I don't get it.

Isn't it the guys job to be left wondering what on earth just happened? We see things so differently. We were having coffee and playing cards with some friends, having a grand ole time. I came on my motorcycle and he in his truck as I had a meeting to go to. So, I arrive later and we both leave at the same time. People are driving a little crazy and I feel safer with someone driving behind me that I KNOW notices me. And we're both headed home, so why not? So I ask Stephen to either follow me or I follow him.

Well, I ask him if we're going to meet in the front or the back of the parking lot. I don't get answer from him; I think he was confused by what I meant by "front" and "back" of the parking lot. OK, no worries. So, he wanders off to his truck and I grab my bike and pull it to the curb and wait. And wait some more. He still hadn't pulled around. I think maybe he went to the other side of the parking lot, toward the exit. I head off in that direction and still don't see him. OK. I figure he's left just ahead of me. I ride off and look around to catch up to him. He's not around, but then I see another couple that were having coffee and playing cards with us.

Cool, I'll just tail them. We get home and Stephen pulls up a few seconds behind me. He gets out pretty upset. He says that I deviated from the "plan." But that's the whole thing, we had no planned meeting point. We hadn't worked out what to do. And it really wasn't a huge deal. He had apparently been boxed in by two trucks and hadn't left the lot until after I did. But he's upset that I hadn't called him. But it seems to me that he had more information than I did. He could have easily called me.

Then he starts talking about how he was hurt because me thinking he left the lot without me shows that I don't trust him. Ehhhh? To me it seems like a minor incident of incomplete communication. But it's this whole huge deal now. How did this become a trust issue?

Sigh.
