My bf also lives in Tokyo, about an hour train ride from my school, so we'll probably mostly be visiting on the weekends while I'm there, though I'll be staying with him my first week. I get in on a Saturday evening and start orientation at my school on Monday morning, so we sort of had a loose plan (I thought) to spend Sunday together just going somewhere and being together. It will have been 11 months since the last time we met (a week last April). But he asked if he could go play board games with his group that Sunday, since they're meeting in his town I guess. Andit's like an all-day thing. I said it was fine, becasue I feel like if I don't I'll feel guilty and like a selfish overprotective girlfriend. But I also feel kind of sad and confused. We didn't have a hard-and-fast plan, but idk why he doesn't want to spend a day together after not seeing each other for 11 months. Is that normal?? Am I overreacting?? I probably won't make a big deal about it because if he feels guilty and spends the day with me instead then I feel like it won't be fun. I know it's not the biggest deal but I just feel sad he doesn't want to spend time with me after so long apart. And most of the time I feel like it wouldn't really matter if we were together or not -- he never seems really sad that we aren't together and can't celebrate Christmas/birthdays/anniversary together.

Sorry this is kind of a rant, idk I just feel really disappointed somehow.

Edit: I should mention this will be my third time in Tokyo, so it's not like he'll be leaving me on my own in an unfamiliar city in a foreign country lol, then I'd be a lot more mad haha
