Miss communication... Wouldnt mind an opinion on it

[Manlad]

Hey, so Ill make this short. I was talking to my SO last night and I teased her just before I was going to sleep. I said something like "imma sleepz, not that you care or nething". Lol. Obviously not like that and typed more seriously apparently. She took what I said like I actually meant she didnt care. So it became a "I didnt mean it like that" and she was all hurt and sad. She said she didnt want to talk on skype and just wanted to lay on her bed. I called her but she didnt pick up. I sent her a hand full of messages today, but she hasn't replied. Its been the entire day and I havent heard back from her. Any advice on this? Im trying to give her space, but I end up just sending her another message to check on her. She said "dont worry about it, its ok." last night... thats not enough though. I need to talk to her.

Its driving me mad, please say something calming. Thanks. xD

I'm not sure I get why people kid around in a way that can be taken wrongly/sarcastically. I try to make my sarcasm online as obvious as possible, but if I use it anywhere, it's typically over the phone/in person when he's able to hear my tone, simply because it's so easily miscommunicated.

My guess would be she needs some time to process through it. Sometimes people take a day to calm down. Back off, you've sent your messages, so let her come to you when she decides to. *shrugs* And I would maybe refrain from making comments like that one in the future. Most of the time, especially through text, they aren't communicated well, the joke is easily missed, and sometimes they're just plain hurtful or cause issues where there needn't be.

Yeah, I usually dont kid around like that. I didnt really think about what I was saying. But thanks for pointing that out, I didnt realize how easily it could be misread. I'll just try and back off until she messages me, like you said. Its just so hard when you are use to talking to them throughout the day. Just not knowing how she actually feels right now is killing me.

Thanks for the reply.

There were many times when we were LD that I put on a brave face even if I was crumbling inside. It's possible she took it the wrong way simply because she was not in three frame of mind to joke around that night. Let her know you care and are worried and let her mood settle and I'm sure she will be fine.

Thanks. I let her know I care and was worried yesterday. It just sucks right now. Hopefully she settles soon. Its been over a day and its killing me. xP
