Yeah, he's so selfish for wanting to spend time with his girlfriend before traveling.

It is selfish when he fucked up her flights

If tricking someone you care about into doing something they didn't intend to do just because you want them to yourself is your idea of unselfish, then I'm worried for you.

Nobody could detect the obvious sarcarsm on my previous comment? *sigh*

Either you need to re-learn how to do sarcasm or you're misinterpreting the people disagreeing with you somehow.

I think the problem is everybody DID detect the sarcasm...

#14- Damn it. I misread the FML, I thought the boyfriend was traveling and wanted her to spend more time with him. Yep, that's selfish. Sorry.

You didn't misread it. Please just man up and accept the hate for your comment.

54- I was expecting this kind of comment. I did misread it, I skipped several phrases and thought the boyfriend wanted OP to be with him before his flight, and OP got bored. I already accepted the hate though, my first comment was dumb and deserved it.

#54 if you read his first comment, and how it was worded "he wanted to spend time with his girlfriend before traveling" that sentence construct "Person A wanted to X before travelling" is only used when person A is doing the travelling, ie unless the comment was edited, it was based on that mis-read. There are enough people here who actually are trying to excuse it.

That doesn't give him the right to mess with her job. She needed to fly back for work, and making her miss her flight could have possibly cost her her job. I don't care if they were fucking married, it's a selfish thing to do

And it leaves people in a sour mood. Just give a sweet goodbye, and leave it at that.

He could have just flown out with her as opposed to fucking up everything.

Except there was no thought involved since he didn't even consider what a pain in the ass it would cause. The only thing he thought about was what he wanted.

That's just what I was thinking as I read this. While his intentions may have been romantic in nature the reality was far from it. Seems like he didn't stop to consider all the possible implications.

Well there's your clear answer right there, that's the reason they get downvoted- they say basically the same thing. We like originality here, or at least no repetition.

Also that's really not what bipolar means. The word you're looking for is "inconsistent."

It's the thought that counts... And he didn't put much thought into it. He put her into a stressful situation, potentially making her look irresponsible at work, and costing her a lot of time, stress and maybe money. If he wanted to be romantic, he should have put some effort into it before. Maybe taken her to a nice restaurant or bed and breakfast a night or two before the flight.

The only thought he was putting into this was thinking his selfish wants were more important than her job or plans. Super manipulative. I would dump him if I were OP.
