writes:My boyfriend of one year made plans (without running the dates by me)booked a hotel for him and his son and his son's friend to the tune of $600.00. A few hours after this was done he called to tell me about it and said my options were that I could stay with them for free or, if I wanted to bring my daughter and her friend I could try to find my own room(there was one available at the time he had called) and then I could pay $600. He also scheduled this during my work week so that I would have to request the time off. My feeling was that he should go and enjoy himself and if in the future he wanted me to go, he would include me in the plans to begin with before making the reservations and then I could plan better for the dates. He's acting like I'm being stubborn and should now try to fit my schedule around what he's already done. Am I doing the right thing to try to 'teach' him that he should be more considerate and include me from the beginning? Reply to this Question

If not, no he shouldn't have to consult you but I wouldn't go with him either. If it's just a trip for him and his son, then let them go. If he really wants you to come along, yes he is being extremely inconsiderate and needs to learn to respect you as a person.
