I have a sort-of girlfriend; we have been together many years, but I think it's clear to both of us that we won't be together much longer. We still live together as roommates.
Today she received a gift basket from a friend that lives back east. This friend she grew up with, and though they have little contact anymore, they remember each other at Christmas. This gift basket had high quality fruit in it, and since I am a vegetarian, fruit is an indulgence for me, especially stuff like this. I just tore into the fruit basket and got at the fruit--I didn't stop to think about maybe her wanting to open the basket herself when she gets home from work---I just wanted that fruit. It occurred to me that maybe she would be mad, but at that point, the gift basket was in shreds, although there's lots left from it, of course.
I'm halfway considering hiding it and saying one never showed up. Am I in big trouble? I'm sick from eating all the fruit, too.
Was I an inconsiderate jerk?
