  • Then why mention it? (long, stupid, rant)

    Ok, I realize the following may sound very materialistic....this just has me scratching me head...

    The boy and I have been dating for 3 years, and this weekend was out anni. We had planned to go to the same place we went last year, and I was looking forward to it.

    Well, this week the allergies have fir me full force, and Friday (the night we were going to go out) I was ill, but still game.

    at 430 I txt'd him to see if he had made reservations, he hadn't. He asked it I was still up for it,and I said I was, but plan B might be a good idea. He asked what was Plan B....okay, I'll think of something. Also realized if we didn't we didn't have res by now, we weren't going. Fine, I was actually rather cool with staying in.

    The night was fun, he surprised me with a lovely mountain necklace HE was very sweet and got me some allergy meds.

    Today at lunch, he randomly mentioned that dinner was going to be my "other" gift, and oh well. I asked if he still wanted to go out, and he shruged and grunted. I asked if he rather do something else, and he said, "why?" I said that he brought it up. "Oh, I just said it." Oookaay.....I am fine with what we did, but why even mentioned it?

    This isn't the first time....he has done this a few times before, he'll say I *was* gonna do thing, get this for you, but I didn't. Then why mention it??

    Ugh...I don't get it, haha.

    I feel you.

    I get regaled with all the things my husband *WAS* going to do for my bday/mothers day/christmas after the holidays but didnt get to happen.

    Maybe he just wanted you to know that it was in his plans, but just didnt get a chance to happen. Maybe to just let you know he was thinking of you. IDK.

    Guys are weird. Glad Im not one.

        I don't think wanting to go out to have a nice dinner is a bad thing, or even a materialistic thing.

          It sounds to me like he wants to make sure that you know he was thinking about you and that while whatever it was didn't happen, he was still trying to make it happen.

          Just a hint of insecurity. As long as things normally get done, and it's only once in a while that plans don't go through.

          I'd suggest any time that comes up, you just thank him for thinking of you and let it go.
