RANT! >:(

Sorry, but I need to have a bit of a rant. Hopefully I'll calm down afterwards.

Why do boys only ever think of themselves? Especially, why does my boy have to only ever think of himself. I got a phone call at 4:00 today asking me if I wanted to go to London with him, and if so then I had to be ready by 6:00. Never mind that I already had plans for

K, sorry, but here comes a bit of a feminist rant. Why on earth are you dropping everything, changing your plans, and blowing off your own mother for a last minute, poorly planned and inconsiderate invitation from your boy? If he really wanted you to come, and to have a good time, he would have consulted you and made sure that it was not disruptive to your plans! You certainly wouldn't expect him to put his life to a screeching halt to do something lat minute with you would you? If you really wanted to go, it would be one thing, but it sounds like you could use the time off!
Sorry, just couldn't help myself! Feel free to ignore me, but I get tired of self centered boys too!

I'm a huge pushover, which is why I dropped everything. I'm a bit pathetic; I'm sorry!!

It wasn't that bad, though. Apart from the journey it was a very relaxing weekend, and I'm now prepared for the mad rush to catch up with my work.

Please don't think too badly of me, or my boy!

Sorry, didn't mean to get all high and mighty with ya!;) I just have a couple of girlfriends whose husbands are currently being huge asses to them and i'm a bit over sensitive to it at the moment. I'm glad your trip turned out well!

Aww! It's awful when friends or boyfriends spring things on you like this. And I get the impression that your relationship with your boyfriend is kind of new? If so, that can make it even harder to say "no," or even "not this time." :(

But now that you've gone with him on short notice once, maybe this will give you an opportunity to talk with him about how much nicer it would be if the two of you could discuss plans together instead of it being all one-sided. And if he springs something like this on you again, the next time it might be easier for you to say "no" now that you've played along once!

I hope the weekend worked out okay for you. Meeting his mother, even? That's scary stuff! Hope it went well. :)

We've actually been going out for nearly a year; does that make me sound really stupid for just going along with it? I now think I may have over-reacted a bit, as it was actually a very good weekend - we didn't go into touristy London, but we did go shopping (I got new socks :) ) and we went to a local theatre, which was very enjoyable. But I think you're right: we really do need to talk about our plans together. In fact, I think he needs to talk about his plans to everyone involved - his mum didn't know we were coming either, and was more than a bit surprised when we came down for breakfast on Saturday morning, without her even realising we were in the house! Fortunately she was more or less OK with it, but still, it wasn't the best first impression!
