During the summer of 2007, I had the opportunity to backpack around
Europe for 2 weeks. I talked about it often before I left. My girlfriend
however, although great in many respects, was not the world's greatest
listener. I left on Friday June 1st. despite even calling her to say
goodbye the night before, she never realized I left. When I arrived home
2 weeks later, I had several emails from her, waiting in my inbox....
Friday, June 1st 11:31am
Subject; maddy Babe!
smooch Hey doll, me and the girls are gonna hit up the maddy tonight.
I'll call you in a bit, you and the boys should come out too. love, em
Friday June 1st 4:40pm
Subject: Come out come out, hehe
Hey hun, me again. Tried calling your cell a few times today but it kept
going right to voicemail. You're not screening me are you?;) (Ed Note:
my cell phone was off for the entire trip so that I wouldn't get insane
roaming charges in europe.)
Saturday June 2nd
subject: missed you! (frowny face)
JDddddd... I missed you last night! There were these two super creepy
guys who kept trying to talk to us all night. I let the one guy buy me a
drink and as soon as he handed it to me I told him he reminds me of my
boyfriend, ha ha ha. I tried your cell again but again no answer, having
cell problems dear? Anyway, Marla and me are going out for brunch to try
and get over our hangovers... tonight, you and me, dinner at your place.
Call me today.
Sunday June 3rd
Subject: Uh...hello...?
JD, wtf. Why are you not responding to my ecalls and emails? Where are
you?! I waited all night for you to get in touch with me. I'm not happy
here babe... call me ASAP!!!
Sunday June 3rd
no subject. (Email was empty)
Tuesday June 5th
Subject: WTF
What the fuck is going on?! Why are you avoiding me? You're not
answering your cell, you won't return my texts.... JD wtf?! I know
you're around! Your friend jeremy is such a bullshitter. When he said he
hadn't seen you all weekend I could hear you talking in the background!
I thought you were different fuck nut! (Ed. Apparently she called one of
my friends to find out where I was on the weekend. I have no idea what
she's talking about here though.) Last chance... call me tonight with
the best excuse of your life or I walk asshole.
Tuesday June 5th
Subject: Read this asshole!
I've tried call you, I've tried calling your friends, your mom. What the
fuck did I do? Ws it just time? Time to dump me? You could at least tell
it to my face asshole. We're through... don't call me, don't text me,
don't bother now. You'll never know what you lost, I was the one, and
now I feel sorry for you because you'll never have that again. I feel so
sorry for you, ha ha ha. (ed: she left messages at my mom's demanding I
call her back. My mom would've called her to tell her I was in Europe
except she didn't leave her number and my mom doesn't have it.) (Ed: I
just got dumped while I was on a different continent than my
girlfriend... I've been in Europe only 5 days... and the emails are just
beginning.
Friday June 8th
:no subject
I hate you.
Sunday june 10th
subject: fuuuuuuck U
hey fuck fcee, remmembe r that friend of mine that I was you were
jealous of who I said that nuffin ever will happen with well I was
crying with him about you and he told me how amazing I was, how he
always though so and so I fucked him to show you I'm right! Now who's
the stuipd one? I can't get any guy I want and whatr are you doing just
sitting at home crying over how you lost me? Well don't cry for me
because you've already lost me asswhole! Ha ha ha ha ha (ed I would say
I've been cheated on... but technically I'm single at this point)
Tuesday June 12th
Subject: Read ASAP
JD, Call me, we need to talk
Tuesday June 12
Subject: Just listen....
ok fine, you don't want to call me then just listen. I'm mad and hurt
right now. I really felt something between us and now you've gone and
thrown it all away and I have no idea why. JD, we were amazing together
weren't we? We always had fun, and I tried to be so easy going and happy
with you. We were the couple that could spend an evening out with our
friends or laze about on the couch and either way end it all in
fantastic sex and confessions of love. I know that something has
happened to change all that, but you have to admit that you still feel
something for me. To deny that is to deny your very soul. I know you'll
call me tonight. We have a lot to discuss. A lot of bad nd good. It may
not change things and we may still be broken up, but you at least owe me
a conversation. A chance. Em
(ed: I've been in Europe for 12 days. I am coming home on Saturday. On
this day I go shopping in Rome and get a necklace for Em and write a
postcard to my grandparents.)
Thursday June 14th
Subject: I tried...
I tried to reach out to you JD, I really did. But I take back all those
nice things I said. I'm glad we're broken up. You're boring as shit to
be with. I pretended so many times to like the stupid shows you like, to
watch the stupid movies you like, to enjoy spending time with your
asinine friends. I've moved on. I realize that you are not the right
person for me in any way whatsoever. You bring out the worst traits in
me and I'm a million times better without you. I'm bringing by a bunch
of your stuff to you mom's house. So long JD, I'd like to say it was fun
but it really wasn't. Believe me when I say that I never want to hear
from you again. Em
Thursday June 14th
subject: OPEN FIRST!!! DO NOT READY ANY OTHER EMAILS!!!
If you love me, you will delete every email I've sent you over the past
week without reading it. (ed: When she went by my mom's house to drop
off my stuff, she bumped into my mom... my mom told her I was in Europe
until Saturday...) JD please I am begging you that when you get back you
do not read any email but this one. We've all made mistakes while you've
been away. I can explain it all to you, call me ASAP. I love you with
all my heart and soul! Em
(Ed: I read the emails... Em and I are no longer together. I learned two
very important lessons from this whole ordeal. 1. Careful when you date
passionate people, because passion swings both ways. Sometimes they'll
love you, but other times they'll hate you. And when they hate you...boy
do they hate you. 2. When you go to Europe for 2 weeks, leave your
fucking phone on.)

I wish I could say the same. Dated one such person. (I also have a good friend,
a guy, who falls into the same category.) These two folks talk
incessantly--about themselves, naturally--and when their mouths finally close,
it seems that their ears turn off as well. The sad result is that they almost
never *hear* what others say.
