Guinevere04 Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 My boyfriend offered to keep my 3 year old son for me last night for my mom and I to go to a wake for a friend that had passed away. He has kept my son before for me to run to the store or get a haircut. He always would rather watch him than for me to ask someone else, I mean he insists! I talked to him at noon and told him that I was picking my mom up at 6, we had to drive 30 minutes, we wouldn't stay long and would be straight back. I told him that I would have them a pizza ready. In the meantime, my mom called and asked if I wanted to eat while we were out. I figured since we were 30 minutes from home, the boys were eating, we might as well eat. I called him back at 5 and told him that my mom wanted to eat and that I need to run to the grocery store to get 2 things for a recipe for work the next day. He went completely off on me!! He said that I never bothered to ask him if he had time for me to do those things because maybe he had other plans. Well he never has other plans, he lives 40 minutes away and when he is at my house, he is there to stay. I would have never dreamed that he would have cared if we ate while we were out or if I ran an errand, much less that I needed to call and have it approved. He threw such a fit I ended up not going to the wake and he left. I feel like he was trying to control me and he thinks that I was using him which is ridiculous because I have several other people that wouldnt have minded keeping my son but he always WANTS to. I called him this morning to tell him that I was sorry that I didn't "run it by him first" and he said that I was being smart and basically hung up on me. When have been together 16 months and he can be so moody. I just dont really feel like I was wrong here. It's not as big as he is making it. Could he be looking for an excuse to argue? We havent spoken since this morning and we usually talk 3 or 4 times a day.
Luvinit Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 He sounds like a "nice guy" that is feeling a little taken for granted. When you said: "Well he never has other plans, he lives 40 minutes away and when he is at my house, he is there to stay. I would have never dreamed that he would have cared if we ate while we were out or if I ran an errand, much less that I needed to call and have it approved." And reading what you typed above, makes me think he would be correct. Nothing against you personally, but that is how it looks to me.
