I Said a Bad Word : Loving Jacqui

I Said a Bad Word

Well, I was creating my new email address with my recently realized actual legal name, Christoph, when… somehow… by deleting it because the webmail was acting strangely, it deleted all my email addresses. Jacqui’s too.

I didn’t say the bad name yet… I said it when I called Jacqui, told her what happened, realized that I wanted to save those emails (because it takes 15-60 minutes for the deletion to go through), told her I had to go, hung up, and then she came on Windows Live Messenger.

I was short with her:

“Bye. TTYl.”

… as I was furiously printing/saving emails. Then she said something else supportive to me and I said a bad word…

“F***, I’m busy. Later.”

… and went back to printing/saving emails.

This wasn’t well considered and I think she took it personally. It’s rather like if our house was flooding and I realized we left the cat downstairs. She could be as supportive as she liked, but if I suddenly realized our cat was downstairs, I’m still gonna go, “Sh**, hun,” and run down stairs!

Alas, there was no flood and no cat and it was over instant messenger, not in person. She may not have taken it well even still, but still in my humble opinion, IM breeds misunderstandings and fights because you can’t “feel” the other person’s words.

Mind you, I would have been very short anyway.

All I will say is I know I love her, because I saved all of her emails, over 250, before I saved one of my software licences. And like any man, I love the software I’ve bought off the net and I paid cold hard cash for those programs so this should tell you something.

I think that is a common trait among men these days. Jacqui, don’t take it personally (I know this is hard…. I recently have had similar incidents with my boyfriend). Seems they don’t always realize how their words can impact us until afterwards. *sigh* they’ll learn.. one day..
Cheers

Nah Chris is a keeper so its all ok, all is forgiven.

Just hate it when you can always add PMS to all of the situations you “may have” over reacted.
