Believe it or not, I can be a real bitch, especially when I'm annoyed. I make comments that I don't realize until afterwards are mean.
I do this to Shael a lot apparently. He mentioned it to me the week before break. That Tuesday he offered to pick me up from my last class so I wouldn't have to walk, it's pretty far. I told him that it ended at 5:15. Well, he thought I had said 5:00. So at 5, when I was still in class, he called a few times to see if I still wanted a ride, but I couldn't answer because I sit in the front row. When I got out of class 15 minutes later, I called him back and was pretty annoyed that he could remember something so simple. I said something to the effect of "well, that's alright, i'm not surprised, you never remember anything I say." The second that left my mouth I regretted it because I knew it wasn't true. I was just irritated you know? So anyway, he ended up avoiding me for the next two days. Didn't return my calls, or my messages even after I had apologized. Needless to say it really bothers him. He told me after that he was mad at me because I had said that, and he just wanted to be alone for a couple days.
Last night I slipped and made a comment about him slacking off in his classes. I apologized, but got no response. I guess I should just expect a lonely couple of days.

Hey, after a few million words or so, everyone is bound to say a few things they would have rather not have said. You just go on, and try to do better the next time around. You really should not spend any nights alone because of what you may or may not have said. Being alone is no response for what you have said. A simple sorry should suffice. Make love, not war is a little on the dramatics, but keeps a relationship on track.
