So this saturday, he's spending the entire day with a friend and wants to see me sunday which is my cousin's birthday. I told him I'm sorry but couldn't, he asked me if I could leave early and after a while I agreed. But now, I'm thinking, why should I cancel my plans? Couldn't he leave his event early? I'm always breaking my plans for him. I don't mind him spending time with his friends, but I am a bit annoyed. I'm also starting school soon and there will be less time spent together. This worries me. We already have enough to deal with being an interracial relationship with a significant age gap to boot-so now, this...time is against us. Guys, am I overreacting?

Guys will almost always start to take advantage of your availability to them. If you always revolve your plans around him then you will eventually find you are making a lot more compromises in the relationship than he is. Your commitment for your cousin's birthday is more important and if anyone should alter their plans, its him.
