rubbish boyfriend

am i right to be annoyed? should i say something to him or just let it slide? do i wait around until he's finished watching the football then see him? or do i just go out with someone else?

Your points might have some backing if he wasn't cancelling on a pre-organised date to watch football without her... If he was planning to watch the game and she kept pestering him to miss it for her, and they hadn't planned something for a week, then I'd agree with you.

The OP isn't more interested in her wants than his, she's said that if he offered to miss the game for her she wouldn't ask him to - it's the way he's approached this, by just telling her that he's not going to be seeing her as a football game is on telly, and cancelling on her.

Like I suggested, it's possible to turn this round and turn the football game itself into a date situation for you, OP. Try that, if it'd make you feel better/happier?

how on earth do you come to that conclusion

i finish my exams on wednesday and my boyfriend was taking me out as a treat for a meal and the cinema, just because i've been quite stressed and worked really hard and we've not had much time together recently as he's had exams too. i've been really looking forward to this, which he knows. it's been the kind of thing i've been able to say ugh i don't want to do this last exam but oh yay when its over i can do that with my boyfriend

however, he's just cancelled on me because theres a football game on that he forgot about. it's the team he supports and it's a very big game and normally i wouldnt mind but i got so excited about our date and it's like he's chosen football over me (actually, that's exactly what he's done) and now i just feel a bit done. he was very apologetic and promised to make it up to me. but i can't help but feel quite annoyed that i'm going to have to find something else to do now. very few of my friends have finished their exams by then so it's not like i have many options.

i'd be hugely pissed off. its only ******* football,


Simple, i agree u should appreciate a relationship, but u cnt just ignore football...

UMMM. LOL. do you realise that your boyfriends posted a thread about the same tpic on TSR, just obviously from his point of view?!

Go the pub and watch the match with him (just don't be an annoying 'talking' girl whilst the match is on if you aren't actually talking about anything football specific - commenting on someones fashion sense/hotness is not cool!) and then go to the cinema after the match finishes, although if his team lose be prepared for a sulky git for a couple of hours.

lol i did read that, but it's not my boyfriend as he's in work atm
