Omg! Somedays I just want to strangle my FI! So as you may know, we're in a LDR and I haven't seen him in 3 months. I'm literally counting the days until my flight leaves Saturday and I get to go home and see him for Thanksgiving break from school. Well... my class friday was cancelled, so I figured, hey, I don't have class thursday, I can easily skip work, and IF, JUST MAYBE, IF I could get a different flight, I could leave as early as Wednesday. So I call the airline, and they inform me that it would be a ridiculously huge charge to change my flight AND to make matters WORSE, the airline changed my flight from Saturday to Sunday. This is the second time they have changed it on me!!!!
I am not exactly sane, so I start yelling at the poor lady on the phone, but, in the end, she realizes that the airline was being unreasonable, and offers me FULL REFUND of my ticket. I take it, and say, ahh fuuk it, I might as well drive the 15 hours. I'll still get there before Sunday. I can leave Wednesday, after all. So after sitting on hold for HALF AN HOUR while she talks to the airline and her manager, I get my entire ticket price back and end up planning a one-person road trip.
So then I call my FI to tell him the good news, that I will be seeing him Thursday afternoon instead of Saturday night. HE FLIPS OUT AND STARTS SCREAMING AT ME. What you might not know is that I have epilepsy and have never driven 15 hours by myself. I'm fine with it, but FI is convinced that I'm going to die. If it were that dangerous, they wouldn't have given me my license back 18 months ago. So instead of being happy that he's going to see me sooner, he starts calling the airlines trying to see if anyone will give me a flight for the original ticket price again (which they won't because it's so last minute). Now I'm just mad, so I want to vent to someone, so I call my mom, only to have her call me back and HE ALREADY CALLED HER TO TELL HER WHAT I DID. Apparently he felt the need to inform my mother that I'm going to be driving 15 hours, because he's worried about me and apparently my FI now feels the need to tattle on me to my own mother. I AM FINE, I'M NOT A BABY. If it were really a risk to my health, I wouldn't do it. He is seriously overreacting and spoiling the whole trip.
I am so peeved. This is totally no fun anymore. I haven't seen him in 3 months and now the first thing I want to do is kick him. Sometimes I hate boys. Grrrrrrrr.
Thanks for listening!
