Analyze My Fight, Please.

[carolynthesex]

I had a fight with Robert, and I need to know who is at fault. Please don't allow for friendship bias or anything of that nature to sway your opinion, if I was wrong, tell me so. The conversation started with Robert showing me a picture of the hotel he booked for prom weekend, and it went as follows

it seems that robert has been frustrated with you for whatever reason since Oct 31.
and now he seems to be very quick to assume the worst of how you feel about the room.
now, the repeated phrase of "well at this point it has to be, now doesn't it?" does seem a little sarcastic about the room. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, but i can understand how it could be misinterpreted.

My advice: sit down with him (face to face) and straighten out the kinks in your relationship, specifically why he feels you have pushed him since the 31st
it is imperative that you do this BEFORE prom, otherwise it will be a very tense, unpleasant experience for you both and your entire table.

thankyou ladies and gentlemen, good night

he's a fucking woman and totally missed the fact that you booked this 6 days before the weekend and there really is no other response to it other than "it'll do" (well depending on your attitude towards life that is)

karen youre slipping

That is a pretty ridiculous fight.
I agree that the comment "it'll do" can be interpreted as sarcastic and perhaps mean-ly so, but then you clarified yourself by saying;
Lynnie251: well it will have to do, it's been booked and we'll be there in 6 days, but I dont have a problem with it
Lynnie251: the place is fine
That clarified the meaning of your statement completely, and then your friend Robert took it entirely too far. It's just a hotel room, and if he cannot take your word choice than he is barking up the wrong tree.
I also don't understand how you were calling him an idiot.
Perhaps you should sit down and have a talk with him.

Oh and I miss you a lot Carolyn, and I wish you the best of luck with your fight.

The Lovely and Incredible,

Although I do have a bias towards you, Carolyn, and I think (out of context) your are right, I completely sympathize with Robert. He said explicitly that he felt something boiling beneath the surface for a long time. While you may not have experienced that feeling, he did and it was very easy for a conversation online to be "the backbreaker"(<- i like that part the best). Because I know you, the fight makes it seem like you both have an extremely hard time communicating, but so does everyone online. He couldn't possibly have known what intonnation you were using, what face you were making or especially what you were thinking at the time. You have to realize that coming from someone who has felt the water boiling for 7 months would have taken your comment differently than you may have meant it. But in reading a second time, I think that it seems more possible you did mean it sarcastically. (i don't mean to offend you, but you asked for honesty) If Robert has been feeling tense for so long there has to be a reason and the only one I can

listen, i really know he's an idiot, and you're an idiot, if you don't realize you're dating a baby and that's wrong and that he's a total idiot
