sorry i have another stupid dilemma!! Just had a call from my fella, he has the day off today so he jumped on the train to go and pick some asthma pumps up for me, he bumped into a girl he went to school with but as he was walking with her down the High Street he walked past my nan (dads mum who i dont really talk to) and he didnt say hello to her...see below

Now, because he didnt say hello she is bound to presume that its because he was with another girl, so she is gonna jump on the phone to my dad and tell him, now im gonna get a call from my dad telling me that aaron is 'cheating on me' and its just gonna cause a fall out, he will get upset because he will think that Aaron is being sly and will want me to go and stay with him for a while, trust me he even offered to send my brother to Australia when he got engaged!! Aaron obviously guessed that this would all happen cos he called me straight after and explained then sounded all hurt when i had a go at him for not saying hello to her, if it was the other way round he would be peed at me if i didnt say hello to his nan no matter what the circumstances are, is it just me??? xx

Maybe be he felt uncomfortable saying hello to your nan as you two don't get on too well

Thats the thing though, its never bothered him before, we have never even actually had a blow out row, theres just things that have gone on underneath the surface if you get what i mean, he just causes these stupid rows sometimes, im not that annoyed just cant be bothered with it all right now if you get what i mean xxx

The fact that you already KNOW in advance what has happened should make things OK. Just tell your Dad that you know and it was all above board and not what it seemed....that your fella isn't hiding anything from you! He couldn't run back up the street to make a point of saying 'hello' but realised what he had done and phoned you straight away to tell you in the hope that you would explain when the time came.

could it have been then that if Aaron had said hello your nan would have read something into it because he was with another girl and your nan would have tied to cause trouble

oh no i dont think anything of it Dave, its just that i really know what they are like and the slightest bit of gossip will make her day, she has hurt me alot in the past with her gossip and i dont doubt that she will do it again, not only will be 'rude' but will be 'cheating' on me aswell, from something so small could end up into a big thing, its so stupid isn it! x

Julie, To be honest you are probably right, i wont blame him if everyone jumps to the wrong conclusion..she can twist alot! Elaine, Youve made it sound alot easier for me to explain, thank you hun. My dad does worry about us yes, when my big bro got engaged he begged him to either move into his caravan and dad would hide him or he would send him to Australia LOL xxx

Why not ring your nan and say Aaron's just called to ask you to apologise to her for not speaking etcetc so you get in first. Then she can make of it whatever she wants and you and he will have done the polite thing. Families eh?
