So as most of you know, Carri and I are dating. We have been for quite a long time now.
Tonight I've been pretty stressed out. 500 word essay over the criticism of women's fashion in politics mixed with a bad night of insomnia and lack of sleep. Not a pleasant mix.
Carri and I debate sometimes. It's almost always for sport instead of just anger and we listen to each others opinions and we both as far as I know use the fresh perspective and grow as people.
Somehow tonight we got on the topic of the over sexualization of female characters in video games. I then pointed out how oversexualized female characters have recently been on a decline and that in a game she's recently been fanaticizing over that the ONLY male character is over sexualized.
The conversation then digressed in to whether or not the female characters are well developed. Her case being that every outcome for them ends with them being under the control of a male antagonist. I inquired about a specific character who I knew well enough to feel that they weren't being controlled and her theory was that even though the male antagonist wasn't telling her what to do, that the fact that he handicapped her from completing her life goal was another form of control.
I knew the whole time that my understanding of the subject wasn't nearly enough to defend myself against her. I tried to look at things logically from my perspective and every time I did, my opinion was invalidated by something else she pulled out that I had never heard of.
I don't know why I acted the way I did. At the end she even tried to help me acknowledge that I didn't know what I was talking about. I threw it right back in her face. The last thing I said was,
exactly. So excuse me for being so ignorant under your vastly superior understanding of every aspect of that game. All I can talk about is the infinitely small and feeble grasp of the depth and complexion of these characters and my personal outlook on the situations at hand.
After I said that she said goodnight and closed communication. Between the Essay I was working on, the stress, and the lack of sleep I could easily come up with an excuse for my behavior but the fact is that I have nothing to blame but myself.
Okay GTQ, how bad have I f---ed up? -
I have a solution... It's right at the tip of my mind...

"It's right at the tip of MY MIND"

No AP, I'm not giving her the D.
But thank you for letting me over-analyze something and laugh about it. -
Over-analyze what?
-
I think you f---ed up only a little bit. Not that bad, but you did. I get your side of how stressed you are about this because I probably would have done that myself.
-
Nevermind. You're too young, kid.

lol,tip of my mind XD

/reads bobs post over and over and over again to find the context-clues

I'd say talk to her when you see her again. Explain to her what you told us and that you weren't meaning to hurt her, that you misspoke. The comment was pretty hurtful, but I'm sure if you both communicate what happened and apologize for it things will work out. I'm sorry to hear about the trouble, bro.

If you have to ask, then you don't need to know.
-
Thanks Ana. She's back and I showed her this thread. We're talking it out.
-
The best thing I would do is just apologize and like explain this to her.Hope it works out.
-
Good, it's always good to talk out the problems instead of letting them be and then festering later.
-
We've never let any issue between us last for more than 48 hours without being totally talked about and worked through until it's non-existent. xD

You guys are the model example for what I want my relationship to be like
