    The "love story" of JD & Em

    One sided e-mail correspondence between JD and his girlfriend, Em

    Please note: When boyfriend tells you that he's going backpacking around Europe for 2 weeks, please pay attention to him. Also, if you can't get a hold of him, call his mom first, not his friends, and definitely don't send stupid e-mails.

    That's hilarious.
    What a clueless twit.
    Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.

      Wow.

      I just love that last emial from her, starting with "If you love me, don't..."

      Last I checked, that's code for "I did something really stupid and I want to blame it on you if things get worse". Looks like the chain has yet to break >_>

            Definitely a funny story, but he seriously didn't call her once? Not once? Didn't check his email at all? I find that hard to believe...

            My boyfriend went to Europe for 2 weeks a few years ago and he called and emailed me every chance he could even though he didn't bring his computer or a cell. I'd have been a wreck if he didn't at least call me to let me know he landed safely and was settled in at his hotel! And it didn't help that he had been flying from Greece to Edinburgh during the G8 Summit with a connecting flight in London, right when the bombings were happening, so obviously I heard from him a few times that day.

              He claims it was because of the ridiculous roaming charges he would have had to pay in Europe, so he never even had his cellphone turned on.

              I thought it was odd that he didn't check in at all, even with his family.
              There are internet cafes, I'm sure, where he could pay per use to check emails.
              I guess, though, if the idea is to rough it across Europe by backpack, that means forgetting about everything.

                Honestly, I don't find it that odd. It's what I would do. I hate checking in with people, and I hate phones, even on the best of days. If I was backpacking through Europe for two weeks, no-one back home would hear from me the entire time.

                  I guess I'm different, because I would be thinking about my family back home worrying about me. I would feel that it would the courteous thing to do to check in occasionally and let them know I was OK.

                    All my friends up here think it's odd that I call home every day, but I know my folks, Mom especially, worry. 5 minutes a day isn't that much to give up to let her have some peace of mind.

                      Exactly. My mom's the same way. And I'm the same way too. Boyfriend knows my issues and calls me after any long trip, driving or flying. I'd be crying and freaking out if I didn't hear from him within an hour or two of his expected arrival time and would be just utterly inconsolable if I hadn't heard from him in 24 hours.

                      Now if I knew he was cut off from all technology, I'd be a little more reasonable, but still very worried and hopeful that he'd be able to find a phone or computer at some point during his trip.

                        I'm not defending Em's crazy obsessive e-mails or her refusal to listen when she was told he was going to Europe....but yes, it is a bit odd that he made no attempt to call anyone.

                        Every time my boyfriend goes out of town for something, I ask him to please call me. No, it isn't "checking in with the boss", it's letting me know that he made it alright, no one's gotten arrested, etc etc. And every time he leaves, he makes zero attempt to get a hold of me. I will admit to calling him many, many times and leaving him nasty messages or texts....then he'll call me back after he gets them and says how unnecessary that is, it's NO BIG DEAL, he's ok, why am I so upset that he didn't call?

                        He just doesn't get it. Don't worry, one of these weekends I am going to disappear with my girlfriends and I will absolutely refuse to call him or return any of his calls until I absolutely feel like calling him, then I'll tell him that it's no big deal.

                          I was in Euro-land for 2 weeks a few yrs ago...I only checked in online once at the hostel in Amsterdam, other than that...I left everything behind

                            Hmm, this one smells strangely of an Urban legend. Just something about it is not sitting right with me to believe it as true.

                              It's hilarious, but I have a feeling there's something missing here.

                              I sent it off to the folks at Snopes.com, so maybe they will be able to sort it all out.
