Yeah, well, girlfriends don't believe this "she's one of my best friends bit," believe me, it happened to me.

She'll snap out of it, eventually. But try to not let her see that you're annoyed, or at least don't get into a big fight because of it. It'll be over soon... I suppose.

I hadn't seen Jim's in a long time so I made my own.

YES! I think my girlfriend is cheating on me! That means I can go for the other girl. The is the best Easter ever.

Ray and I have very different/similar things going on right now.

What in the hell is that for?

[QUOTE=Illmatic]I try to take you seriously, but if you're going to pull all this whiny, bullsh[size=2]it self-pity nonsense you can go fu[/size]ck yourself.[/QUOTE]

Excuse me? Who the fuc[size=2]k are you to say something like that? I have no time or reason for self-pity, so you can shove that down your throat.

I was alluding that even if I gave decent advice, I feared that you would just cast it aside because I obviously can't empathize with your situation, and you currently exhibit enough as[/size]shole tendencies to probably do that.

Dude, calm down, stop being negative Nancy, seriously. You really expected to get sympathy in mx? Just chill man.

I'm sorry, but you've said something along the lines of, "No one takes me seriously" in the past.

And the only reason I even posted it there in the first place was to get some sort of advice, particularly from you or ATM or someone like that. I wanted your advice, I wanted your opinion, I would have listened. So when you basically say, "I'm not going to bother to help", that adds to my already-irritated mood (thanks to the matter at hand) and makes me say things like that.

You know what, I'm going to post what I think anyways. This will probably take me a few minutes to think.

To me, it seems like your girlfriend doesn't understand the friendship you have with your friend. If she understood the circumstances of your friendship, then she wouldn't be checking in on you. Yeah, it probably pisses you off that she keeps calling and checking in on you, but shouldn't that be a red flag that your girl doesn't recognize the strength of your friendship with the other girl?

It just seems like there is a slight miscommunication on there. Do I blame your girlfriend for calling you, supposedly incessantly? Not really, because I would be a bit tentative if I didn't know the story completely.

I also think that hanging up on her wasn't the right call there. You should have just explained it a bit more civilly until it got through to her... just say, "Listen, this is a girl who I have been friends with before I met you. I was her closest guy friend before I left for uni. As a result, she feels abandoned. Would you blame her? Please trust me, I am trying to catch up with her because I miss her friendship and I haven't seen her face-to-face in weeks/months/whatever." Or something to that effect.

I wouldn't lose patience with your girlfriend until you swear you've explained it to her clearly.

Now, you could just ignore your phone when it goes off, but that would make her worry even more if you don't explain things to her.

In summary, all I'm saying is that it appears your girlfriend doesn't understand the friendship as well as you claim she does. You can say you've explained it over and over, but she obviously doesn't "get it." You should understand why she'd be worried if you haven't explained things clearly so she "gets it." If you have to resort to her repeating your situation, then do it. Whatever makes her understand more.

Has your girlfriend met your friend?

I've graduated to the big leagues men, I have over a thousand posts in this thread :chug:

Bravo. :chug:

See, yeah, that's what I've been trying to do. Maybe girlfriends just don't understand friendships between men and women?

I already did explain the story...maybe I put too much emphasis on the fact that the girl was an ex and not enough on the fact that she's one of my best friends. I dunno.

Either way, I appreciate the advice but it came a little late...she called for a fourth time (I didn't pick twice after the call that set everything off) and was in tears, so I felt bad just to start the call.

Turns out, she overreacted a little...her family was telling her things like, "don't let him get away" and she got paranoid about me and this friend. She apologized for overreacting, I apologized for overreacting to that, and now everything's good.

(How come we're suckers for crying women? I don't get it)

Cheers :chug:

So to sum up what I missed: fighting?

1. I don't think they do, from what I've witnessed.

2. That could be, but at least it worked out.

3. It's fine, see last 2/3 of #2.

When you sign up you can give someone a referral. Basically means they got someone to sign up.

No, it's because you care about them...and crying=bad so you want to make them feel good. If you didn't care you wouldn't feel bad :)
