Q:

I’ve been in what I thought was a great relationship for years. We are both older, raising three teenagers , and financially secure . For valentines day I planned a get a getaway ( close by ) with lodging , spa and dinner . I told my committed several weeks in advance that we had plans . The morning of v day I tell him we have plans and he’s mad! He wanted to work on His business taxes . He pouted all day , and we did not go after I paid close to $1,000 for the package . There was no point in going if he didn’t want to . What’s up!

A:

Sounds like the guy you’re with is a real douchebag! I’m sorry to put it that way but it sounds to me like you did everything right. I mean, you gave him advanced noticed and even paid for it yourself. What more could a guy ask for?

Let’s make one thing clear, I’m obviously just basing my opinion on the pure facts you provided me. There might be another side to the story. I mean, there MUST be another side to this story, right? Unless these taxes were absolutely due on Monday or his business was going to be out of business, I don’t get it. He’s a jerk!
