Re: Okay, so what do i do?
When you make a committment to go somewhere, this means that you expect to go and that you are expected to be there. To cancel at the last moment by saying "personal reasons" isnt really good enough. Saying "I broke my arm and was in the emergency room" is valid.
"Personal reasons" can be anything and is typically taken as something like I need a manicure and thats more important than hanging out with you.
If you truly want this gal in your life, you owe more of an explanation when you break your committment to her - more especially since you've done it more than once. And you need to stop making committments that you may not be able to keep.
Think about it...if these committments that you broke were with your husband's mother or your own mother or your boss at work....would you still have broken them? And would you have been able to get away with the "personal reasons" excuse?
