I need boyfriend advice...badly. ?

My boyfriend and i were at a party the other day, and he got a phone call from one of his friends asking if they could 'hang' out new years eve.....the day we were supposed to spend together, with my family! I love him dearly, and i love his family too. We've been together for awhile now, and it keeps getting better. We do have our times, but we work it out and we love eachother. (NO COMMENTS.)

ANYWAYS....back to the situation.

I told him that he could go with his friend instead of spending the day with me....he loves spending time with me, and always passes up his friends....so he hung up with his friend after saying yes. Then...here comes the bad part...I started crying, because we had planned the day for a very long time, and i couldnt wait for new years eve to come.... So....he got mad at me, and called his friend back and canceled...i love him so much, and i want him to be able to trust me when i tell him things like this.....what should i do?????

Update:

Ummm.....well see i'm not allowed to hang out with his friends...because of my boyfriend. He's keeping me away from them so that i dont get into trouble. He won't let me near his friends, and he would just about kill his friends if they ever touched me. ---Which they have a record of trying when they 'hang' out....

    Probably the worst thing you can do now is go back to him by telling him he must go with his friend and that is 'truly okay'. Accept that he has canceled with his friend and move on from that.

    There are two points I will make here first do not say something you do not mean. In this case you said to him he could go with his friend but then you broke down crying about it. This type of behavior will create allot of confusion and misunderstanding if you relationship. Therefore it is important to say what you mean.

    Second issue if the two of you have been planning this day and your relationship has been building up to it then he should have know how important this day is to you. Maybe it was not as important to him as it is to you. If that is the case then you may need to re-examine your relationship with him.

    Finally it is important to realize that if your relationship is heading towards marriage then he will be spending more time with you than his friends. It is is something you will have to accept and if it becomes a source of conflict then the two of you will need to work it through. If you do not see the relationship heading towards marriage then you may need to also examine how much demand you are putting on his time versus his friends. Meaning you may need to give him more space.

    My advice on what to do is this first accept he has canceled. with his friend and let it go. Second work stopping the yes you can go but then change your mind. You need to be confident in what you tell him and then being willing to stand by what you say regardless of how you feel. Simply put think through what you are going to say before you speak. Third take time to examine your relationship and where it is going. Based on where it is going make the necessary corrections. Finally keep communicating with him and do not let issues get in the way.

    Tell him your sorry and to go out with his friends. Next time, try to just hold in your tears and cry in the bathroom later. He's a guy and doesn't get that you may just need to cry sometimes and it's not because you're really sad or mad, just because. Explain to him that you were maybe on your "time of the month" and feeling really sensitive but you want him to hang out with his friends and have a good time. He should understand if he truly loves you.

    You shouldn't have changed your mind and let him do what he really wanted if you "LOVE" him. You shouldn't have started crying because he needs to have time with his friends too. Try not to hog him or else he'll get mad at u like what just happened.

    If it ment that much to you, you shouldnt have said yes. He proably was more upset because you got upset even though you said yes. If you would have just said "what about our plans" it might not have been a big deal. But i can understand why you wanted to let him spend time with his friends too..

    Get to know these "friends", they may be really great people. This way you can hang out together. If you bond fast you can invite them along

    OR

    Tell him how much you looked forward to this day and hope he understands. There is always Valentine's Day!!!!! :)

    Lol, thank you for that. you have difficulty merchandising him as there's a glut of those on the industry on the 2nd. you ought to attempt including somewhat grubby photograph of a few b*mbo as an incentive. good luck
