Men spill the beans on their biggest relationship boo-boos, and how they made a comeback.
“My ex rang for a chat and her name showed up on my phone. My girlfriend threw a fit and refused to speak to me for days. To clear things up, I called my ex in front of her. With the phone on speaker mode, I told my ex never to call me again, not even for a casual conversation. It was hard making that call, but my girlfriend would not have forgiven me otherwise.” – Brian*, 38, accountant
“I organised an out-of-town party weekend with the guys, completely forgetting that my girlfriend’s birthday would fall on one of the travel dates. When Lydia* found out, she was super upset. I made it up to her by treating her to a fancy dinner the night I arrived home and whisking her off to Phuket the following weekend.” – Adam*, 34, counsellor.
“I told my girlfriend that she reminded me of her stepmother. Big mistake, because she doesn’t get along with the old lady. She looked at me like she wanted to kill me. Thinking fast, I told her that I meant it in a good way, and listed all her stepmum’s positive qualities – she’s intelligent, articulate, well groomed, and sociable. That seemed to suffice.” – Bernard Wong, 29, self-employed.
