That's Your Girlfriend: Girl Who Sends All The Emails To Boyfriend While He's Traveling

In 2007, you went on a backpacking trip through Europe for two weeks (you remember. 2007? JEAN LUC?!). You told your girlfriend about it numerous times, and called her to tell her goodbye before you left. But somehow, she didn't realize you were gone. And so she began sending you emails, and calling your cell phone, which was turned off. Needless to say, things went downhill from there rather quickly. Her emails got more and more frantic and accusatory. Eventually they turned from pleading and sad and confused to angry and vengeful and mean. She fucked some dude? Yikes. Relationships are hard! And then you got back and read all the emails and made a video about it.

Of course, the fact that you somehow managed to not really convey to your girlfriend that you were going away for two weeks? And you didn't bother to get in touch with her from Europe? And you took all of her emails, which are obviously crazy, but are also deeply personal and indicate that she cared a lot about you even if she maybe didn't know the best way to go about showing and/or dealing with it, and you made those emails public? And you chose the music for this video? All of which kind of also makes you your boyfriend.

The only reason he didn't post her voicemails is because he couldn't fake her voice as well as he faked those e-mails.

I like this theory! If several mentions of "I'm going to europe" passed untrammeled from one ear through to the other, then how many mewled and stuttered "we need to break up, for real this time!"s did it take for this guy to get from under her thumb? I'm guessing a long series that ran from 2007 to July 2009, punctuated by a lot of crying, murder fantasies, and emotional abuse. I'm sorry that was your girlfriend for so long, guy. I'm glad you finally asked your dad what to do and changed those locks. Next time, and I can't believe I'm giving you this advice, What Would Tucker Do?

Maybe he didn't check his emails because he was in Europe, and there's cooler shit to do with your time than hang out in internet cafes. It was only two weeks. If he had checked his email, then he'd be a fucking loser.

Way to go, JD. Although, half of me thinks this is fake, and half of me thinks he's going to be missing out on some incredible sex.

If you went to Europe for two months without telling me you wouldn't be commenting on videogum daily, I'm going to be so pissed! I've become attached to so many other avatars since you've not been around! Call me ASAP we need to talk fuck fceeeeeeee!

But seriously, I've missed seeing David's little toothless trap in the comments lately. (As viral/exploited as that vid got, the kid's cuteness factor kept it in my "still adorable" vault). I have a tendency to associate the commenter with avatar and transfer my feelings accordingly, so you've always been a favorite. -- I explain all this because you should ignore all those drunken 4am comments I directed at you and how I said I e-slept with An American Patriot in spite because you weren't replying to any of my comments....we've all made mistakes!*

1. Careful when you date passionate people, because passion swings both ways. Sometimes they'll love, but other times they'll hate you. And when they hate you... boy do they hate you.
2. When you go to Europe for 2 weeks, leave your fucking phone on and think of a cool soundtrack for the Youtube slideshow that owns your dumb ass airhead ex girlfriend you post when you get back and realize she's a whore.

Neither of the two lessons I learned were correct. Don't date passionate people? Yep, better switch to blow-up dolls and mannequins. Also, there's probably a discussion in there about how some girls use sex as emotional currency because of their fear of being alone.

Hey, if you could get a quote on the part where he says "Don't date passionate people", that would be great. Because he never says that. Anyway, the music is from "Snatch", so I didn't mind it. But it reads like a fake, and the blog name makes me think he's a Tucker Max wannabe.

How do you not realize your boyfriend is leaving for a 2 week vacation? There are preparations, packing, last minutes trips to rite aid to get the things you forgot. He probably booked everything a couple of weeks in advance, spent hours on priceline looking for a good deal. He most likely talked about it a lot because he was probably excited. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU WOULD MISS THIS! I'm really hung up about this.

Let me get this straight. I broke up with my girlfriend, who is a visibly loving young lady, if not insecure as many adolescent females- let's face it- are known to be, after failing to make it known to her that I would be in a different hemisphere for an extended period, and failing to realize my failure in doing so (Double Epic Double Fail). Then I blame her and display her emails for all to see in an online slideshow with mocking commentary, despite the fact that she obviously cares to some considerable extent for me, enough to write me numerous emails and send me numerous phone messages which to her credit were properly-typed when she hadn't been apparently intoxicated and emotional and revenge-fucking someone, which I deserve. I do this, it appears, because she told me she doesn't like the same movies as I do. Do I really also have a blog called Man Stories? I hate my self. If i was my own boyfriend, in this case, I would kill myself and ignore the metaphysical consequences.

Sometimes Gabe reads the internet as a human being, and not as a hateful zombie eyeball that just wants to eat other people's painz (which is the preferred method of approaching the medium, let's be clear) - and sometimes I agree with that way of looking at the internet!

I have no idea if this is one of those times.
