Who you gonna call??
I backed into someone with my car this afternoon. Not a person, but their car. And I was relieved to see, upon climbing out of my car, that there was zero damage on my car, and minimal damage on her's. Both cars escaped dent free, although her front bumper had a little scratch that would need to be buffered out.
In all, it was a case that police didn't need to be involved and we should have both just driven away. That is, until she started asking for my phone number and insurance information. And I was at a loss what to do. It was at that precise moment that I dropped my cell phone on the ground and it split into three pieces. My cell and I have a bond — this did not help my already frazzled state. I started to cry, and immediately pressed the speed dial that would connect me with my boyfriend.
After he figured out that I was okay, and that the tears were more of a result from hurting my cell phone than leaving a scratch on some woman's car, he told me not to give out a bit of information. It was good advice because this woman wanted to do anything but get police or her own insurance involved. And for a good majority of the time, he stayed on the phone with me — the best he could do 132 miles away.
But I realized that when I am in trouble or in distress or just overall not in a good frame of mind, he's my first phone call. And it goes both ways — if something amazing has happened, I call him. Unless, of course, it involves him, than I call my best friend. But it's a pretty comforting thought to know that of all the times I have relied on him and gave him the importance of being my first phone call, he's gotten through with flying colors each time.
How about you? Is your significant other your first phone call? And give us an example of when they have come through when you needed them the most!

is this real?
What part needs clarifying?
Stupid!!!!!
Anon #2 (and I am going to assume you are No. 1 as well?)...is there anything you would like to talk about? You seem very bitter, and that's what we are here for...to talk to people as well. : )
I find nothing "stupid" with having a supportive BF who I can count on. In some relationships, that's not always the case! I'm not quite sure how you can argue that it is a bad thing to have that.
I think it's a good sign for a relationship when your first call is no longer your mom, but your significant other! Added plus - he supports you through the call!
Anon. #3 ... I never thought of it that way. I'm definitely going to pay attention who I dial first next time I'm in an emergency. (Although, hopefully, that won't be too soon.)
