I've been dating someone for the past 6-7 months, and there is a certain behavior he exhibits that I'm not sure if I'm just overreacting, or if it is in fact rude and inconsiderate like I feel it is. I've been working on my reaction to things and focusing on my own behavior, so with this topic I'd like some outside input. Overall our dating eachother has been pleasant. We laugh together, have fun together, attracted to eachother, etc. However, I feel that he can be very inconsiderate. For example: He will say he's going to come over, call me, or make some other type of plan with me, and then either be extremely late - or blow me off completely, or reach out to me when I'm busy doing something else. It makes me feel like he isn't respectful or considerate of my time and schedule. If I make a committment to do something with someone, I stick to it, and if for some reason I can't make the committment, I communicate in advance that I will either be late or I need to reschedule. But I don't allow people that I care about to think I'm showing up at 5:00 and then show up at 10:00 instead, with no explanation. I just think that's rude and inconsiderate. Am I overreacting here? So far there haven't been any really good reasons that would justify his actions. If something urgent came up, I would understand, but most of the time it's just "oh sorry, I lost track of time" or "oh sorry, I fell asleep" -- it may seem small in the grand scheme of things but ultimately it has made me feel very unimportant and on the back burner most of the time. I have communicated this to him, he listens and most of the time seems receptive and understanding. But then he'll do it again. At this point I am very frustrated. I have kept every one of my committments to him, and being that I can only control my own behavior, I'm not sure how to react to this. Do I become just as "unavailable" as he is? Do I walk away? I'm not sure what to do here but it's bothering me. This morning we talked about it and he got angry and said that he's tired of hearing about it -- well, quite frankly, I'm tired of being on the receiving end of a flaky partner. He doesn't know how that feels because I don't treat him that way. Maybe I should. But then where does that get us? I don't know....I would be grateful for some input here. Hugs to all...
