Dear Breakup Girl,

I've been dating this guy pretty seriously for about 2 months now. Last night I got really drunk and when I got home I called him. When he finally let me go, I was going to call my ex-boyfriend that I dated for a year and half. I dialed my current boyfriend's number instead and I asked for my ex. I don't have any feelings for my ex but what should I do to get my current boyfriend to not be mad at me?

-- Julie

Dear Julie,

Ah, yes. The good old three-way conference call with Jack Daniels. What you needed was the Breakup Phone, whose redial function not only calls back whomever you just called, but also takes back whatever you just said.

But how to fix things now? Tell and show. Tell Boyfriend you get why he's mad and that you could not be more mortified and sorry; show him that you think he and only he is the cat's meow.

That is, of course, if that's the case. I mean, my research shows that when you're drunk is not when you get out your to-do list and try to bang through all those calls you owe people you don't have feelings for. Do I have your number, Julie? Your call.

Love,
Breakup Girl
