history: Just got into an argument with my long distance girlfriend because she felt I wasn't 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.

Its always tough in relationships but when you can't go see her or make her talk to you afterwards_comma_ I'm sure its extra hard.  Did you call back and tell her that?
current: I didn't. It's late at night and she's already tired. She had a hard day at work, and she was telling me about it. I wasn't offering detailed responses because they were about very specific things that I couldn't 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 wasn't paying attention at all.
next: I'm 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!
