just got into an argument with my long distance girlfriend because she felt i was not listening to her closely enough while we were on the phone. she hung up, mad. truth is, i was trying to do some work while talking to her, but i was listening as best i could, too.
i am sure once she calms down, she will look on it as not as big of a deal. if you have to work, you have to work. i hope you can work it out!
i did not. it is late at night and she is already tired. she had a hard day at work, and she was telling me about it. i was not offering detailed responses because they were about very specific things that i could not necessarily give a lot of insight to. so, i was just trying to be broadly supportive. she heard me clicking on something in the background, so she flipped and thought i was not paying attention at all.
