Boyfriend cancelling our plans for other plans?

41 replies

Bfhelp123 · 06/04/2023 09:53

My boyfriend is away for work. Will be home tomorrow, haven’t seen him in 2 weeks, we don’t live together. We made plans that tomorrow when he is home we will have a nice dinner and catch up.
he rang yesterday to say that his friend is coming over to his house tomorrow night once he’s back. This is a work friend who he has been away with, so not one he hasn’t seen in a while.
I said what about our date night and he said we can do it on Saturday, am I wrong to be pissed at this? He also said I could join his friend and him if I wanted.

The fact that you even need to ask this question shows that your self esteem is sadly lacking.

Read Women Who Love Too Much.

And consider not seeing him on Saturday. Or any other day.

I'd assume he wasn't that into me. What a twat.

He's saying he hasn't missed you and he'd prefer to carry on in the company of his friend. I'd be busy for the rest of my life.

How long have you been together?

Beautiful3 · 06/04/2023 17:31

I'm sorry but it doesn't sound like he actually missed you. He should be excited to see you, not prioritising his friend. I'd make plans with friends on Saturday and tell him you already have plans. I'd leave seeing him, until next weekend.

Is this a one off or a pattern?

It became a pattern with my ex. When I got cancelled because of playing in a friendly football match after 3 weeks of not seeing each other, I was done.

If it's a one off, make your feelings clear and why you feel that way.

Looking forward to the update.

Will be home tomorrow, haven’t seen him in 2 weeks, we don’t live together. We made plans that tomorrow when he is home

Please consider that your boyfriend has been away for two weeks and the plans you made are for the same night he returns. It may be a bit much?
Is it worth a talk with him a few days from now when he's settled back into his routine?
Everything just seems so readily disposable nowadays.. Sad

Had a chat with my husband recently who said he would cancel plans with others he dated if his friends texted to ask him to come over as he wasn't that into them, but would cancel plans with his friends to see me, basicaly he's nit that into you. Find someone who is. Only sharing as it's from the horses mouth so to speak

Shoxfordian · 06/04/2023 19:04

He’s not that into you
Dump him

WunWun · 06/04/2023 19:07

Yeah, I wouldn't get angry about this. I would presume he was just not feeling it anymore.

Tinkerbyebye · 06/04/2023 19:20

He has made it clear you are not a priority even more so if he has seen this friend whilst away

personally I would be responding that as he has made his priorities clear he is obviously not really into me so we need to go our separate ways and find someone who does care

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 06/04/2023 19:34

He also said I could join his friend and him if I wanted**

He's not bothered what you do either way, OP.

Sorry, formatting screw up but the crucial words there are 'if I wanted.'

BlueLabel · 06/04/2023 21:18

I'm another one who couldn't get too excited about seeing a guy who cancelled existing plans for someone he'd spent the last two weeks with, and didn't seem to bothered to see me.

How long have you been together out of interest?

Rainbow1901 · 06/04/2023 21:25

I wouldn't be around when he turns up for the date night whenever it might be and I wouldn't tell him in advance either! He won't be your priority for much longer if he carries on like that!

Spottycarousel · 06/04/2023 21:27

Unfortunately it sounds like he's not too bothered about your relationship.

It's your call what you decide to do, knowing that.
