    so im angry and stuck on a bus. we r on our way home to visit our families, my parents r cooking a dinner at their house for everyone including his parents. as soon as we sit down he tells me he is going to get a drink w his friend after dinner tonight for about an hr. it takes 25 min to get to where his friendx lives. am i crazy for being angry? its christmas eve and he should be spending time w me tonight not peacing out for two hours to see a friend. im livid and i cant discuss w him bc we r on a crowded bus

    How long are you going to be back home?  I understand that you want him with you but he probably is just thinking about practicality that he doesn't get to see his friend much and this is a good opportunity.  He is spending tomorrow with you and the families tomorrow correct?

    If you are going to meet his GF, why can't all four of you go out together?

    Yeah that sort of sucks.  I know it's tough but I would try not to be mad at him.  I know you love spending time with your family but he might not.  He will still be with them tomorrow on Christmas.

    I'm sure he will love your family eventually!  It just takes time.

    Try not to be upset. He just wants to see a friend for a few hours and then he'll be back to spend time with you and your family.

    I know it is easier said than done but do try not to be mad. Let him have his night, you get him the rest of the trip. Sometimes my bf does something that makes me unreasonably angry, like I know I shouldn't be mad about it but I am, so I know where you're coming from. However, if your bf goes off to his friends house every night rather than spending it with you and your family, you have a right to be angry. Maybe just talk to him and make sure he knows that you expect him to be with you on the holidays and that it may not be a big deal for him but it is for you.

    Don't get upset on Christmas Eve.  It's his Christmas too.  At least you'll get to spend all day with him tomorrow and every other day.  Don't let it spoil it for you :)

    Have a really happy one.  *lots of hugs*

    Am I the only one who saw "his new GF" and got a bit confused?  I thought perhaps I was reading about the first polyamorist I've ever seen on the bee. Heh.  

    Merry Christmas everyone.

    I'm really really sorry you felt so horrible. If it helps you at all, my bf left me for 10 hours today to be with his family while I am sick from this unplanned pregnancy and so weak I'm barely able to stand.

    I can't (choose not to) be around his mom because she has been physically as well as verbally aggressive, even to the point of grabbing my hair and pulling my head back to whisper threateningly in my ear.

    I totally understand wanting your guy with you.

    Just make sure to have fun while you wait and when he gets back. Even on a selfish note, it's not any fun to feel angry and bitter. Perhaps the bus ride made you extra cranky. ;)

     Good luck.
