I don't want to make him mad, but...

[mynameisX]

So today, right now, I'm supposed to be at my school's formal dance. About an hour ago, I was all dressed and ready to go, waiting for my boyfriend to get here so we could go to the dinner that was being held before the dance. I get a call from my boyfriend, however, saying that not only is he going to be late, he hasn't left his house yet. He lives about two and a half hour away from where I'm going to school. So now I'm stuck here waiting for him to get here, and by the time he gets here and we get to the place where the formal is being held, it's going to be close to nine thirty. The formal ends at eleven thirty. The reason he's late is because he had to change the headlight on his car because it went out a few days ago. My question: How do I tell him I'm pissed he didn't change the headlight sooner without hurting him? Is there a way? Because I'm not pissed, I'm just really disappointed. I'm sorry this is so long, but thoughts and ideas would be great, I still have an hour and a half to kill.....

Just be like, yeah, it really wasn't cool, and maybe you'll be more prepared in the future. :shrug:

Haha, thanks. I read through that and realized I sound kind of ridiculous.

[bung]

tl/dr

[billyboatkid]

Pop him right in the jowls and say "don't fuck up again."

[more heart]

first, make sure he didn't change it sooner for good reason. maybe he had to do something else that was extremely important

Yeah, I was looking for a nonconfrontational way to approach him. I really just want to deck him because we've been planning this for about a month.

tl/dr

Yeah, I figured it might be

[raychull]

nah. I mean, I'm the same way. I'd be pretty annoyed too. Just bring it up in a calm manner.

[mynameisX]

I'm glad I've got a few hours to work through this, if I didn't, I'd probably say or do something stupid.

[m_rue]

Just tell him that. Don't ignore it and take your frustration out on him in other ways cause it will just ruin the rest of the night.

[raychull]

haha, true that. that's one good thing!

[brandnew=love]

Get a baseball bat, break the headlight, and tell him to fix it...

[brandnew=love]

But in all honestly, I'd say to wait til the dance is over and just talk to him and tell him how it made you feel... like if you did it before the dance, it might ruin the night... just have fun cause the dances don't come around too often.

Lol, actually, there's one in the Spring too, but yeah. I'll probably wait until after the dance to talk to him.

[brandnew=love]

lol, I won't be on for too long... but I'm invisible if you want to hit me up. ;-)

Whoops! But still, you don't want to ruin the night cause of a stupid argument...

Very true.

Actually, I'm wondering if two hours is really worth it and if we shouldn't just go do something else and wait for the Spring one....

[brandnew=love]

Good point. What else is there to do?

[mynameisX]

I don't know, maybe go get dinner since we're all dressed up and neither of us have eaten? Something like that.

[brandnew=love]

That'd be really fun... but if you're going to do that, why not just go spend the two hours at the dance, then go eat... it'd be better than no dance, and you two would spend more time with eachother.

Also a viable option.....I like that one...

glad you liked it! :biggrin: I just hope he's up for that... :-/


but then again his opinion doesn't matter since he pulled that 'fix my headlight at the last minute' stunt.

Lol, I'll tell him you said that!

[brandnew=love]

Lol, I'll tell him you said that!
Lol, you should... it's the truth. :shrug: How long have you two been together?

[robat19]

you could make up with anal

That's like giving your dog a treat for peeing on the carpet.

Right on, thanks!

Lol, no prob! I thought it was like the best episode of the season... just this season was kinda ehh...

[4N6 science]

Sorry to hear that Kim. If you approach him about the situation he'll most likely get really defensive about it...so in the end it's disappointing and he knows that.

[kaycey]

i think you shouldn't allow him near your headlights for the next 1 month as punishment.
lol, j/k.

[jagermeister]

Shit happens and life and the world don't revolve around what is best for you. Stop sounding so whiny and just accept it happened and get over it.

[Anthony Lutz]

Lol, no prob! I thought it was like the best episode of the season... just this season was kinda ehh...

Yeah, I thought the exact same thing.

[Fallinto_rhythm]

I would have told him to not even bother coming.

[mynameisX]

Lol, you should... it's the truth. :shrug: How long have you two been together?

It's about 5 and a half months.

you could make up with anal

I'm surprised it took this long for anal to come up....

I would have told him to not even bother coming.

I almost did, but I'm glad I didn't. The first words he said after saying hi was that he was sorry. And we had a good time.

That's cute! So where did you two end up going?

You didn't give it to me in time!!!

We went to the dance and then to McDonalds and then Walmart, just because. We ended up sleeping in his car, actually, because my roommate decided it wasn't cool for him to sleep here...

Tell him you have a headache. Don't shave. Put false teeth in your vagina.

Yeah, it was pretty good. Turkey.

No cranberry sauce with that turkey, no care.

I'm too late I know.. I was going to say wait until he shows up and see if he apologizes profusely. If he admits that he's uber late for now good reason, then fine, you can't be mad, especially if he's being cute about it. But if not, then I'd be pissed at him, cuz you know the headlight thing is kind of ridiculus. If it's important, you can definitely drive for 2 hours with one headlight. I see people do it all the time! If his other headlight blew out on the way down and he had to pull over and change one using the spare headlight he had in the trunk -- THEN that's a good excuse!
Anyway, like i said, it's too late.
Glad you had a good time; you're much more mature than I am...

I have all the time in the world when I'm at school. Therefore i need something to keep me occupied.

[acfrue]

the PL forum is the perfect place for that too

[mynameisX]

So read the post? That occupies you.......I'm genuinely confused by this, I'm not even trying to be argumentative.

[DaveZeroZero]

So, Kim, what'd you do?

[mynameisX]

So, Kim, what'd you do?

Well, he apologized before I got a chance to get angry, so I just told him it bugged me, and he said he was busy with finals and he just kept forgetting. And he was extra sweet the entire evening.
