[Hey]

He was on the flight back to home from a businesstrip. I told him that I will go and pick him up from the airport. I arrived 8:20PM at the airport but the flight was delayed with unknown departuretime. (I checked flight status every 3 minutes). He texted me that “The plane has some instrument problems. The pilot reset the system twice and did not work. He shuted down the whole plane but nothing….we’re still waiting in the plane. It does not look good”. So I told him that I’ll go home and wait him at home. It was about 8:50PM. That’s the reason he felt sad and bad. He made the conclusion that I don’t care about him at all and decided to breakup. He said 100% women will wait at airport to see what happened.

I have a full time job and need to get up at 8AM to workplace. I feel at least he’s safe because the flight won’t take off until it got fixed. It shall be OK if I wait at home because he may come back on second day.

What do you guys/girls think.? Do you agree with him that I don’t care about him? What would you do if you were me?

Your boyfriend is either immature or else he’s using this as an excuse to do something he’s been wanting to do for a while — break up with you. As far as your behavior goes, the way you deliver the message sometimes has a lot more to do with his reaction than the message, itself. So, if you tell him that you’re going home to wait for him, and you’re cold and annoyed, it’s going to come across much differently than if you tell him you love and you feel sorry that he’s going through this travel snafu, and you can’t wait to see him. So check yourself, and if you were warm and kind, then this is his thing. But if you were snippy and chilly, you may have conveyed disinterest.

Hope that helps!

[Hey]

You’re completely right! I think I might be cool before. Thank you!
