Hi, this is OP. To be fair, he did fly me out to visit him and put a real effort into making the week we had together great. That said, after I did manage to fix the flight back, I think he was scared I was going to kick him in the balls for that stunt for most of the extra 24 hours we had together. But the makeup sex was great and I barely managed to make it back in time for work obligations, so bf is EXTREMELY lucky :) And we have a new relationship rule of not ******* with travel arrangements. Sigh.

The fact that some people think what the boyfriend did is romantic is exactly what is wrong with our society. Life is not a Nicholas Sparks novel. OPs boyfriend is an ass and could have jeopardized her employment.
If he wants to spend more time with you why can't he book a flight there as well for a few days?

I feel like you still kind of deserve it though. You can't really blame him entirely for missing your flight when you knew what time you had to be there especially since it's for your job.
Do you know what the word "tricked" means?
Reading comprehension is an important skill to learn.
Stop saying "It's the thought that counts." OP's boyfriend was being selfish and manipulative. She had a flight to catch to return to work. What if his selfishness causes her to lose her job?

This is one of those things that is romantic in theory, but a massive pain in the ass in practice. I hope you at least made him pay for a new flight out.
OP, I can't help but hope that you rewarded his trickery by giving him the gift of finding someone else to be "romantic" to. If you haven't already dumped his ass, please seriously consider it. This is top-level manipulative bullshit right there, and he's going to throw a hysterical tantrum and pout because you're not appropriately aflutter after all the "effort" he put in on your behalf.
How does anything think this is romantic? That is manipulative as ****!

It's nice to see everything worked up in the end :)
He should've been happy with the week he had planned and shouldn't have been so selfish and manipulative. I would be very cautious moving forward with this relationship. It's fine to forgive him and move on if he's sorry and doesn't do something like this again, but I'd be keeping an eye out for this sort of behaviour in the future.
I think that's a bit far. He was clearly unaware of the dangers of what he was doing and just wanted to spend more time with her. It was a bad move but with good intentions, he's not a bad guy.
I think I'm the only one who got the Stephen King reference here and thought it was funny
How sweet and stupid of him.

I'm reading these comments, and really can't understand the support the boyfriend is getting. He deliberately made her miss her flights, and it caused a giant mess. Keep in mind that she was flying for work, and her company might not be so happy as these commenters if she had missed an important meeting or conference. The "thought" doesn't count when a selfish person inconveniences you to fulfill a personal desire.
honestly I'd be upset that he had done that without clearing up the mess. aint nuthing romantic about ******* up your travel arrangements when u have to deal with it.
