Why do people feel compelled to call me at the wee morning hours? The night before last, my ex-wife called me at 2:30 a.m. I didn’t answer and my girlfriend was asking why I hadn’t answered the phone. I simply told her I had been through it before. By that I mean, she used to call me early in the mornings while she was drunk and either beg for me back or say she was going to kill herself. I didn’t want to deal with it. But, there was a voicemail and she didn’t talk. It only lasted about 10 seconds and it just sounded like she was driving.
Then this morning, I received another phone call from a girl that I am “kinda” friends with. Years ago she went out with a good friend of mine. They had a kid together. I have no idea why she called me. It was 3:37 a.m. when she called. It kind of sounded like she was on something. So I asked if she was okay and she said she was. That was basically it. I hung up.
Now here is what sucks about the whole thing. My girlfriend spent the night last night as well. So I had to explain to my girlfriend “why” some other girl was calling me and “why” she was calling me so early in the morning. It made me feel very uncomfortable.
I have absolutely nothing to hide from my girlfriend. But I also know how this must have looked. I hope she understands that I would never ever do anything behind her back.
