Soap-Opera
My girlfriend Nian is probably upset with me today because I didn’t call her last night. We had spent most of the last few evenings together and last night we were taking a break, and I had planned to go to the gym. We had exchanged a few short emails during the day and she was upset by something she and her friend Lucy had talked about. I asked if she wanted to get together and talk, but she replied no. I figured that whatever it was I would get it out of her more easily in person. I left for the gym, had a fairly exhausting workout. I thought about Nian and myself, it’s hard not to. We have only been together a short time, but it has been very intense and emotional at times.
Nian does not have a phone at her student housing, so if I call I have to call at the office where she studies. On evenings in the past when I have called I often get someone on the other end who doesn’t speak English very well and it is hard to know if I leave a message whether it is understood. So I didn’t dwell on whether I should try to reach Nian at her office.
Today I arrive at work and there is a letter about her waiting and waiting for my call. To be honest I don’t remember saying I would call, but I might have said I would call. I really just don’t remember. Still I am perplexed she would just sit by the phone and suffer rather than just call me herself. This tendency for women to read too much into every action or inaction by a man is quite frustrating.
I’m sure I will see Nian latter today, and there will be some words of rebuke or maybe a few tears. I don’t know. I’m sure it will all be OK again soon. Stay tuned, I’m sure there will be more soap-opera to come.
Oh, and Nian has been asking me about why I haven’t been keeping my blog up to date. I’m sure when she reads this one she’ll have mixed feelings about encouraging me to blog. :D
