My boyfriend went out yesterday and asked me to pick him up at a certain time. I turned down plans so that I could pick him up but he ignored my texts and calls until hours after. He then phoned me drunk asking to pick him up hours after. Am I being the typical controlling girlfriend or do I have every right to be annoyed? This happens nearly every time he goes out and I’m so exhausted of being let down every time.

Just say no next time he asks you to collect him?

Luckymummytoone · 12/02/2022 22:59

Ps I would be annoyed too x

Not unreasonable. It’s just bloody rude!

PurpleDaisies · 12/02/2022 23:01

You turned down plans just so you could pick him up?
He doesn’t show then is horrible to you and seriously you’re asking if you’re being controlling?
This isn’t even the first time.

Please say you do isn’t actually go and pick him up when he rang you.

Why on earth are you putting up with this? I would find your self respect and move on.

You cancelled your own plans so you could pick him up? Shock

Mate you are a walking doormat - where's your self respect? He sounds like he treats you as a taxi driver. Bin him off.

Charlotte98764 · 12/02/2022 23:06

I didn’t cancel plans I had already agreed to pick him up and then got asked to go for dinner.

Can’t he afford a taxi?

Why wouldn’t you just text and tell him to get an Uber home or something?

You knew what would happen because he’s done it before. He treats you like dirt in other areas as well.

Why are you happy for someone to ast like this towards you?

Blinkingheckythump · 12/02/2022 23:12

I voted yabu. Not for being annoyed with him. But for putting up with this shit
You said he's done it before. Learn from your mistakes!

Charlotte98764 · 12/02/2022 23:13

You are right..! He can afford a taxi but as I had no plans at the time I offered (stupid mistake!)

His friends make me feel like I’m being controlling so I wanted other peoples views.

Of course they do. They’re his friends.

You are being a total doormat.

PinkSyCo · 12/02/2022 23:16

Erm no you are the very opposite of a controlling girlfriend. You are the one who’s being controlled, and it really confuses me as to why you can’t see that. He has you giving up plans and wasting your whole night waiting around for him ffs. Why do you think you should be at his beck and control? Tell him to get a fucking taxi and get on with your life.

DorothyZbornakIsAQueen · 12/02/2022 23:21

Don't offer to pick him up again.

Member869894 · 13/02/2022 10:39

You are the one being controlled. Don't put up with this nonsense
