She accused me of having an emotional affair with an old girlfriend. This woman lives across the country and I talk to her maybe 3 or 4 times a week. I call her, but she is in an abusive marriage and I am trying to convince her to leave her husband.
She said that I am inconsiderate because I sometimes finish off food at home without checking first to see if she wants any or wants to give some to our son. I work double shifts once a week and when I come home I usually look for whatever can go into the microwave so I can eat, shower, and fall asleep.
She complained that when I got a new cell phone, I gave my old one to my co-worker whose cell phone died, rather than giving it to her. I'm not sure if she's mad because she wanted a newer phone or because the co-worker is female.
She said that I never stay up when the baby is sick. I'm not sure what to say about this. I wasn't even aware he was sick that often. I know that I went to bed a couple times when he was crying, but babies cry all the time, right?
She said that I'm not romantic, that I only buy her practical gifts and never take her any place nice. I'm not sure what kinds of gifts she wants. Jewelry maybe? I wanted to buy her some victoria's secret, but she's still about 20 lbs overweight from the baby and I thought it would make her feel fat if I bought her a large. So I bought a diaper genie thing because she complained about having to take the trash out every time the baby took a shit. I don't know what she means about a nice place to go out. For her birthday we went to Red Lobster which cost me a lot.
She wanted to quit her job because her boss was always hitting on her. I thought, well its a good job and our son goes to the day care on the next street, so I went down to her job and told her boss that if he did anything funny I'd smash his face in. He turned all red and said that he was just being friendly. I thought she'd be happy, but she said that she still wanted to quit because now he'd give her bad shifts. I already think her shifts are bad because she doesn't work during the busy times when there are a lot of tips. So I said that maybe she'd be better off working nights because then she's make more money and we wouldn't need day care because she could just drop him off with her mom after her mom gets home from work. After all, he's baby. He goes to bed at 7:30 anyway.
I guess the thing that she was most mad about (since she wrote 3 pages about it) is that I asked her if I could have a b.j. for my birthday since the doctor said she couldn't go back on the pill while she was breast-feeding and its been 11 months since we had sex.
I didn't do any of these things to be a bad guy or "mfing bastard" as she called me. I guess I was clueless.
