Morai Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Little background. My boyfriend and I have been together for two and a half years. In this time I've only been able to see him once and that's because I went to see him. He's TRIED to come seeme twice but things face always come up. First time it was his job the his sisters divorce. He planned to come see me for my spring break in a little under two months. He put the vacation request in over six weeks ago and ont yesterday did they tell him there was a problem. He's a high level manager and one of the other managers wants to go to Disney World at the same time. So now one has to cancel their vacation or cut it in half. Being the nice person he is he wants to cancel his request meaning it would be the third time he's not been able to come here. I'm obviously devastated. For six weeks I've been looking forward to and planning the best visit. His birthday falls within my break and this time would be the first time either of us would be together for a birthday. The soonest I would be able to see him after this would be in july another six months away meaning I will have gone 9 months without seeing him again. I'm really at a loss to what to do. While I don't want to cut some kids trip to disney in half I also don't want to be put on the back burner again and wait AGAIN to see him. Bratty little kids get to see there dad everyday, and I've barely been able to talk to my boyfriend for an hour a week because of his stupid job. Advice? Opinions? Ways to keep my sanity?

Cut some kids trip to Disneyland in half. I'm a big believer is saying what you feel. And honestly, Morai, it's served me well. Let your boyfriend know your feelings; exactly what you've written here. Your desires aren't unreasonable. Unless it would cause some negative political fallout at work, I don't know why he'd not act to make this happen. Edited February 3, 2012 by cerridwen Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Erased Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Why can't he just put off the trip until the other guy comes back? Link to post Share on other sites
Author Morai Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Thanks Cerri. I'll try and bring it up this weekend again. Why can't he just put off the trip until the other guy comes back? Because he would be coming during my Spring break. I'm still in school so my availability to see him is extremely limited. I was only able to go in October because I took a semester off school to do so. I have a few months in the summer, a month around new years and a week at the end of March, that's it. And it will be like this for the next SIX years until I finish graduate school. Hopefully by then though we'll have been able to work out the living arrangements and he'll be here permanently. Basically my options for seeing him because of this whole stupid mess is 5 days in March and I'll get to see him for his birthday or two-three weeks in the summer on our three year anniversary. If I see him in March it'll only be a week or so in the summer. So I see him twice and sooner or longer and I have to wait again. And lord only knows that something will probably come up then as well. Would be just my luck. Edited February 3, 2012 by Morai Link to post Share on other sites
