Boyfriend gone in a mood...was I in the wrong?

Sunday we went to Liverpool for two nights.
The train got us in at 1.30pm
The plan was to go out on the night and have a meal and drinks (I bought a new outfit ,quite dressy)
We couldn't check in hotel till 3pm so we dropped bags off at hotel and went into town.
I said il pop into h&m.
He wanted to watch the England rugby match which started at 3pm...so I suggested going to a pub and then checking in to hotel after it finished (around 4.40pm)

He said no he wanted to check in before that.
So we got to hotel for 3.10 pm and he said wanted to go straight out and watch rugby but stay out all night(without me getting changed)
I looked a hot mess,it was raining and miserable.
I said let's go straight out but I need to go back after rugby to change my outfit and top up makeup (half hour tops )
He said he couldn't be bothered to do that as once we were out we should be out.

So he sat in the hotel room face like thunder.
I asked him why he was being like that,he said he wanted to watch rugby in the pub with atmosphere(I said let's go to the pub before we checked in and then i said let's go straight to the pub after we checked in) so he had two chances to go....both wasn't good enough for him.

Was I in the wrong?I wasn't stopping him from watching it
All I wanted was half hour to get changed after it finished.
I would have been out by half 5 regardless

I don't understand why anyone would bother going away somewhere for a weekend only to spend it doing something he could do back home? Bin him right off!

You offered him a few options and he was sulking as not getting his own way. Sounds like he did not want you to get all dressed up and preferred you to be in jeans and hoodie. You suggested he went to the pub across the road and you would meet him in half an hour. Why could he not do that. I would not have gone out either in jeans and hoodie and would have wanted to freshen up and change clothes as most people would be dressed up for the night. He sounds very difficult. Hope you are ok and reconsider things with him as he sounds very inflexible.

Hmm

What happens if you have children and you will be the one left at home while he is out in the pub. I think you need to have a good think about things as it should not be that difficult. Please let us know what happened and then he wants to get back early to watch match of the day and the superbowl (which is crap)...He can watch match of the day when he gets back from weekend away. A weekend away is for doing things together, usually different things and enjoying what the city or break has to offer and making each other a priority. Hope you got to dress up and had fun but I think you can do better as he will drag you down as so inflexible.

Wow op. Dump him. He will make you miserable.

Bin him he’s addicted to a-oft you’ll come second best.

We went to Liverpool for valentines too (still here). I don't blame you at all for wanting to get changed. Especially as the weather so crap! It chucked it down. He doesn't sound like he's prioritising you xx

I once dated a man exactly like this. His social life (and by default, mine) revolved around which sport was on, which pub was showing it, the screens... I dumped him when we went out for a pub lunch and I realised he sat us at a table with a screen behind me, so he was watching football the whole time!
Walked out of that pub and never looked back.

If he won't compromise you'll live a life revolving around him. It would be a dealbreaker for me.

Basically I’d never go away with him again and leave him at home so he can watch all the sports he wants. And I’d take myself off somewhere nice alone or with mates. If he was that invested in your relationship and feelings he could have managed one day without sports. There are replays he could have watched later.

He’s a miserable selfish arsehole. You gave him several options and he got sulky about it not all being about him and his sorts interests.

I couldn’t be arsed with someone like that.

His primary relationship is with the men running around a field playing sport ball. Don't be his secondary relationship, when his right hand can do that job more easily.
