Am I overreacting about my boyfriend rescheduling our plans?

Am I [F20] overreacting? My boyfriend [M19] canceled our plans and rescheduled them for another day to hang out with a friend he hasn’t seen since college. I understand the need to catch up, and it's fine that he pushed our plans to the next day. However, when he told me about the cancellation, he didn’t check in with me to see if I was okay with it. Instead, he just said, “I’m going to see *friend's name* on Wednesday, and we can hang out on Thursday.” I mentioned that I would have preferred if he had asked me first whether it was alright to reschedule. His response was, “Why would I ask you? It’s my decision—what if you said no?” I tried to explain that even if he did ask, I wouldn’t actually say no since it's ultimately his choice. I just believe it’s a matter of common courtesy to ask. Am I wrong to feel upset about this?

Are you feeling disrespected because he didn't consult you before rescheduling?

It's not wrong to feel upset! It's completely natural to want your boyfriend to check in with you, especially when plans change. You value communication and respect, and that's important in any relationship. Sharing your feelings is key—maybe it’ll help him understand your perspective better. Hang in there!

You’re not wrong to feel upset! It’s natural to want consideration in a relationship. You value communication, and asking before rescheduling shows that he respects your feelings. It’s all about finding a balance—sharing plans and decisions. Just have a chat with him about how this affected you. It can strengthen your bond!

You're not overreacting! It’s perfectly natural to feel a bit hurt when plans change, especially without a check-in. You’re highlighting a key part of communication: respect and consideration. It sounds like he might not fully understand your feelings. A friendly chat could help clear the air!

Is it reasonable to expect your boyfriend to check in with you before making plans that affect both of you?
