Why don't you call me anymore? We used to be so close.

I heard a woman say this to the person she was talking to on the phone at work this morning. I then heard her saying but that's no excuse... I'm busy too but I make time for my friends... well if you were having problems, why didn't you come to me... well take my house and office number just in case you can't get hold of me on the mobile... you can ring me anytime, my phone's never off... I could come with you if you like, I'm free every evening and all weekend... It's not my fault I miss you... I didn't mean to sound needy, sorry... OK then, don't be a stranger. Bye, bye.

I think it would have been far kinder if the person on the other end of the phone said to Chrissie "I DON'T ENJOY TALKING TO YOU ANYMORE - THAT'S WHY I STOPPED CALLING AND FURTHER MORE, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CALLING ME." But that kind of answer is harsh enough to leave a person feeling wronged and bitter isn't it; so most people prefer to go around the houses making excuses when the truth is the truth is the truth.

Don't you women get it? Some of us guys would rather cut off our right arm than say to a woman I don't want to talk to you anymore because you bore me to death, I have better options, you're too clingy and please delete my phone number. It doesn't sound easy to duck and dive, but that's just what we men do. I'd do anything than have a woman call be a bastard. Even if my behaviour resembles that of a bastard.
