The other night my son went to a hockey game with a friend and I was going to pick him up when they got home. So i went to my girlfriends house for dinner. Into the evening we decided to be intimate. Before we did I wanted to text my son to see when he would be home so I knew how much time i had. Before I could send the text I recieved one from my son's friend's dad saying they were running a little behind and would call me when they were close to home. So i said ok. I told my girlfriend I would be in the bed waiting if she wanted to join me. She came in and went into the bathroom first. I realized i had left my phone in the living room so I went in got it and put it next to the bed. She came out and asked if I had got my phone. I said yes so I could hear it when it went off so I could either hear the text or answer it if the parents called. Well she got pissed at me and said I didn't need my phone near me I could hear it in the living room, and that she wanted an intimate moment with me without my phone being in the room. As a parent I felt more comfortable having my phone near me incase the parent's called, I wouldn't want to miss the call especially since they had my son and I would have to pick him up. She said so you would answer the phone in the middle of being intimate? I explained I have a responsibility and couldn't miss the call. Well it turned into a big fight about how she wanted a moment with just me, but as a parent I do have a responsibility. Am I wrong in having the phone near me? Was I wrong in general?

On a side note we have been together for over a year and I only have my son 2 to 3 days a week and every other weekend, so we do have time alone.
