Fresh off the wonderful time that Janet and I shared with my
family, I somehow got in a bit of trouble with her and I totally
didn't see it coming.
What happened was that I told Janet I couldn't hang out one night
because I had a ton of work to do. Which was true. But Janet also
knew I was planning to take my just-a-friend Margo
out to dinner, as a thank-you for designing my cool new business
cards.
All seemed okay, right?
Right. Well, up until Janet called later that night,
super-upset.
Look, I don't want to be the nagging girlfriend, but because of
my schedule, we never get to go out to dinner, and tonight, for
once, I'm free, and you're out with another girl. How do you
think that makes me feel?"
Janet, please," I said. "I'm sorry. I didn't see it that way
at all. And wait, I thought you were going out with your friend
Mark tonight?"
"I only threw that out there because you had plans."
"Okay, but how was I supposed to know that?"
"It's just, I'm your girlfriend ," she said. I wish
you would think of me first."
I mean, I do feel bad, but did I really deserve to get yelled at
for this? I feel like it's similar to the time we fought about the
snowboarder girl Michelle, except a hundred times less
fight-worthy. We eventually patched things up, but I'd love to
hear your thoughts readers.
