It's this line from the OP:

that makes me think, "that's not how this works. That's not how any of this works."

There's nothing wrong with wanting to see your SO on your day off, but there is a problem with springing it on him at the last minute and telling, not asking, him about your intentions. If you want to see him, you need to let him know what your schedule is and let him be in on the planning process.

Get some friends and get a life. If he doesn't want to see you, there is a huge message there. Accept it. No more demands, no more texting constantly. If he wants to see you, he will get in touch.

Sounds a little controlling. You should back off your BF for a while.

Honestly, I think no one should always expect to see someone on the same schedule constantly when dating. This time of year is crazy. Maybe the guy had a busy week and just wanted some alone time. Maybe he wanted some friend time without her. I mean judging from her post she is needy and overly clingy. I mean she wants to go to his house to study just to be with him but " won't bug him". Annoyed he went xmas shopping without her. I'm sorry but it's too much. Why everyone is over analyzing this I don't get, so they haven't seen each other for a week, big deal. It's a busy time. People get busy and tired. But if I was this persons boyfriend, I would be running for the hills.

He said he's going to be Christmas Shopping and then meeting up with his friend to have lunch.....then said he's gonna go home to work on his house and then probably do some more Christmas Shopping. My problem is, he can't find time for me at all today? I like Christmas Shopping too and need to finish, why won't he invite me to go.....I know he's not buying a gift for me, he already has my gift.

I'm annoyed, I haven't seen him all week. I want to tell him I'm annoyed but I don't want to start a fight. I don't see why I can't go over there.....its not like I'd be bothering him...... I have homework to do, I can do it while he works on the house. He said maybe tomorrow. I don't like the word maybe.
You are smoother him lol.
Also maybe you should have tried to make plans ahead of time and have waited till last minute.

Plus maybe he is going to be buying your gift !!!!

Shopping with other people especially this time of your os not really efficient and can be stressful. Why dont you got buy yourself and enjoy some time alone and give him some time to pick your gift .

Maybe it's time for a new BF?
I'm sure she will make the time if she does or doesn't have it.

Totally agree; to me it is akin to being kidnapped. When I go shopping I know exactly what I'm looking for, if I find it..great, if not I move on very quickly.

Totally agree. I hate shopping and bringing someone along just adds to my misery.

It's not too much to want to meet up with him, but to get beside one's self because she isn't meeting up with him is a problem. We, as busy/working people, only have a limited amount of free time and your S/O can't monopolize all of it... that's absurd. Some people like a good codependent relationship but that usually only works out when both parties are of the same disposition.
