writes:I wanted to share my little problem im having with my gf.On sunday me and my gf organised a dinner date with her friend at 7.30pm. That day i had my cpr and first aid certification school untill 6pm. So i spent all day doing cpr certification came home for lunch for an hour etc. So it came down to crunch time around 6pm we were doing the cpr exam so i msg her saying that it might take a while. So i did my test and i didnt pass the test so they made me stay and do it untill i get it. So it came around 7pm so i msged her saying i dont think i can make it in time. But later around 7.30pm i was still doing the exam so i checked my fone to send another msg my 7pm msg didnt send! so she received my last msg! so actually i came home around 8.30pm and she wasnt happy..I mean i couldnt just go home middle of the exam saying i have plans and i didnt know the exam would last that long. so my question is should she b angry like that? obviously she had the high hopes going to the dinner plan but u know sometimes u cant control what happens..so i want your opinions plzthanks yoi

 And this is why we do not use text messages to have relationships. Maybe a quick phone call would have solved the problem.
yes the planning was poor. IF you had an exam till 6 and then had dinner plans at 7:30 that was cutting it close to begin with.
If she knew in advance that you had the exam till 6 then she should be more understanding and if you have never stood her up or been late before then she for sure should be more understanding and forgiving.
On the other hand if you didn't send a message or call her after the 7 pm message didn't go, then part of the problem is your lack of communication.

 Did you know ahead of time that you would HAVE an exam? If so, you should have told her ahead of time. That way she could have rescheduled this dinner date, which was apparently important to her.
But in general, no, your exams are MORE important then a dinner date. I would take her out for a dinner to make it up to her :) Hopefully she will understand that you TAKING & PASSING your exams is important.
In the future make sure you let he know (preferably ahead of time if you have stuff coming up when she is planning things).
I think you did the right thing in sending her a message letting her know what was up, because sometimes life doesn't just fall into place as we'd like it.

 OP,Sometimes you can't have control of everything especially time..and just like you I tend to give more priority to studies and work! And I'm glad I did it at that point cuz whatever I have achieved today is because of the sacrifice that I had to do at that time!I can totally understand how people around you can get a little annoyed!!so what's best is you tell her 'that you have a hectic schedule and you would love to spend time with her but sometimes exams\studies tend to take a toll on your social life but you will make up for it and make sure you can do something special for her' but until you figure things out,you need her to be patient..and whenever you get a chance do something special for her,may be a 'breakfast in bed' however cliched it sounds,every girl would appreciate the effort,may be buy her flowers..just let her know you love her but you just don't have the time right now..good luck

 HiI can understand her being a little upset, but it's just one of those things that happens in life. You couldn't have left the exam so even though the text didn't send your girlfriend knew where you were.Unless you make a habit of letting her down, she should accept your apology, and maybe you could treat her to make her smile again
