hrm. irrational? maybe. unusual? no, that's standard girl behavior. i think you're completely within your bounds. girls pick up on the tiniest hint of something in a guy's voice and it's so hard to know whether the hint was in their voice because they really feel that way or if the hint was in their voice because they were watching TV while talking on the phone to you. y'know, so hard to tell. i think he should be willing to take a few extra steps to make sure you don't feel hurt. you're a good girlfriend, you deserve it!
