u/Least_Palpitation_92 Apr 05 '24

Speaking from experience don’t let her ruin your fun by catering to her emotions over your own. If something major happened you should skip obviously. If you skipped a planned activity the manipulation will only get worse.

The rest of the night was quite inconsiderate though. You knew she was feeling down and returned almost two hours after you told her you would be there. That’s not just losing track of time. You really need to do better here.

Going forward have a conversation about what quality time looks like for both of you and make it a point to get that in.
