I love my boyfriend I really do. But some ofthe things he does frustrates me so much!. For one, he is never ever on time. Hes usually an hour or two late.. or sometimes he forgets all together.. I was supposed to go to his hosue once, im there in my car waiting for him to get home (we got outta school and were giong to chill before work) and he called me like 20 mins after ive been there..saying he was at the gym. He literally forgot bout me, even though we talked bout meeting up twice earlier that day. What would you do about that. Other than that, hes so perfect, but I just cant understand how you can care about someone so much, yet always forget bout them, or do those stupid little things to hurt them. What would you do?

Talk with him about it. Let him know how it makes you feel. Don't blame him, use "I" statements. If you can't come to some resolution, forget it. He's not worth it. He doesn't appreciate you and doesn't sound like he'll stop doing it. Dump him now before he upsets you anymore.

I totally agree with you. You just need to talk to your boyfriend about his attitudes. Maybe you two needs just to talk to patch things up. Take care. Hope you will be okay soon.

"Other than that, hes so perfect" The irony of this struck me. There's a paragraph with plenty of things I wouldn't want happening to me (frustration, never on time, hours late, forgets you, goes other places when you have plans) and this paragraph comes before that quoted sentence...but in the end the choice word by you is "perfect". I'd really look at the relationship and situation seriously. Who is to say he won't keep doing this, or get worse? You should state these transgressions seriously as your relationship depends on more balance and consideration of each other. Its almost like he's not as invested in the relationship, or maybe these are honest flaws. Either way, it needs to be addressed (unless of course you want it to continue).

my dear , if you do not want to wait then don't wait for him if he does not show up on time. be a little kinder to yourself. if what you say he is , not caring , then don't care to wait ,too! do you wait for him forever because you love him or you wait for him to show him that you are on time and you would have an excuse to pick a fight. show him that you do not like what he is doing to you, don't tell him.let him feel that you do not the idea that you are taken for granted. if he said , you do not understand him ,then ask him does he understand you? if he still insists, i do not think "it" is not worth the wait.

Hi YoungINLove, Maybe the best thing to do is to sit and talk about the problem! You can't just ignore that and take it since it's also unfair in your side waiting and waiting. Maybe he just need to be reminded a lot or often, like you have to make it a point to give him a ring to remind him about your date or appointment! There are really people who are very forgetful, if he is perfect in all aspect of your relationship, I'm sure he cares and loves you! Just help him in this weakness if you truly love him!

When you have a boyfriend, and youre young, and you talk during the day about meeting up, if he's about you, that's what he's thinking of doing. If he's about someone or something else, you're not. I don't mean to be mean, but it seems like he doesn't value your commitment, as much as you do. I would leave him. You should know you're too amazing to be forgetable, go find someone that will think of you all the time. If he's doing things to hurt you, he's trying to get rid of you. Maybe there's another girl...sorry...

I would have a serious talk with him. When you love someone, you do everything in your power not to forget them, and to be on time. I mean, I can understand being like 15 minutes late once in a while, and sure.. ill forgive the occasional 30 mins or so .. but an hour or two late? No. wouldn't fly with me. Just talk to him. I would say : Look. I love you very much, but you are hurting my feelings when you forget about something that is important to me.. especially if it's about the two of us being with each other like a loving couple should. If he continues or gives you crap, dump him.

Hello young in love! If you love someone, you will do the best you can to be on time. That's the reality of people who are in love and do really love. The fact that your boyfriend forget your agreements most of the time is a sign that he may have someone whom he prioritize. If you read the pattern, as you mentioned, it shows that he does not value your time. Make your decision, you're still young.

I have been married for four years and my dated my husband for two years before getting married. He has always been late for everything. even getting married he was late.lol. I just learned to set the clocks ahead if we are going somewhere so if he says we will leave at five at 12 I will reset the clock to say 3.LOL That is how I do it most times, other times he is right on time. But we are still very much in love he just has no since of time. A lot of men don't. They get busy with tv or video games then nothing else matters. I think it is a guy thing.
