Years ago i had this issue with a woman i was dating for several years. I was working and going to grad school at the time, and she couldn't accept the fact that i could actually be tired and not want to meet her after she got off work.So basically a girl I'm dating seriously wanted me to meet her today when she finishes at work, dine together then bang at her place where we will sleep.
Tomorrow morning she will get up early to get back to work and I have to leave her place to get back to mine...but again she wants to meet again tomorrow too same time, have dinner out then get to my place.
Keep in mind that our places are far about 2 hours to each other and require public transports since the traffic and the parking are unreal.
I told her that I have stuff to do and she can have me either today or friday but not both, I even suggested that we could meet today but tomorrow I wont go to the center but she will come to me either via train or taxi.
Then after some "your choice" and "do what you want" she moved to the silent treatment.
So my plan is just let it go today then get back at her tomorrow so I can skip the two days in a row and proceed as one of the options I gave her.
Anything I'm missing in this mess? Im not used to relationships, have been more of a f-buddy time most my life.
One week in particular.. i told her i was not going to be able to make some Friday night party that she wanted me to go to. She got super mad and pissy..and damn near begged me to go because all her friends were going to be there.
I made up my mind, decided not to go but took a nap and started feeling better and showed up late to the party. She was so happy to see me because she really thought i wasn't going to show. Instead of overpromising and under-delivering i flat out told her no but showed up when i had enough energy. I can't say that's always the way to go, but NO is powerful. You can always show up later if you feel like it, which that particular night i did feel like it eventually.
