@the.truth.doctor: Sally is a bank executive and her fiancé Tom is an executive in a finance company. Sally calls Tom several times daily during working hours and gets upset if he doesn’t answer. Tom thinks this is unnecessary and feels embarrassed at times. However he doesn’t want to upset Sally and reluctantly complies with the phone calls. One day, Tom had to turn off his mobile phone because of an important meeting. Sally tried to call him many times and became angry and upset. She subsequently turned up at Tom’s office sobbing and accusing him of leaving her. Tom tried to apologise and reassure her, but Sally continued to be angry and even threatened to harm herself. When Tom turned on his mobile, he saw more than 50 missed calls from Sally.
