My ex boyfriend and I dated for almost 2 years, off and on, when he cheated on me back in March. I haven't talked to him since.
He's tried to call me and talk to me but I was too mad and hurt.
Well, on my birthday, he came to my house and gave me a 10 min. long apology. As my gift, he gave me 2 tickets to a concert (Dashboard Confessional--my FAVVV band) and asked me if I would go with him. I told him I'd think about it and call him.
When I got inside, I opened the envelope that the tickets were in and he had written me a note. It said how great I am and that I didn't deserve what he did to me, etc. He said that he knew that the concert doesn't make up for anything but he'd hope it'd be a start to our friendship.
So, I called him up and told him that I'd take him with me to the concert.
Then, about four days after my birthday (today) he calls me and tells me that he can't make the concert because he *night* be out of town that day!! WTF is that? If you buy tickets to something and want to go, then you'd know if you were going to be in town that day or not! Am I right?

After all, this was supposed the start of your renewed relation. I say relation, it doesn't necessarily mean the boyfriend girlfriend type thing. After probably thinking that you and him would be able to start new, he blew it! Definitely disappointing.
However, lets look at it from your boyfriend's point of view. He probably wouldn't have done this on purpose, if he sincerely cared about you. Maybe this event just popped up. I don't think he would truly want to hurt you.
But looking at the beginning of your questions, it's truly obvious that you two argue a lot. An on and off relationship!!! If he's the oone starting the arguments, I suggest dumping him, or you could give him a third chance if you want. Your choice. If you start the arguments, then girl, pull your life together. Find the problem, fix it.
Then again, it does seem a little suspicious that he had to go for the night on the same day of your concert. If he was cheating on you before, he could do it again.

I dont know. But try calling him or something and talking to him about how you feel. But a question I am wanting to know is.. Do you still like him?
I hope i helped at all.

Once a cheater, always a cheater- you're lucky that second chance fell through before anything else happened. [ Tulipg17's advice column | Ask Tulipg17 A Question ]
PinkLady4863 answered Thursday June 1 2006, 2:55 pm: It's a common thing, I know I've done it more then once, but girls tend to think every action a guy makes is hinting towards something or an insult. The truth is, he might just be out of town and he can't help it and he decided to tell you so you can find somebody else to go with before it's too late.
See, from a differant point of view it sounds sweet doesn't it? He cared enough to tell you that way if he can't, you don't go alone. && going out of town isn't always somebody's decision, his parents or boss could be making him.
Before you jump to any conclusions, remember that he spent alot of money to try to make it up to you and it sounds really sweet, so give him a chance.
(plus if he messes up again maybe you'll get diamonds =P) just kidding
