To be pissed off at my boyfriend for this?

Have been with my boyfriend for 8 months. Very new and lovely relationship.
It is my birthday in 2 weeks time. I had a rotten birthday last year (was dumped by my ex on my birthday lol). He told me to book time off work for a couple of days.

He’s just messaged me saying “oh I’ve messed up, I booked for us to go to Vienna for a couple of days but I just realised my passport has expired” “don’t worry it’s refundable but didn’t cross my mind”

I just can’t help but feel really deflated, he didn’t seem that bothered about it. I’m obviously really grateful he booked it as I’ve wanted to go for ages. He’s since been really apologetic about it, but I don’t know whether to be annoyed at his general disorganisation. He’s since said he’d make it up to me, but didn’t say this at first.

Am I being unreasonable?

Bloody hell, I'm sorry OP but he's a liar plain and simple and was crying because he was caught out lying. Get rid of him love and find a real man that will treat you right, not one like this absolute tool who had your hopes up to then go and do this. He's a lying rat.

Well, that’s shit but ffs YABU. He tried to do such a lovely thing for you and made a mistake. So what? Go another time and suggest somewhere in the U.K. instead for now. He probably wanted to tell you because he had been excited about the big plans and didn’t want you to think he’d made you boob time off for nothing.

Bullshit.

This was the classic move of a Future Faker.

OP has forgiven him and listened to him and won't be back.

For a while!
Good luck OP if you see this, you deserve better
