First, sorry for any grammar errors!

so for context I 20f have a bf 22m, we have been dating for 10 months. We are long distance. Yesterday was my birthday, and leading up to it, we planned to call and just spend the day talking to each other, playing games, and overall, spending time together. Nothing like sending me a gift or money. Just time with my man without interruption. This had been planned for a while already, like a couple weeks, so if anything came up, he could just move it to a different day or cancel.

My boyfriend is super amazing at photography, I think he could make money with his pictures. Which just happened! A week ago, he told me it just so happens he is going to be doing photography for his friends wedding and is getting paid, however it just so happens to be on my bday. I was extremely disappointed, but he said "I need money, and he's my friend" but is your friend seriously more important than me? Especially after we've already made plans?!

His timezone is 5 hours ahead of mine, so when it was 1pm for me it was 6pm for him, this was around the time he got home. He had barely talked to me at all that day. When he was finally able to message me he said he needed to get a start on editing some photos and that once he was done we could talk, call, whatever. I wasn't in the mood. When he was finally done I didn't really reply to his messages because I was very upset. He eventually just said "if you're not going to reply I will just go to bed" so I assume he did because he didn't send anything after that. Today we've only talked a little, good morning, did you eat today, any plans, stuff like that. I didn't really say much to him.

My question is, aitah for for one, being upset at him for disregarding our plans, and then being dry to him with my texts?
