21/f This week I got my blood taken because I'm feeling sick and may have mono. My appointment was at 7am. My boyfriend (of one year) knows I was freaking out about it, and said he would come with me for support. I was so happy for the support, but felt bad that the appointment was so early so I told him he didn't have to to go because of the unnecessary early time. I guess I was expecting him to say time wouldn't be an issue, as I would have done for him any day; instead he took me up on my offer. I didn't express my disappointment because I offered to opt him out of it, but I still feel upset with him about it. Am I right to feel this way? Or am I over reacting? Thanks. (link)

The fact of the matter is that you're a woman. This is what women do. I'm the same age as you. I've told my boyfriend that he didn't have to do something, (even though I wanted him to) and when he would accept my offer, I would feel let down.
Men don't understand that more than half the time, a woman will not tell them what they really want from them. We want them to figure it out for themselves. And when they do figure it out, that'll prove that they really love us.
Lets get a few facts straight here: A) It WAS a very early appointment. 7am is a ridiculous hour and I'm fortunate to not have to wake up that early. No one likes to wake up that early. B) Mono is easily treated and is not a life or death issue. I promise you, if it was something more serious, he would be there. C) He offered to come. Even if you told him he didn't have to, he offered before you even asked him. Your health is on his mind and if he knew you really wanted him there, he would have come.
Even if he wasn't there for the appointment, I'm sure he'll be by your side during your recovery. Just because he can't read your mind doesn't mean you should be upset. So, to answer your question, yes. You're overreacting. But that is completely normal. And this was not that big of a deal. Next time, just be honest and say something like "I would really appreciate it if you were there, but if there is some conflicting matter that would keep you from coming, I understand" I don't know, something along those lines.
I hope I helped! And try not to be too hard on him. He's a boy, after all :)

Reading your response has seriously opened my eyes, you're so right I really believe there's such thing as "boy brain" but we love our men regardless :-) . Thank you for taking the time to respond! I appreciate it!
