My bf took a guys trip to Caribbean to celebrate a good friend of 20+ year’s milestone bday. The friend’s bday is the day before mine. Normally bf and I trip for my bday over the holiday weekend. Bf will be back for my actual bday, and we’re taking a domestic trip next weekend. That said, I still feel a little miffed that we’re not spending this weekend together like normal. Are my feelings unreasonable?

It’s normal to miss him, but you shouldn’t be miffed if he’s been planning this trip for a while (it sounds like he has).

Celebrate with other friends and family this weekend, then enjoy your domestic trip with your bf next weekend.

What’s the milestone for his friend and when was the last time he saw him?

Hoping this doesn’t turn controversial.

I mean, I spend 100 dollars a week on a tutor to teach them Arabic. My parents spent thousands and I can barely read it now and prefer transliteration.thoughts?
