Rough Night

So on Saturday Emily and I got into a pretty decent argument, one that could have been totally avoided if we had just told each other what was on our minds in the first place. Right from the start of the day something felt wrong, Emily was picking at me for every little thing I did wrong, things that normally would never bother her. So I didn't pay too much attention to these things at the time because I thought there was no reason for Emily to be angry with me. For most of the day I was being ignored and only talked to if it was to tell me to quit being annoying. I was being a shit disturber only because I thought it was ridiculous that we were bickering over nothing at this point, I thought it was funny really.

The thing that I didn't know was that Emily was in a bit of an edgy mood for a reason that had nothing to do with me. So instead of doing the right thing and asking her what was up, I ignored her for the rest of the day because it was bothering me that we were bickering over nothing. My friends came over later on and we were having a few drinks before going out for the night. I had asked Emily a few times if she was going to come out with us or not but the answer was always 'I don't know.' So when the time came to leave, Emily decided she was going to come. I dropped my friends off first and then drove to Emily's house because she had to pick up a change of shoes. We started bickering at each other even before we got to her house and Emily just said to me she wanted to come out and have a fun night. My patience had gotten really low at this point because Emily was ignoring me all day but now wanted to come out with me to have a fun night. I told her to go ahead and come hang out at the party but I wasn't going to be all warm and cuddly now that we were with a bunch of people and pretend she wasn't ignoring me all day. This sparked the arguing in her driveway which led to me saying I wanted to just hang out with my friends tonight without her. After some yelling towards each other I left to the party without Emily.

I didn't even really drink at the party when I got there, I just relaxed and talked with friends. It is kind of hard to enjoy a night out right after getting in a fight with your girlfriend. I came home later that night and pretty much fell asleep right away. A friend stayed over for the night and we hung out for most of the next day. We just spent the day playing video games, watching T.V. and making food. Emily had wanted me to drop off a bunch of her shower stuff and some clothes that she wanted, which I said I was going to bring but it wasn't until late that my friend left. Emily also wanted to take a walk and talk about the night before but I didn't know this so I was in no rush to drive to her house to drop off some of her stuff.

When I did eventually come to her house that night, we talked about what happened a little bit and she gave me a little letter she wrote the night before. It's a great way to tell someone your feelings at the time and without forgetting anything. Emily apologized to me which I thought wasn't even necessary, it was me who owed the apology. Everything is fine now, but this just goes to show everyone, communication is a big deal. If Emily had told me that something was bothering her that day, or if I had not tried to be so annoying before and sat down and talked with her, this would never have happened.
