Today, my boyfriend tried to be romantic and trick me into missing my flight, so he could spend another day with me before I have to return to Asia for work. There is nothing romantic about spending 2 hours trying to sort out a new international itinerary with Delta's automated menus. FML
ak47nd tells us more.
Hi, this is OP. To be fair, he did fly me out to visit him and put a real effort into making the week we had together great. That said, after I did manage to fix the flight back, I think he was scared I was going to kick him in the balls for that stunt for most of the extra 24 hours we had together. But the makeup sex was great and I barely managed to make it back in time for work obligations, so bf is EXTREMELY lucky :) And we have a new relationship rule of not ******* with travel arrangements. Sigh.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

I'm reading these comments, and really can't understand the support the boyfriend is getting. He deliberately made her miss her flights, and it caused a giant mess. Keep in mind that she was flying for work, and her company might not be so happy as these commenters if she had missed an important meeting or conference. The "thought" doesn't count when a selfish person inconveniences you to fulfill a personal desire.

Why didn't he just fly back with her as a surprise.....makes too much sense.

That would be inconvenient for him. Of course it wouldn't work.

This would have been perfectly fine if he had made sure that OP had another flight out the next day and made sure there were no important meetings. But to make this mess and hen not clean it up? Jeez

Unless she wanted time to settle in to her lodging ON ANOTHER CONTINENT before she went to her important meetings.

I agree with 62. Even if he had gotten another flight and made sure she didn't have important meetings, I still don't think it's ok. She made those travel plans for a reason. I'm sure she knew she could've gotten a flight a day later, but she chose that day for a reason. And I know for me personally that I find flying very exhausting and usually need the rest of the day to relax and or sleep and get my body sorted out. I can imagine, since she's going to a different continent and with the crazy long flight and jet lag, that she would probably want time to rest and sleep and relax before diving into work too.

The romantic thing to do is fly out to Asia and suprise you. The selfish and controlling thing to do is to trick you into missing your flight. Guess it's easier to jeopardise your job than actually get off his arse and physically make an effort to get what he wants.

There's nothing romantic about sabotaging you and undermining your decisions. That's a fairly large relationship red flag...

My thoughts exactly. This is classic abusive behavior--sabotaging your partner's job so they'll have to be dependent on you.

Hate to say it OP but your boyfriend seems to be exhibiting some manipulative tendencies. Tell him to straighten his shit up now because he just made his farewell very painful now.

Yeah, my iPod's keyboard does that thing too, sometimes. You know, the thing where it randomly puts "a" behind words

Sounds less like romantic, and more like controlling! But that's fine, he'll be able to be as romantic as he likes once he is spending 24/7 with you after he causes you to lose your job by pulling this kind of crap.
