I'd suggested to my boyfriend that we might go to one of our beach houses for a few days. He never really wants to go away for long, maybe two or three days. I think it's because he feels like he's missing out on stuff at home, which is a real shame as it makes me feel like he doesn't really want to spend time with me. Anyway, he said he'd check his diary to see when we could go (he said he'd reshuffle a few things to make room for us to go). Last night he told me that he didn't have any time to go at all, and that he was sorry. Naturally I said that was fine and I understood, but it made me feel upset, as he's had holidays since early November, and this has been my only week off since January. Is it unreasonable to be upset? I feel like he's had the whole holidays to organise these things he's doing this week (seeing a course consellor etc.), and him leaving them to the last minute has really ruined my chance at a holiday with him. We've been going out for a year and a half, if that makes any difference.Should I just leave it all, or should I approach him and let him know how I feel? I don't want to make him feel upset.Thanks in advance for your help!mervy. Reply to this Question Share |

Tell him it's to bad he didn't plan better to have this week off, but that you don't see why that should ruin your holiday. And that you'll be spending it at the beach house without him. Not only will he probably suddenly find the time to go with you but it will teach him to plan better and not to take you for granted.
If he doesn't go with you or care that you plan to go alone, (or taking a friend) then maybe it is time to find a new boyfriend.
