Let us all take a brief moment to appreciate the utterly stupid state of worry one can go into when one’s significant other suddenly changes some random pattern of behavior.
Take today, for instance. I got up and went about my day as usual. Work. Class. And then I decided to see when Mr. Mysterious ( I’m calling him that now since everyone else gets to call their “others” some cute name. Ben what does newf mean?) is working. So I text him.
“Are you working today?”
I then continue about my day. Lunch with friend. Oil change in car. Buy cats new scratchy thingy so they will leave my couch the fuck alone. Nothing. So I text again to tell him I am heading home ( we live thirty minutes apart ) and to have a good evening. I drive home. I am fine up until this point when various Crazy Person Scenarios began to enter my head. I have listed them from Reasonable to Lock Her Up She’s Nuts and Has Lost All Grip With Reality and back to Reasonable.
Scenario One: He’s severely hungover and has been sleeping all day.
Scenario Two: He’s been in some sort of accident and can’t answer because of the body cast.
Scenario Three: His ex girlfriend showed up out of nowhere and now he is spending the whole day with her and not you.
Scenario Four: He was abducted by Aliens who took his phone to study our lame methods of communication.
Scenario Five: No seriously he’s probably sleeping.
So I text him again.
“I’m only slightly worried you are dead in a ditch somewhere. Give me a call to let me know you are alright when you get a chance”
Nothing. I call. Nothing. I wait. I call again. Nothing. I contemplate taking some sleeping pills just so I won’t have to think about it anymore. Finally he texts me back.
” Baby. I was sleeping. I felt like shit. Sorry for making you worry =(“
Okay fine. I was right the first and fifth times. I would like to add that I never once hyperventilated or cried which just goes to show that I am growing as a person. Either that or taking St. John’s Wort for “Mood Support” really does work. Does anyone else do this? Please say I’m not the only one.
