Is this worth being annoyed over?

[bobsnack]

Tonight I was meant to be on a girls night out.
My boyfriend guilt tripped me into staying in ...saying we never see each other.
Anyway he was meant to finish at 7 pm (he said I promise I won't be late and we will have the night together)
Surprise surprise he has just text and he is going to be late ..as they are "too busy" to leave
So I'm sat here alone whilst I could of been out having fun.
Aibu to be annoyed here?
I knew he would do this

Do you live together op?

He did this on purpose. I had a boyfriend who used to do this, or who would call me with an 'emergency' while I was out. He once called me and told me he was having an asthma attack and needed me, I took him to A&E and while he could face lying to me, he drew the line at lying to them so he had to tell the triage nurse he made it up. I was fuming.

I hope you're having a drink and getting ready to go out!

Just catch up with your mates. Never prioritise your man over a rare girls night out, you need your friends.

Manipulative prick.

You should go out and LTB.

Please just go out - even if you are too late to meet your friends or go to the cinema, at least have a nice meal somewhere.

No it's not worth getting mad over. That won't change anything. If it's a pattern of behaviour that you can already see emerging I would seriously consider the future of your relationship. Honestly the number of red flags I ignored. I wish I'd opened my eyes sooner

I know this is a really old reference but does anyone remember when at the end of SATC Carrie was in Paris with the Russian and he guilted her into ditching her new friends who were throwing a party for her?
Then she just sat there alone whilst he ignored her. I've never forgotten that because it was so clearly about him and his insecurity.
She did it earlier in their relationship too because he convinced her she was cosy and happy with him so she bailed on her lunch with the girls.

Just go out with your friends.
if he makes a fuss, tell him you're not going to sit around waiting for him.

Mate I would be fuming!
Get ready and get yourself out out!

Oh I'd have been out before you even wrote this post. He's playing you..... This is just a sign of things to come.

So I'm sat here alone whilst I could of been out having fun.

Do something about it then. Call a taxi, get ready and go out. It doesn't sound like he's given you at ETA, he wants you to sit there waiting for him until he's ready to grace you with his presence. Bugger that.

The saying, if it won't matter in 5 years don't spend more than 5 minutes worrying/being annoyed about it.

...and go out 😁

Just go out. And re-evaluate the boyfriend, he sounds like a knob

Manipulative twat!! Get rid, get ready and go out!

You need to be careful in this situation. If my friend bailed on me because her boyfriend didn’t want her coming out, and only changed her mind because he wasn’t free, I’d feel used and I’d be wary of inviting her out in future as it would feel like a lot of hassle.
Don’t lose friends because of someone who can’t be bothered!
