AmeliePoulain Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) My boyfriend and I (Im 27, him 29) have been together for a year and will be going to another state in September for his grandmother's memorial. He is paying for my ticket. His family will be going so there will be quite a few people there. Im back in school again to obtain another degree and the semester ends a few days before the date of the memorial. I will most likely leave the night of my class which is three days before the date, but I told my boyfriend that Ill ask my professor just in case but it should be fine. His mom is leaving a couple weeks prior (theyll be busy with an estate sale and packing things.) Last night the mom brought up the trip and he said he can leave a little earlier and that I could fly up a few days later. This would be our first trip together, and both first trips with a significant other. I was annoyed a little that he didnt make it important for us to go up together as it's a 13 hour flight. His mom said that we should go together. The thing is, I know hes very logical and the trip is not a romantic vacation, but I thought he'd want to go up together regardless. Although im sure we will, it was just the idea that he could go up earlier that irritated me. I know he wants to bring his clubs to play some golf while he's there, but I could just be overthinking it. In any case, I wasn't upset, I just didnt say much when he dropped me home. He's very accomodating and sweet in other areas and we dont have any problems or arguments otherwise, so Im probably turning nothing into something. Another thing that he said last night that turned me off was when his uncle was joking and said, "I think your mother wants a grandchild" and my bf said, "well then (little sister) better get to it." I know none of us want kids anytime soon, let alone have discussed anything further other than lightly bringing up living together one day in the future, but the comment just kind of got to me. Anyway, these are not really big issues, but just want another way of thinking about it to not let it get to me. Edited July 5, 2013 by AmeliePoulain
