My Lazy Boyfriend

It is Saturday morning at 9:30 am.  My boyfriend and I just got up from a good night’s sleep, and today I have 2 things planned: 1) We are going to the Seattle Aquarium.  2)  I have a haircut appointment at 4:00. 

 I would like to go ahead and leave here very shortly for the aquarium because I don’t want us to feel rushed at the aquarium by my haircut appointment later in the day.  I told my boyfriend this, and he did the same thing he does every time I try to plan or schedule: He gets super defensive and tell me to stop controlling him!

I am not trying to control him! It’s rare that he and I actually do something together like to go an aquarium.  I am looking forward to it, but he thinks me trying to get him out the door at an early time is me being a “control freak!”

How am I supposed to plan life if he thinks that it’s controlling?  I know that my boyfriend isn’t all too excited to go to the aquarium, and he’s going for me more than anything.  But seriously, do we have to sit around here half the day before we can go?  He’s not doing anything right now!

I am so frustrated with him right now I could scream!

    I wish I had some awesome advice for you, but I don’t. My husband is a giant pain in my ass, but I love him, so I still keep him around. Men-can’t live with them, can’t sell them for gas money. :) Hopefully you’re at the aquarium now and all of this is behind you. Have a great day.

    Update!: We went to the aquarium, and had a great time. I think I’ll post pics! Oh and I love my new haircut!

    So Allison, you were totally right, we went and my frustration with my lazy boyfriend went away!

    I’m glad your day went well! Boys are weird,and should be dealt with as such. When my husband gets that way, I just ignore it. In his case, I think sometimes he’s trying to pick a fight, so that he can get out of whatever we’re about to do! He thinks he’s slick, so I just don’t bite! LOL
    It sounds like it all went well!
