As soon as we were done he checked his phone and his boss (who he is friends with, in addition to working together) had texted to see if he wanted to go to a bar and watch a game.
Already I am kind of annoyed because I feel like you just made plans with me but you got a better offer so as soon as I had sex with you, you bailed. He's like, we would just have lunch together and spend the day doing stuff independently anyway, what's the big deal? So, I was kind of annoyed but he assured me we would hang out tonight. I wound up getting stuff done around my apt. and talking to a friend on the phone, which admittedly is what I would've done after lunch anyway.
I don't hear from him all afternoon so I text at 6:30ish to see if we're at least going to have dinner together. I hear back over an hour later and he just says "Sorry, reading to Tom's kids." Wtf? I wound up just making dinner myself.
After some, I thought very rude texts from him, I said I would prefer to talk on the phone when he got home. He truly does not comprehend my thought process, which is a) you made plans with me this morning and canceled once you got sex and b) then made conciliatory plans with me that you clearly had no intention of keeping and c) due to both of us having intense jobs, we do not see each other during the week. I'm really annoyed he made plans with me and then I guess was playing babysitter for his boss, who he'll see all day tomorrow and every day this week and meanwhile I won't see him until Friday night.
He is of the opinion that "sometimes it's nice to spend time with guy friends" which I would normally be fine with except for the fact he canceled plans. If day drinking with his boss was the plan all along, I would be fine with it. I do things with friends on weekends too. It's not that he did something with a friend, it's that he canceled, made new plans, and then couldn't follow through on those either.
Am I massively overreacting?
You are overreacting. You aren't married nor do you live together so this controlling behavior is uncalled for.
