No ifs, ands, buts, or ors. Not cool at all. It would be slightly more understandable if it was a really impt meeting for HIM but since he has NOTHING to do with it except offer a friend advice, he needs to put his GF first. <br /><br />sports match has nothing to do with the real reason so he should be able to go to that without that being big deal.<br /><br /><3 you camiAdrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618242972934027681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437216135535978740.post-62827304220819038352012-07-19T02:32:07.381-04:002012-07-19T02:32:07.381-04:00I have to agree with the other ladies.

This would have been the best solution.<br /><br />Boyfriend, needs to be more appreciative of girlfriend's available vacation time, especially because she is not in control of when she can take it. They live together and therefore are a family unit... family vacation and time is important.<br /><br />Girlfriend also needs to think of herself. She should have stayed with the original plans and if boyfriend could not stay the duration - he would need to work that out. She only has 5 days and it sounds like she needs a break. <br /><br />As for him going off with the boys the following week ... that has no relevance to the week in question. She should not be angry (though I understand that is an automatic reaction). If Girlfriend feels Boyfriend is not making her (or the relationship) a priority, there could be other issues that are more complicated than a vacation.<br /><br />Good luck to Girlfriend ... let her know she deserves her 5 days, whether boyfriend joins or not. She may be surprised at how much sometime alone can really clear ones head. If she is in the habit of compromising, to accommodate Boyfriend's needs/schedule - he could be (unaware) taking her for granted. It's always good for women to show they can do things on their own (and do not depend on their partner for everything).<br /><br />Hope this helps..xo HHLhighheeledlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205935979513877589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437216135535978740.post-25576302692349512552012-07-17T09:10:27.136-04:002012-07-17T09:10:27.136-04:00I agree with the other ladies-I think he should de...I agree with the other ladies-I think he should definitely avoid the sports thing. Girlfriend should definitely say something!

The issue is that his friends have come before his girlfriend. In a committed relationship, your partner should be your #1 priority and he has not made that happen. <br /><br />In the situation of their "family" vacation, he should hold those days sacred except for a true emergency situation (which this is not). Helping a friend is nice, but it should not supersede his previous commitment of their vacation together.<br /><br />This is why she is so upset over the week later with the game. It is feels that, once again, HE gets to set his friends as a priority and she is an afterthought. <br /><br />She needs to share all of this openly and honestly with him. It isn't about fairness in their schedules, because they are so different, things will never seem "fair" (which means equal). It is about priority, and making sure that his relationship with her is his #1 priority, even above being kind and helpful to others.Kate @ Teaching What Is Goodhttp://teachingwhatisgood.comnoreply@blogger.com
