To ask him to meet me at the airport?

[Burritowrap]

Bf and I have been together for over a year.
For xmas, we flew to visit our families seperately for 3/4 weeks.
I flew back home yesterday, it was a 24 hour journey. I had heavy luggage and needed to pick up my pet on the way home.
I have asked him several times to meet me at the airport, I dont know why but it makes me feel cared for and I am excited to see him after a month, but he never has. Bearing in mind it takes 20 mins on the train for a pound!
Yesterday, he said he couldnt come to meet me as he did not have time. He had work to do, I know he went on a night out whilst I was flying and was too hungover to bother.
Ive told him I am hurt and he has now come back with that I am unsupportive of his work!

My husband would meet me at the station. We used to be in a LDR and would always meet eachother at the station. Why wouldn't you?
A lot of you have very low bars.

Because I have consideration for how he might like to make use of his time, and I think giving up almost half a day to accompany someone on a 20 min train journey is a waste of time.

Picking up/collecting from the station by car is different, and we do that for each other all the time.

I wouldn't do that for my partner and he wouldn't do it for me. Neither one of us would even ask. Not because we don't love or value each other or don't want to see each other, but both of us would see it as an absolutely pointless waste of others' time.

Picking up with a car? Yes, we both do that. Always. Shlepping to and fro on a train, so you can sit together on a train? What's the point? 'Romantic'? Neither of us are 15 and even at 15 I wouldn't have seen it as romantic.

I'm a competent adult woman, frequently travel solo, short and long haul, and never pack more than I'm able to carry. My partner is the same. If he suddenly decided he's unable to take a short train ride home without my 'support', I'd think he'd lost his marbles.

They only way either of us would do this, is if the other one injured themselves whilst away and is in need of genuine help.
