Okay, I'll talk to you later...

There is something that I dont understand about women. Well, there is a lot I dont understand about women. I don't pretend I know anything at all about them really. But something continues to happen between my girlfriend and I that drives me nuts. We will be talking to each other on the phone, and suddenly she will say, "Okay, I'll talk to you later." totally out of the blue. My first response is always, "What? You're done talking to me?"....Wait, let me clarify this situation a bit further before I go on, so I don't come off as a complete A-hole. First, we are both talking on cell phones. Usually she is in her car driving somewhere and on the headset deal. I could be anywhere, home, car, office, outside, literally anywhere. At least once during these conversations there will be the typical cell phone exchange of, "Hello? Can you hear me now?" by either one or both of us. And every conversation began by her asking if I was busy, and me saying no. If I am in the middle of something, I will tell her so and we will talk later.... Okay, now that I have thrown these little variables into the mix I'll continue.... On the surface this isnt a big deal. Maybe she is just finished telling me what she wanted to tell me. That's totally fine with me. But that's not it. I was able to get out of her once, that its because she thinks I'm not listening to her. (Heres where I start going nuts.) If you think that I am not listening to you, tell me you think Im not listening to you! Dont just say, "Okay, I'll see you later" and get upset. What the hell is that!! Chances are (and have always been so) that either 1) the cell phone has been cutting out and I havent said anything, because it hasnt been consistent enough to make a big deal out of it. or 2) while your driving the mic on the headset is swinging around because your changing lanes or something and I can't hear everything your saying or 3) you are talking about something that I dont understand and I'm doing my best to hear everything you are saying so I can retort, but Im usually a sentance or two behind in understanding everything.

I am very upfront and honest with my girlfriend. I dont tell her one thing and mean another. I tell her when I am upset. I tell her when I am busy and cant talk and I tell her when Im not busy and can talk. All I am asking for is for her to get a little clarification and find out if what she is feeling is real or not. Dont assume something and get your feelings hurt because of it.

I will never understand it....
