It is important for me that we spend some time together since he works overtime nearly each day. We had planned on going to a sports game together if he gets the tickets from work. Well, he only got 1 and that is for himself, in addition, he was asked by his boss to go if he can to the game and take his 2 other co-workers with him. His working hours have been cutting in the our quality of spending time with each other, and so I though that Sunday would be a great opportunity before I leave. He knows that since we both spoken about it. He said that would both go, but now its only him. How can I politely tell him to invest time in the relationship?

Let this day out go. It's obviously important to him, not more important than you, just important, and really you don't want to go abroad leaving him just after an argument. Just tell him that you hope you'll get to spend some more time together when you get back and see how things are when you get back. If theyre still bad then sit down and talk about it calmly and rationally but I wouldn't bring it up before you go. You don't want to leave him with that impression of you or go abroad feeling like you've left problems or a bad atmosphere behind you.
