My boyfriend did something a bit upsetting today.
Yesterday we agreed to finish the first season of a TV show today (the last three episodes). I arrived home and was told that he was already watching the last episode on his own. His reasoning is that I seemed very excited to introduce him to the second season and he was out of shows to binge-watch, which I'm not at all pleased about. You only see an ending for the first time once, and I was really looking forward to seeing his reactions.
This is coming after similar problems with communication, such as him not giving me a heads-up when he was going to be out all night. These are things he says he'll get better at, as it's been a long time since he was in a relationship. Fair enough - I'm no spring chicken myself. We chat in calls nightly but had never discussed how often we really needed it, or what we needed between those chats. I just enjoy knowing whether or not I should plan for some time together.
However, we agreed less than 24 hours earlier that we would finish the season together tonight. This has led to me feeling like he may not be someone I can rely on to do what he says he will. Am I wrong for being upset when it's "just a TV show"? How do I explain to him how important it is for me to have someone who keeps their words and plans with me?
