She accidentally made me forget why we were fighting....
Back in October during some random late night conversation, I told my girlfriend that I like when people play with my hair when I’m stressed. It wasn’t even some deep moment, I just said it casually and she replied with “noted” like she was saving it somewhere 😭
Fast forward to yesterday.
We were arguing properly for the first time in a while. Not cute fake fighting. Actual irritation. Dry replies. That awkward tension where both people are talking normally but you can tell nobody’s really okay.
The fight itself was dumb honestly. I told her I’d call her after reaching home from college and then accidentally slept for like 4 hours. When I woke up my phone looked like a missing person investigation.
So now we’re sitting outside campus and she’s giving me a lecture in the calmest tone possible which somehow feels worse than shouting.
She goes: “You know what your problem is? ” And while saying that she randomly fixed my hair because the wind messed it up, then scratched the back of my head for like two seconds.
Then continued arguing like nothing happened.
BRO, I swear my entire thought process disappeared instantly.
Like one second I was ready to defend myself and the next I was just sitting there relaxed for no reasonnnnnn 😭
And the worst part is she noticed IMMEDIATELY.
She literally stopped talking, looked at me for a second and went , See? This is why you never survive arguments with me. I asked “what does that even mean?”
She said: “You get distracted too easily.”
I was trying so hard not to laugh😭 because she was completely right.
Then I tried acting serious again and said “Can we focus on the actual issue?”
And she goes: “No because now you look too calm.”
WHO FIGHTS LIKE THIS 😭
After that the argument kinda died on its own. We just sat there quietly for a bit.
Then she leaned on my shoulder and said:
“Just text me next time so I know you’re alive, idiot.”
And suddenly I realized she wasn’t really angry about the missed call. She was angry because she actually cares.
Anyway yeah. I think the scariest people to date are the ones who remember tiny random things you said months ago because one day they’ll use it against you emotionally.
