I'm 17 (ENFP) and have a lot on my mind rn. Two days ago I had a big argument with my girlfriend (18, ENTJ), which we resolved yesterday morning. Today I'm going on an open day to the university, so I have to wake up really early. And tomorrow I have my C1 exam (Polish language).
Yesterday, while I was writing a Polish essay to prepare for the exam, my girlfriend went to the hospital because she’s been suffering from intense stomach pain during her period. The doctors said she's fine.
I told her I’d finish my essay by the time she was done at the hospital and that we’d talk about it afterward. However, her visit ended sooner than I expected, and I was writing my essay much longer. While writing it, my sister and brother got into a big fight, and I had to step in to mediate. I told my gf afterward that that’s what happened, and told her I had 20 more minutes left to finish my essay. After I finished it in 5, I told her and started checking if I had enough words in it. While I was about 1/4 through checking, my friend—who’s going on the open day with me—called me to talk about the plan for today.
When I ended the call, she was already angry at me for disappearing. Okay, understandable. Then I told her we can talk now, but she didn’t respond. I then went on to pack my backpack for the trip, because I didn’t have much time left before going to sleep.
With all these tasks, I ended up with almost no free time, and I used the little time I had to listen to my girlfriend vent about her feelings.
After she vented, I said that I need to go, because I have to get a good sleep for today—because it’s an important day for me. She snapped with, "Yeah, going to the cinema is very important." (We’re going to the cinema, but only after the open day.) She then continued with, "And on the open day you'll be just listening to lectures all the time," implying it’s not really important and I don’t need a good sleep for it.
When I asked why she was saying it this way, her reply was, “Because I want to.”
I genuinely wanted to support her, and so I did, as much as I could in the little time I had. I’m wondering if I was wrong for not dropping everything to comfort her immediately after the visit ended. Also, was I wrong for going to bed to get a good sleep instead of listening to her vent more and more, like she wanted me to?
TL;DR: GF wanted me to focus on her, forgetting about my family, tasks, and needs, just to listen to her venting.
