Nothing at all. She's a former girlfriend of mine who has a disturbing habit of retconning the universe to suit her desires. I really did love her, once....
Ouch. I had an ex who did that. Drove me absolutely round the bend. I finally called her on it and said "I'm sorry, but I can only deal with things as they were, not as you would like to remember them."
And that, as they say, was the end of that.
(What drove me even more insane is that that behaviour is one she'd routinely call other people on and castigate them for. A friend of mine observed, "Well, of course. If she let other people get away with it, you'd have two people lying, and you'd NEVER be able to figure out what was really going on.")
"I'm sorry, but I can only deal with things as they were, not as you would like to remember them."
Even that I might be able to handle ($DEITY knows I've been guilty of it myself in the past). This is a case of making mountains out of molehills to make better soundbites out of her story.
Well, in fairness, I don't think what happened to her was a molehill. I think it was wrong of her to say what she did, and what happened that day certainly devastated other lives in a way it did not devastate hers, and saying what she did was an exaggeration at best, so I can see why the saying seemed to fit. But "molehill" trivialises what did happen to her just a bit too much, I think.
Fair enough - a mountain out of a foothill would perhaps be a better representation of scale. Not something you ignore, but not something that should be overstated. (Claiming the events of the day had a direct effect on my personal life, when what it directly affected was my professional livelihood, would have been molehill territory.)
Friends don't let friends post in LJ before coffee ---------- Wow, We both have the same tastes in girlfriends (rotten), at least you have good taste in Boys.
Sigh sadly not a option for me....
I’m so going to have to get you drunk at next con and get the whole story……

My deepest sympathies to you both.
