You know what, I don't know about other women, but if I am to do everything without any support the way I do it alone, then I've no need for anybody - at least not on a permanent basis. I'm perfectly capable of struggling on my own and don't need any help in that area; therefore, I don't need the additional stress of somebody else's idiosyncrasies, either.
I continue being baffled that this girl is still around and I'm no longer kidding... She ought to be a masochist.
Don't forget to send me your address so I can invite you to the wedding.
She might have Daddy now, but he won't be around forever. Eventually she'll have to rely on this dear BF ('cause I doubt he'll ever graduate to husband) for some support, which is not his strong suit. Then again, a lot of water will be under the bridge until then. She may have a supportive BF by that time - if she wakes up that is.
It was funny - where I worked once a woman came in late to work, explaining how she had a flat tire. She said at least her husband came back into the house to inform her that her tire was flat so she might want to try to leave early.
She sighed and said "well I wanted equality so it looks like I got equality." Except then she added that she would probably have offered to help him if it had been his flat tire.

I sure hope, for her sake, there isn't one. If there is, send me an invitation to the court hearing.
Good to know your birthday. I've never dealt with Aries and will remember not to if I can help it.
It shouldn't have to be that drastic -- not when she told him she had AAA and her Dad on the way and it was 2 pm on a well traveled road AND she knew he was working.
Now he knows next time she expects a call even if she failed to mention that when the opportunity was right there to mention that.
I think he should tell her it would be good if she would tell him directly when she wants a follow up call in that kind of situation.
I think the whole problem was that he wasn't worried about her situation given the circumstances, but she thought he should have worried anyhow.

BINGO
I told her that. In my mind, she was fine. That's the truth. In the grand scheme of things, her situation was very low on the scale of tragedies and circumstances. In her mind, it wasn't. I'll keep that in mind in the future, but if I'm not handling it like she thought I should, then she should open her mouth and say something.
I'm not adding to my previous post on the thread but did start chuckling as I continued reading the subsequent posts and particularly those which said, "Well, you should have texted her or called her back", etc. as from a relative dinosaur's perspective, what DID people do before CELLPHONES!? My oh my! How on earth did anyone manage to function?
What you did when your car conked out was hope that somebody would come along who would play Good Samaritan and take you to the nearest 'phone. If you were on a throughway you either did likewise or else started walking towards emergency telephones which were set up every 1/4 mile or so (do they still exist?) or hope that a trucker with a CB radio would either pull over to help or alert the authorities that someone was in distress.
Just some rambling musings on how it used to be ...
