just got into an argument with my long distance girlfriend because she felt i was n't listening to her closely enough while we were on the phone . she hung up , mad . truth is , i was trying to do some work while talking to her , but i was listening as best i could , too . oh no ! its always tough in relationships but when you ca n't go see her or make her talk to you afterwards , i 'm sure its extra hard . did you call back and tell her that ? i did n't . it 's late at night and she 's already tired . she had a hard day at work , and she was telling me about it . i was n't offering detailed responses because they were about very specific things that i could n't necessarily give a lot of insight to . so , i was just trying to be broadly supportive . she heard me clicking on something in the background , so she flipped and thought i was n't paying attention at all . i 'm sure once she calms down , she will look on it as not as big of a deal . if you have to work , you have to work . i hope you can work it out !
