I think she's still sulking.
I'll give her time. More time. I'm afraid as much as I love her to bits, she was rather spoilt in her upbringing, so has tendancies to sulk if she doesn't get her own way.
Given that she'd already made so many excuses trying to put me off coming, I don't know what the big deal was with me being ill!?
Actually, I have a hunch it's nothing to do with the party. It's her boyfriend of 8 years still being less committed a boyfriend of 6 months! Personally, I think he's lousy! He'll often go an entire week without even bothering to call her, despite living in the same city, and when out in company, he'll often say something insulting to her and she'll end up in tears!
Mr Insensitive and Miss Over-sensitive aren't exactly an ideal combination!
He earns alot of money, but when it comes to presents, rather than putting thought and effort into it, he'll just nip into a jewelry shop an hour before meeting her, buy the first (expensive) thing he sees in the window, quickly buys a card (which he fills out in the toilets of the pub!), then hands them over to her. Unwrapped of course.
Sadly, she is dazzled by expensive things, so all is forgiven and forgiven...
I despair sometimes.
Today I ended up in the coffee room cupboard with MBF!! We had a lovely conversation about car maintenance, and I didn't go bright red for once. I shall try and time my coffee breaks more skillfully in future
