I (F16) have been dating my boyfriend (M17) for about 7 months now and this month we will be 8 months. I am very awkward (keep this in mind) but I always try to find time to hangout with my boyfriend when I can but luck just isn’t my thing so when he does want to I am either busy or mentally drained that day. I am extremely happy in my relationship and I don’t want anyone else but lately we have not been hanging out much and he’s expressed that and we communicated and I told him I know how he feels and how I’ll do better but today is his bday dinner and I was supposed to go but my grandpa was found to be sick that same day. I WAS TERRIFIED to tell him and not because his reaction would be bad but because I’d feel so guilty afterwards and I already told him I am introverted and hate eating infront of people so this just makes it seem even more like an excuse, I told him I couldn’t go because I had to take care of my grandpa and he seemed pretty mad but I can also see why he is because over time it has seemed like I’m avoiding him but I’m not and I’ve expressed that. I don’t know what to do because he isn’t very good at communication. Maybe I could’ve left and came back to my grandpa but he’s old and what if I came back to him already at the pearly white gates. I was looking forward to this dinner but family does come first..AITAH??
