Today, it was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend. We had dinner reservations to an expensive restaurant and planned to see a movie after. At least, we did, until he called to tell me he'd volunteered to work tonight. He won't get off until 2am. FML

Take another guy to the expensive restaurant and you'll get off way before 2 am. Several times, if you are lucky! ;)

I sort of get why you're upset but it's honestly not a big deal. Just go out with him the next day... You shouldn't get all pissy for doing the exact same thing another day.. just because it's not that exact day.

Seriously? -_- It's not the fact she didn't get to go on that day, it's that her boyfriend promised to take her to dinner, yet he volunteered to work that night, even though he knew he had plans. Have I gotta explain this to everybody that's calling her selfish and 'shallow'? :S

I figure that you should spend time with the people you love while you can. You can't be sure that there will be a tomorrow. How would he feel if it turned out tha tonite was his last chance to see her alive.

You should be happy. He's trying to make some extra money. You can go out to dinner any night. Stop being so selfish and illogical.

#118, You sound like a real winner. Some women are always looking for revenge or anything they can use to get their own way. I bet you withhold sex too.

Jesus H Tapdancing christ! OP, are you that f-ing shallow! He's is probably working so much to either: A. Avoid having to spend time with your sorry, yet whiny, arse. B. Working to keep you materialistic Paris Hilton wannabe ass happy! Either way, you are still a whiner.
