+1 And why aren't YOU helping him?!?! If you were moving into a new apartment wouldn't you want (expect) him to help you? |
Well that's good. And drop the brunch thing- poor guy never should've had to go to anyway! |
This. |
Yes, it would be wrong. Moving is very difficult and can be time-consuming, too. He has a lot on in plate. And his parents have graciously offered to help, so your BF is doing the gracious, appropriate thing by working around their availability and accommodating the schedule that works best for them. You are being self-centered in this instance, and your BF is not. Sorry. |
She can't help because she is going to brunch with her friends. Seems like he should be the one who is mad, no? |
That's nice, but surely you've moved before and understand that it usually is not a one day thing. His parent offered to help on Saturday, so he accepted and started his move early. This isn't just a random excuse, but a pretty normal one. I agree that you're behavior is more irksome than his. Why don't you offer to cancel brunch with your friends and come the day early to help with the move. I know that it's starting a day early, but it's probably because his parents are available Saturday but not Sunday. So be a good sport and cancel random brunch date to help with a move. At least offer. He might not need the help and will tell you to go ahead and have brunch with friends, but you should at least offer. |
| You probably should have never scheduled it to begin with. Moving weekends suck. No way should he demand that his parents bend to his schedule to help him move so he can go to brunch |
| Spin-off. My girlfriend scheduled a brunch with me and her friends in the middle of my move. That seems really inconsiderate and self centered. Should I be annoyed at this? |
When you're moving you take the help you can get when you get it! Yes, you're wrong. It's brunch, not a big deal at all. |
| Wouldn't be mad. Why would you make him join a bunch of girls for brunch? |
| No, I wouldn't be angry at all - you have to jump at any help you're offered. |
| OP, prepare for another ten pages of beatings... |
Depends. Need pics of gf to decide |
| I can't believe you expected him to have lunch with your gf's the weekend he's moving. |
| I thought you were going to say that he just didn't show up. This is totally reasonable and I agree with all the PPs that I now think the bf should be annoyed about this being planned and an issue at all. |
