Just got into an argument with my long distance girlfriend because she felt I wasn'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 can'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 didn'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 wasn't offering detailed responses because they were about very specific things that I couldn'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 wasn'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!
