I don't understand.
How did her panicking that her cat may be dead make her a worse girlfriend?
Whether you care about animals or not, would you not be more than just a bit annoyed if something you'd been working on for years blew away and broke and can you not see how that could apply (emotions aside)?
The relationship sounds like it was broken before and if it took her being normal about the death of a pet to tell you that then I'd suggest you're a little autistic or plain ignorant.

Sorry for irking you
Och it didn't make her a worse girlfriend, it was a sort of confirmation, a culmination of things. We had already previously broken up/ repaired. I really do like cats, and you' re right, I appreciated the fact that she had spent a lot of energy and time on it, but in the overall scheme, I just was pretty shocked at the hysterics, and I'm ashamed to admit it.

You didn't irk me.
I just think you're a twat.

I don't really like cats but your ex definitely made the right decision choosing it over you.
No'ffence like.

I think you're a twat.
And not just because you misconstrued the story and launched into a witless personal attack. Cunt.

I didn't misconstrue it at all.
It was badly explained, and the reply to my reply is an edit after a few minutes.
Deciding to finish with someone because she was very upset her cat died makes no sense [unless there was a specific conversation about it, which was not mentioned here, and it was some kind of deceit of lie].

Haha, yeah.

I did find the apostrophe in "its" annoying.

( 4Q just lurking, Mon 4 Feb 2013, 19:31, closed)

No no no
It's alive and well.

The cat was never really a point of contention. I grew to like it a lot. But it was her attachment to it which eventually convinced me to give up the ghost, relationship-wise.

Sorry for the shoddy edit, phonecall distracted me. Actually, this thread distracted me from the phone call, trying to calm down a friend after their hectic day.

I thought it was clear enough.

Yes, I understood the story.
She thought her cat was dead and was distraught. You thought that was a problem for some reason and a good reason to leave her.
I questioned why you thought that being upset about a dead cat (she didn't know it wasn't at this point, remember) was worse than any other shit she put you through and why you'd not realised that an obviously doomed relationship was doomed until somebody had a normal reaction to a pet dying.
I was, perhaps, a little rude in my response but that's because the story came across to me as an autistic or slow-minded person suddenly realising they couldn't have a relationship with a person who responded normally to a situation.

Fair point, taken
Gosh I feel terrible now. Really. I mean, it was tough breaking up, and for a considerable time after. I wanted to try again but not really a good idea. We had a lot of good things, lots of things in sync. She's really a good person, but I'm really not cut out for that sort of thing. Thanks for the constructive criticism, taken on board.

Glad you saw sense at last...
Hope the autism is OK in future. ;-)

Thanks
I'm thinking of becoming a cat now.
(roysin, Mon 4 Feb 2013, 21:49, closed)

I think cats are autistic.
They don't understand crying over dead cats either.

Maybe not
You really made me think. I understand now.
