So... just had my one month anniversary with my girlfriend. We were super lovey dovey until last sunday. Here's what happened:
On Saturday, my family celebrated Orthodox Xmas. Large gathering. First time my girl met my extended family. Upon arrival, she hits someone's car.
She calls. I was already waiting for her. I look out the window. I get my sandals on (it is winter, snowy outside, and I'm wearing dress clothes) and go outside.
That whole situation gets taken care of. Or so I thought.
Just wait, more backstory.
Sunday, she discovers one of her cats had swallowed a bunch of ribbon. She had to take him in for surgery. He's fine now. However, during one point, she called me to give an update. I was sitting alone in my family room watching football. At the same time she called, my family arrived home. Things got loud. I was trying to listen to my girlfriend. I got up and left because it was too loud.
So what's the problem?
Well... apparently... I did not get up and leave the room fast enough. I thought she was joking with me at first. She got very confrontational.
"Don't you think you should have left the room?"
"I did"
"But only AFTER I said something"
"The loudness of the room was self-evident. I would have left regardless"
"But if it were me, I would have left before someone even said something"
"I'm sorry. My reaction was slow. I was also stoned."
GASP
"Oh you were stoned. Well maybe I was expecting someone to be... more considerate"
Suddenly, my marijuana usage becomes a point of emphasis. Because, being a psychic, I should have not smoked on Sunday, during the day, while relaxing and watching football... BECAUSE HER CAT MIGHT SWALLOW FOUR FEET OF RIBBON AND I MIGHT NEED TO BE AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE SUITABLE REACTION COMMENTARY WHEN SHE CALLS ME TO GIVE ME UPDATES
This might be the most petty "fight" I've ever been in.
