My boyfriend cancelled plans with me to hang out with his friends?

My boyfriend cancelled plans with me to hang out with his friends. It doesn't happen too often but I have a busy schedule as well and I put time aside to see him so it frustrates me when he does this. Does this mean he doesn't really care about me? It wasn't entirely his fault, circumstances came up when he was out with his friends but I think he should have cut it short to keep his promise of seeing me. Is this fair?

Love how all the opinions are those of men. I don't know how long ago this was but listen, cancelling plans with anyone is rude. Wether that's your girlfriend, your mates, or his great bloody aunty you just don't do it. At the end of the day he took away from your time to spend Time with his mates, that screams they are more important than you! What so hard about organising to see them another day? NOTHING. I feel his behaviour was selfish and rude and here come all the boys saying 'he needs time with his mates'. There are seven days in the week lads and plans are plans. Commitments are commitments. NO excuses

No, you should understand he does have friends and he does have people that where in his life before you. (most likely) there fore its better to be an awesome girlfriend and let him have his fun. His friends crave for him too, just make sure he does spend time with you as well. otherwise things can end up being horrible for both.

he needs time with his friends to keep his personality/independance otherwise he will feel resentment and feel like he's glued to your hip.

Let him go see or hang out with friends, or he will become a caged lion looking for a way out.
As long as he is still romantic/says he loves you... it means he does.

No, I think you shouldn't let this sort of thing get to you. We know you have lives butttttt if you make a big deal out of this, you're not going to have a very good relationship
