So, I was listening to Roula & Ryan's Roses this morning and the situation was that this couple had been in a relationship for 2.5 years I think she said. They're 18 or 19 (even though the form says you have to be 21 to play) and currently live in different areas because of college. They've been having a long-distant relationship for a while now and he spent the summer in summer school so they didn't really see each other. He was supposed to come down this past weekend but he called and cancelled so she had Roula call him and offer him roses to see who he would send them to.
So, Roula calls and a woman answers. She sounds like she was asleep when the call came in. They ask for the boyfriend and she, groggily, says "it's for you" and the guy picks up. He also sounds like he just woke up. Anyway, Roula does her spiel and offers him roses and he happily accepts. When they tell him they can be sent anywhere he tells them to send them there - to his dorm. Roula says okay then asks for a name and a greeting for the card. He gives the name of someone other than the girlfriend and the girlfriend immediately jumps in (which she's not supposed to do, by the way).
The guy was livid that she'd had the radio station call him and said he'd talk to her off the radio and hung up without further discussion. The girlfriend, at this point, is sobbing uncontrollably. They talk to her for a minute and then let her go and open the discussion up for the DJs and then callers (which I didn't get to hear but one).
The DJs were hung up on the age thing and college saying what the guy was doing was to be expected and to have a long-distant relationship when you're that young isn't really realistic.
I don't remember what the caller I did hear said but all I could think was DID NO ONE ELSE PICK UP ON THE PHONE BEING ANSWERED BY ANOTHER WOMAN????? WHO SOUNDED LIKE THE PHONE HAD WOKE HER UP??? AND THAT THE BOYFRIEND WAS RIGHT THERE?
I don't know, it was just kinda weird to me. But, I guess in the long run, at least now the girl knows...time to move on.

Poor girl. And what an idiot boyfriend.
Mr. Honey and I dated long-distance for 2 school years before we got married, so I promise it can work when you're that young. :)
Poor girl For me, age isn't an excuse. Cheating is cheating, no matter how old you are.
Have they ever called anyone who finds out that the boyfriend/husband is faithful and sends the roses to her? It's sad that there are so many dogs out there.
I meaned called "for someone"...
Ellen, yes they have. But the thing about that (and the reason a friend of mine will never listen to the show) is that it still reveals a problem in the relationship.
That's true. If they need to call the station, there's a 'trust' issue.
