writes:I just wanted others' views on whether I am right in being upset over this...Last night my boyfriend was with his friends, and I was with mine.I've been having a hard time lately, trouble at home with family, trouble with my job, etc. I've kept it together until last night, when one of my friends was unusually nasty and viscious towards me. I left where my friends were, and all the emotion that had been building up inside me came out, and I understandably got very upset.Now my boyfriend and I have alot of time on our own - we do keep our own friends and do our own things. In the 6 months we have been together, not once have I asked him to cancel plans for me (etc). I called him last night very upset, asking to see him. I understood he was with friends, and said if he didn't want to meet right now, could we meet soon, as in maybe in an hour (which would have been 10pm).He said no! There was no reason for him to say no - it wasn't a special night, they were friends he could see any night of the week should he so wish. He wasn't drinking, so he could have driven, and he couldn't give me a reason why he wouldn't meet me, just said he didn't know what time he would be with his friends until. As it happens, he got home at 11pm.Am I right in being upset? As I said, I'm not one of these girls who demands attention and we both have plenty of time on our own with our friends. I have always come number 1 with my boyfriend (before this happened!), as he does with me. Reply to this Question

Askoldersister - you read my question wrong. I didn't DEMAND that he meet me, I asked.
I was upset that he didn't meet me because I haven't ever asked that of him before, I don't expect him to cancel plans for me because I wouldn't want him to ask that of me either.
Normally he is my knight in shining armour...Guess I just felt let down one of the rare times I ask him for help.

 I'm sorry, but if a person was particularly nasty to me and I was upset my fella would of tore her off a strip and defended my honour.
He is very protective of me and if anybody upset me in his presence he would have given them a piece of his mind. Thats what people who care about you do..... or do I sound old fashioned here????
