I think the smartest thing he did was leave the phone off. The sooner you know you are dating psychobitch, the better.

Agreed.

Best thing he did.

'Gold' is the word! She's passionate, you've gotta give her that. It's normally the blokes that have trouble listening...

Okay, I shared this with pretty much everyone at work! Champagne comedy!

However, and it may be strange, but I actually feel a little sorry for Em...the girl definitely has 'issues'.

To be fair to Em, if my girlfriend just stopped speaking or responding to me, I would have been apoplectic too. She's a self-absorbed moron for not being aware that her boyfriend was going on holiday, but if you set that part aside her behaviour is more understandable. She's not the only one who has made stupid decisions while in pain.

where's the icon for backpedalling?

It's amazing how much "honesty" comes out when you no longer care what the other person thinks about your opinion.

Now that's damn funny.

And how true, Rdhopeca.

I can understand being upset that he stopped replying to her, but, five days. That's how long it took her to dump him. That's a little too quick, don't you think?

Not backpedalling, just modified pedalling. I took some extra time to empathise a bit more. There's never just one point of view.

The extremity of her reaction was ludicrous, and he (whoever he is) is well rid of her. But the basic principles of the way she reacted aren't entirely unreasonable. I've had the blank shut-out before (a real one, not a 'whoops, I'm on holiday' one), and it's horrendously infuriating. Again, her reaction is extreme, but given what she knew and didn't know, it's not quite as bizarre as it initially seemed.

Meh, I'm an empathiser. I understand all points of view. That's why people find my advice irritating.

Yeah...me too. She must be single. Anybody have her number?

Was Em a little crazy? You bet. But there are some problems I have with the guy... like why the hell he did not send any form of communication to Em in the form of postcards, or dare I say, e-mail? I'm sure there are plenty of Internet Cafes which he could have used every once in a while, but he didn't. What guy decides to go elsewhere for two weeks and not contact their significant other at all during that entire time?

The guy who told her right before he left, "Honey I'm going to Europe for two weeks..."? She had broken up with before 5 days was out, and slept with someone else within a week. So even if he had said "Honey, I'm going to Europe for two weeks and won't be in touch til Saturday..." do you think she would have even heard him, or acted any differently?
