I hope we don't need to give detail instruction on how to

But honestly, have you laid out money for all the arrangement and if you have and lost money because of it, you definitely have to tell him about it. I hate to say this but as a bloke, these type of "detail" things might escape him. he might not do anything about it and probably won't reimburse you for it but he should be told, so he can be more considerate and mature; we hope after this incident.

As to you being home sick, how about come out for a drink or meet up for a quick lunch at weekend? a change of routine help to break the boredom. Happy to arrange something with you and others to do something different at weekend!

Ah, I see the mistake. You were thinking on behalf of someone else that didn't quite share your same basic settings or attitudes. Annoying that, I do it all the time.

I've been trying to get people to convert to my way of thinking on here too, but it's a thankless task. Much like cutting the grass with a pair of nail clippers.

Girl invites male friend that she hasn't seen for many years* to visit and he arranges to come with his girlfriend/wife and see you and then cancels. Likely cause:

a) he got a better offer
b) his girlfriend /wife was making jealous noises

Either way, these things happen so don´t fret about it.

AYB

* was there ever romantic relationship between you six or more years ago ? If so then (b) almost certainly applies.

Life is too short to keep people in your life who aren't exactly that much into you. As much as you are into them.

Plus, guys can't multitask, can they..
Let it be, he's got another agenda, maybe you will hear from him, and you might also have another agenda. Now, go and hang out with a really nice buddy. Why dwell on grudge.

Looking at it from their point of view could be like this:

We haven't seen either friend for years but don't have time to stay with both.
We can keep in touch with our friend in Schaffhausen as we have connected up on Facebook.
We really want to see the Alps as they are something really special that we cannot see at home.
Schaffhausen may be nice but it doesn't sound unique.
Therefore we will stay with our friend in the Alps.

Try to meet up with them where they are staying. You may get new friends in Switzerland into the bargain

Pssst... Squidmonkey's a dude.



Not saying you're wrong with your idea. There's nothing wrong with that sort of thing; even in Australia. Just that he's a he.

No man would make such a fuss.

Oops...ok. So, clearly not question of potential multitasking.

This kind of thread (and discussion in real life) always reminds me of this:

When a man loves a woman
Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else
He’d trade the world
For a good thing he’s found
If she is bad, he can’t see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down

It's a no win situation, always has been always will be....



You're not the one keeping him happy, so he'll never choose you or anybody else over his lady.

I guess men have their priorities...

sex > bromance....

unless you can offer him both

Women.

So what's the latest? ... You know how we are,
we're always so damn curious how things turned out at the end and so on ...
