The price of progress indeed… I have a question mate…what do you do when you tell your girlfriend to not watch the film because you want to watch it together but then she goes off and watches it anyways and then has the nerve to tell you “but you told me it’s okay.”?
Uh oh… I am in that very place at this very moment … still waiting to hear where I’m supposed to meet him for lunch … it’s half past 2 in the afternoon already…
Ahh, Jeroen. You nailed it again! I’m so glad there’s now this comic I can show friends and be like “See?!?! Someone ELSE out there obsessively checks their e-mail TOO!”
Heheh, the compulsive e-mail checking. How familiar it all sounds ! I just wonder : is all of this based on personal experience only or are you actually asking all your friends for their life stories ?
@Amadeus, well, iffy one that. Obviously it all depends on whether you want to stay together with her or not and how important this was to you.
Anyways, I’ll be making some presumptions in the below, but it may give you some food for thought on how to deal with it.
Considering that she watched the movie already, well, you can’t change the past, getting angry about it will not undo what is done, so it will be a waste of energy to get angry and you may break more than you want to break.
Do be honest with her and tell her that you are disappointed because you were looking forward to watching it together with her.
Depending on how strongly you feel about it, do(n’t) challenge her on the ‘you said it was ok’. My personal approach would be more like ‘I’m sorry that you thought it was ok for you to watch it on your own. I probably didn’t make myself clear enough, but I really wanted to watch this together with you’.
And take it as a lesson for the future: if you really want to watch a movie together, bring it with you only when you will have a chance to watch it together there and then and don’t leave it lying around at her place.
That’s my two pennies. Do with it what you please and I hope things will work out for you in the way you want them to work out.
Ah yes, I check my mail at least 3 times a day, even though for the past 8 months I’m always disappointed with the mail that I do receive(I really have no need for penis enlarging drugs and If I was to “slim down for summer” I’d disappear entirely, I’m already slim enough).
Awww, I really miss the daily rambling, dream sharing and general ridiculousness.

That big 0 is just taunting us!
@Amadeus: Well I would go on the internet and ask sound relationship advise of someone who obviously knows how to screw everything up. Or wait…
Anyone want to help our friend out here? Ladies?

@Jeroen, ok, ok, I feel your nudging…

I get lots of mail.
From Facebook. Promotional crap.
Rarely from ‘someone,’ though.
@ e-Mino, ah, that’s a well-kept secret
Oh, the mysteries of Kartoen.be!

getting spam is almost worse than no mail at all.
but
getting real mail, though (as in the post)- well, sometimes, that is my favorite part of birthdays, anniversaries, etc
