Is it weird that my boyfriend doesn’t want to meet me at the airport?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend normally greets ne when I arrive at the airport but he said he’ll just meet me at my place this time. For some reason, I felt annoyed about this. It’s probably irrational but I felt like he is being lazy and isn’t that excited to see me. Am I being irrational? When he meets me we only get a taxi home anyway so it’s not like I rely on him for transport. I just think it’s nice to meet one’s partner at the airport. If it was a London airport I’d understand since they’re notoriously hard to get to but my home airport is half an hour from where I live so... advice please! Deep down I know it’s fine and the fact that he wants to meet me at mine shows his love to me... but it doesn’t feel as special :/

I think it could be that he believes that you're mature and wouldn't consider it as an issue. Maybe he's testing the relationship to see how you would handle the situation, which doesn't mean he doesn't want you to show concern, he absolutely does but how you show concern is what matters. Do you take the positive route or negative. For example, the positive route is men always want to feel needed, fact is us men have huge egos. We try to control it but that doesn't mean we don't want our ego to be stroked from time to time. So the positive route to engage would be I was very worried coming alone from the airport, I kept wanting to be with you all the way. Negative approach would be: Why didn't you show up do you not care about me? Red flag is when you take the positive approach and he instead of showing care he just doesn't bother to talk about. Which could mean either of the two things, he's either depressed and demotivated due to something or he is confused about the relationship or lastly, he just doesn't care about the relationship anymore.

Na it's not I have been "taxi driver" for people comming/going to the airport. If you are going to take a cab anyway there is no reason for him to come and meet you. Although I understand that it's nice to see someone waiting for you.

Not weird. He may be tired or a bit tight on money.

Probably, after a few times he decided it's not worth the extra money and hassle.

Likely he still loves you just as much. It's possible you're just now leaving the honeymoon phase of the relationship.

Men suffer, women suffer. You want equality - make men feel fluffy and desired and provided for.
