writes:So the major problem started about a week ago when my girlfriends car broke down, I offered to tow it to her house but she said it was ok. Her grandma and sister then later went and moved it to the gas station just down the street. They called my girlfriend and said that the gas attendant guy there said he was a mechanic and would fix it. When my girlfriend got off school her grandma picked her up and told her this guy was gonna have his friend tow the truck to my girlfriends house, and work on it in her driveway. My girlfriend called me and asked me what I think and I said it was a stupid idea to let some man and his friend you don't know come over to your house. Her grandma and sister took it that I called them stupid and so they are upset. Her mom thinks that I called them stupid and that I am a bad boyfriend because I didnt go tow the truck to her house, It got towed to her house through AAA because her uncle had it and got it for free. So my question is what I should do next? My girlfriends mom is furiuos with me, her sister and grandma's feelings are hurt. Should I just go over and apologize for hurting their feelings or should I let it blow over? Reply to this Question

 Apologize - it is the best way to smooth things over and stop her family from being angry with you. You dont want any bad feelings between you so best thing to do is apologize.
Just say something like "I am really sorry if you thought I was calling you stupid, this was not what I meant at all but if I hurt your feelings in any way then I am truly sorry for this. My only concern was that two unknown men were going to be at my girlfriend's house and I was worried about her safety, hence why I thought it was a bad idea to have them around to the house. I never meant it to sound like I thought you were stupid at all, I would never think such a thing and again I am very sorry about all of this."
That should do the trick!

 You shouldnt let it blow over because it may never. They could always hold it against you.
