It's like watching a train wreck. Honestly, I feel a little sorry for her. But he DID tell her that he was going abroad for vacation. It's not his fault she didn't listen. I'll admit I can get a little jumpy after not hearing back from someone for several days... but this is way overboard.

Still, I can't imagine being completely off the grid like that for so long. Most hotels have business centers where you can access the Internet. It wouldn't have taken long to just find a cybercafe and fire off a quick email.

Btw, the Overly Attached Girlfriend is actually really cute when she's not burning into your soul with that stare.

Or naming your future children and going through your phone erasing all your female contacts. "You don't need to talk to your mother, I'm the only woman you need in your life."

I had a friend who had looked over her boyfriend's shoulder when he was using the computer in order to see what his email password was. She was really jealous of one or two of his female friends. If they ever emailed him, she'd confront him about it and ask the who, what, when, where, why, and how. She'd always concoct some work of fiction to explain how she knew without revealing that she had unauthorized access to his email.

Looking back, I think she committed a federal offense.

If I didn't hear from my girlfriend for a week or two, and it seemed as if she just dropped off the face of the earth seemingly with no explanation, then I would be worried. I would be going around trying to make sure she was alive and not kidnapped/murdered. My reaction wouldn't be to fire off progressively more angry emails and sleep with a friend to get back at her.

This woman was slightly unhinged from the start.

Holy... shit. How do you just not hear that your boyfriend was leaving the country?! That was so painful.

When I was in europe 3 or 4 years ago I was waiting for a response on a job offer and was checking my email regularly. It's pretty easy to do. Video was pretty funny though, reminded me of my gf.

Maybe I missed something, but would he not have had some way to e-mail her back at any point during his vacation?

For many people, myself included, a vacation like that would mean I don't need to check my email or answer my phone. I'm pretty sure the guy wanted to be off the grid for a while, and he warned his girlfriend ahead of time.

This. When I went to Rome on vacation I checked my email once in 10 days and that was just to let my parents know that everything had gone well. I don't know why she didn't pay attention to him saying he was leaving for Europe!

Hell, I don't even need to be on an epic trip; at least half the point of any of my vacations is to be off-grid. Of course, I do take my wife with me when I go on vacation, so it's not like she needs to do anything to find me.

I don't even have to be on an epic trip. I find I can go without internet access pretty easily as long as I'm otherwise entertained.

I have to admit, every time I see a group of people, obviously friends, sitting around a table at a restaurant, or hanging out together somewhere, and they've all got their phones or iPads or what-have-you out and are texting or whatever they're doing, I die a little inside. I would much rather be gathered around a campfire telling stories, or clustered around a table playing cards, or pretty much anything other than being electronically tethered to the grid at all waking moments. But I suppose it's a generational thing, and just one more sign that I'm gettin' older.

Reminds me of when I visited this really nice restaurant with a female friend of mine, the kind with candlelight and waiters in tuxes, and prices that make you wonder if the restaurant accidentally appended an extra zero to everything. There was a couple, really nicely dressed, sitting at a table near ours, both of them tapping away at their smartphones throughout dinner. I don't think they spoke to each other more than twice. Their eyes were even glued to their phones while they ate.

And then, as they had dessert, the guy pulled out a ring and proposed to the girl, she smiled and said yes, and they both went back to their phones, presumably to update their Facebook statuses to "engaged." Both my dinner companion and I agreed those two were made for each other.

Damn... I'm failing at my usual ability to laugh at the stupidity of others. I just feel sorry for her, she obviously has some serious self esteem issues.

When my friends and I go to resto we play Cell Phone Jenga. At the start of the meal we put our cellphone right in the middle of the table, one stacked upon the other neatly and leave it there during the entire supper. No calls being made. No calls received. No texting. Nothing. Once everyone gets there. We stack them. Then we enjoy our evening.

The first person to touch their cellphone before the end of supper pays everyone's dinner.

This has happened once and since then, never has been much of an issue.

I had an issue like this with a girl. I told her several times that with my internship and finals that my phone was going to be off for a few days. I deactivated my facebook and all that... three days later she had shown up at my place all fuming because I had ignored her calls and blocked her on facebook.

It didn't last much after that.

Next time don't tell her, text her, or she will not notice.
