its natural to feel a bit jealous about it and i can understand your friends or family saying "hey thats a bit weird" but they are partly just saying that to express support for you because they feel that thats what you are expecting them to say be honest with her (thats good investment for the long term) but make it 100% clear that you are totally cool with her doing the family thing one thing to remember is there are sometimes other pressures going on that you dont know about eg maybe her parents expect her to be there to see her sister etc etc....that may not be so in this case but just as a general rule its always wise to remember there may be another side to the story glgl!! | ||

He was saying that it would be pointless to be mad at something like this because it would open the door for everything else to make you mad, too. If you can't tell that his post is saying "no, I wouldn't be pissed off, and I don't think anybody should ever be pissed off," then you don't have any right to be yelling at people to read better. It's ironic how the one who says everybody is making assumptions is the one making assumptions in the first place. Not everybody is accusing you of something. In any case, I would have to say no. There's really no point in getting mad at something like this. It might be disappointing, but most people would probably agree that they could manage. | ||

There's really no point in getting mad at something like this. It might be disappointing, but most people would probably agree that they could manage. Your evaluation essentially ignores the first two lines of his post and, thus, the context of it. Had he started at 'month or not..' I'd actually agree with you. Instead he's insinuating I was mad at her about this, when this is actually a few days ago now, and the issue is dead as far as she and I are concerned. It was nothing but a mild annoyance I felt which I immediately got over. My post was made purely because of the reaction my fam/friends showed to me, and a curiosity for others' opinions. This has been made clear a few times now. Thus any attempt to treat me like someone who is angry, over-reacting, etc is completely useless to me and not worth my time reading. | ||

How is she going to feel when she gets home, wants to share her experience and photos, and your girlfriend has to leave to be with you? Need to start thinking beyond the immediate impact. I appreciate that. My annoyance was transitory, and completely in my own head. The second I stopped to think about the issue, when I was playing FFVI the next day I think, I was pretty much over it. I never made an issue out of it because even my initial adverse reaction was minor (i.e. a thought). I have no siblings, which probably contributed to my initial thought. | ||

It sounds like she thought the weekend away was the anniversary thing and thought the night of the actual day was free. If it bothers you that much just casually mention that you had some special plans. If she doens't react, just tell her to have fun with her sister and leave it. No we didn't. And she probably did put the weekend into her consideration. It's not a big deal; I didn't bring it up with her, and don't intend to. | ||

That being said, if it irks you even in the slightest, make sure that you talk to her about it and make it clear that, while you don't mind that she's doing it, you'd appreciate it if she brought something like that to you before making her decision next time. Best of luck to both of you. | ||
