Tonight I was supposed to be going out for drinks with a friend. The plan was to meet up in the afternoon and be out all evening and I likely wouldn’t get home until around 2am.
My girlfriend had planned to have a relaxing evening in. She had a book she wanted to startreading, a show on netflix she wanted ot finish and a game on the nintendo switch she wanted to play.
My friend cancelled plans as something came up. I told my gf this and she asked what I was planning instead. I told her nothing and that I’d just be at home. She reminded me that she was planning to have a relaxing evening.
I told her that I wasn’t stopping her and that she could still do everything she wanted, I would just be in the apartment. I said she can still watch Netflix, play the switch etc and that I’d likely read and watch Netflix on my laptop and then play video games when she isn’t in the living room. I said I won’t be disturbing her evening.
She just said she thinks I should make another plan as it won’t be as relaxing for her if I’m also there as she was looking forward to a night to herself.
I pointed out it’s not my fault my friend cancelled and I shouldn’t have to stay out of my home just because she wants me to. I said i’m not stopping her doing what she had planned.
She just said I’m not considering her and that I should be fine with making another plan at the weekend but I refused.
AITA for spending the night at home after my plans get cancelled?
