Pet Peeves

I've spent most of my weekend disappointed. Why? You might be asking. The reason, plans that were made on Monday for Saturday were not just canceled but totally taken away. Then after about a day or almost a day to get over this disappointment, I am faced with another bout of disappointment by the same person who stated they had one errand to run and then they would be coming over to see me. This was roughly 5 hours ago and I have yet to hear from this person to say something along the lines of, "Hey! Yeah, I know I said I was coming over but such and such came up" or "I'm really sorry, I will not be able to come over like I thought. I will get in touch with you another day." But did I get that??? NO! I am not mad per say but I am far from happy. This is just one of my pet peeves. Saying you are going to do something and totally bail out on me. But more than that, I really dislike not being given any kind of word as to what happened or if something came up.

Now before you say anything, I know that there may not be an opportunity for this person to get in touch with me. Ok, I will give you that. I always give just enough room for such reasons like the one stated above and even those that are completely in left field. However, after my first disappointment; adding this disappointment is like adding salt to an open wound, it's just not sitting well with me.

And I do not have one clue as to what to do about either of these disappointments because the person who bestowed these disappointments on me, is someone I know without a doubt would not do this on purpose; at least I hope I can believe that.

Oh! I better just shut this down now cause I am getting more and more tired which means becoming more and more cranky. I better go to bed or at least step away from the situation mentally as much as possible before I say or do something I will regret. Night.

It was/is HIM! Like I said I am not mad, just seriously disappointed. I loathe being disappointed in any way, shape or, form. Now granted the first bout of disappointment was beyond his control, he had work. But last night, that I have no idea what could have possibly come up. I am thinking he stopped by his brother's place and knowing them the way I do when they get together, HE forgets about a lot of things. I really don't have much room to complain seeing as I am not his girlfriend but at the same time, we have been spending a good bit of time together and I am really not feeling all important to HIM at this moment. Am I wrong for feeling this? Could I be blowing this out of proportion? I don't know anymore, but what I do know is; I am not contacting HIM. I know me and if I do, I will say something or do something I will regret. And I don't want that. Thanks for "listening" (reading).
