It’s not like she could do that to you. So she did what she could.

That was my first thought. Then I read his reply to some of the comments and was convinced this did not happen.

The story does seem a bit incredible.

Someone acts out like a fool in a house of worship which he is visiting to impress some gal, and then whines about people objecting to the guache behavior.

The fact that it was a Catholic church and he was embarrassing himself during mass is incidental to the behavior. Where else could you take this character where he might be “bored” and feel compelled to cause a ruckus? Would you take this guy to the library, or the symphony or a museum or art show, or any other faith’s temple?

Frankly i don’t understand your answers. I have admitted i acted badly and probably childish, i’ve learned the lesson and i wouldn’t do it again, but she closed my mouth in front of other people for a couple of minutes, publicly embarassing me, and that’s something i wouldn’t do to anybody in any occasion. She could have just walked away or sat somewhere else. I guess you religious people are used to “gag” anybody who doesn’t share your believes…

I suspect you’re a troll but Ill go ahead and play along. Forget the fact you were at mass for a second and set aside you’re hatred for Christianity as well. The way you behaved tells me you are either ignorant or extremely socially retarded. The fact that she had to cover your mouth to get you to shut up speaks volumes.Typical millennial behavior. No manners and a complete narcissist. Grow up dude.
 
Thanks for your answers, even though the vast majority of you have attacked me. You made me realize how annoyed and embarassed she could have felt and you’re probably right. I know I was wrong, that weekend i was feeling a bit tired and nervous because I had recently lost a temporary job, so probably I wasn’t in the mood to listen for an hour someone talking about things I have no interest in and I acted that way; obviously that does not justify me.
Still, I can’t help but feel nervous when I think about what she did to me and I believe i’m not going to say i’m sorry at least she doesn’t do that before, but maybe in the next few days I will change my mind.
