Q: Overreacting?
asked by: Zanny on September 22nd, 2006
Supporter
Ok well after my hormonal post the other day you ladies will know that i'm a tad unstable at the moment (biggest understatement since my mum said .Hitler "wasn't a very nice man").. But now I dunno whether it's just my hormones being stupid or i'm actually right to think like this..

I agreed with my boyfriend that we wouldn't see each other til the birth so he could save up for the baby.. And that upset me, but now I see that it's definitely the right thing to do, coz there's still quite of lot of stuff to sort out financially. So that was all good.. Until yesterday, when he mentioned that he was going away for the weekend with his friends. Last time he did that it cost him about £100 (coming to see me is £65). So instead of coming here and spending one last weekend with me before the little one arrives, or saving the money up, he's spending it on that. I'm seriously mad at him.. Do you think i'm overreacting? I feel kinda selfish.. But I don't know.. Grrrr!

Sorry, this seems like a stupid post, but I needed to vent.. Why do blokes have to be so bloody annoying Mad

I can see why you'd be upset and mad at him, if I were you I probably would be too....But think about this for a second: after the baby comes, he;s not going to be able to just go away on the weekend with his buddies..He'll have a huge responsibility taking care of you and the baby...So let him have his one last lil jaunt before the baby comes...Not to say he's not going to be allowed to go out ever...Its just all different after the baby comes...Does this make sense? I know what I want to say, but can't really word it...Lol

Wow girlie....I definately don't think you're overreacting. I think that's plain rotten. If you 2 agreed on saving up money instead of seeing each other often, then he's in the wrong to spend all that and not even visit you. Vent away zany, blow some steam!

i know what you mean.. But the thing is, even after the baby is born he won't be living with me for a while, so he'll still be able to go out with his friends.. I'll be the one who won't have a social life. He goes out all the time, but doesn't usually spend quite so much.. Although he smokes, which is a £5 a day habit he could do without.. And I dunno.. It just seems like this is taking the p*ss a lil bit.

Yeah I so would be pissed. If that was my bf, I would be thinking where are his priorities? Theres not much point in getting in a fight over it, bc it would be too stressfull, just let home know how you feel. You've got a right to say how you think its unfair.

I would throw a huge fit if .Chris did something like that.
I.. *guilty face* .I get mad at him when he goes to visit his mom.
Which is, in total, about $100 in gas round trip..
I understand that he just formed a relationship with her
after not seeing or hearing from her for 11 years..
But then on the other hand, she did horrible things to him,
&he's running out of town to see her every single week.

Zanny, .I don't think you're overreacting at all.
Boys are idiots, &they just don't know how to think
sometimes. Well, most times.

I don't think they understand that babies
.C.O.S.T. M.O.N.E.Y...... Lol.

Ay yi yi.

I told him how I felt.. And I wasn't nice about it. Hehe. He still went out, but managed to cut his spending down and it only cost him about £20, so it wasn't that bad. I've forgiven him.. He's arranged to come and see me in about 3 or 4 weeks, and it'll be cheap because his friend is driving him here. I'm happy now Mr. Green

aww....Your not overreacting, youor just feeling emotional, because you'll miss him. I know how you feel, nowadays I only get to see my boyfriend once a month, and after this month I wont see him till new years, maybe or ill have to wait till my birthday in february. But you have everyright to feel that way.
