We have been dating for half a year now, we have a strong connection in all ways, but she is not from UK she is Chinese and there is a bit of a gap between us culturally.
Recently she is set to see old friends from Hong Kong who live outside of London. We talked over the beginning of the week about her seeing them Friday then Saturday. I told her Friday works and we'll go out to dinner, then Saturday I probably help my mother in the morning, which meant I couldn't spend the day in London with them.
Well today I found out that she was going away for the weekend and I had the chance to go. But when I called her she was annoyed that I hadn't told her I might be able to take off and also if I could even come, saying her friends are specific in their plans and she didn't want to make a change.
She eventually apologized later when we were together. But did not go further to anything else of whether or not she'd even try to ask for me to come. I was excited to say I was available, and she was instead angry at me.
My two cents is that she wants quality time with her friends, maybe in their language it's easier than having to have me as a third wheel- which is what I feel like anyway now. I wish I wasn't available I'm the first place because it makes me feel awkward for whatever reason.
Anyone have any similar experience, am I just looking into things too much?
