This happened on Saturday evening/night. My daughter lives with her mom but she spends most weekends at mine (unless she already has plans for that weekend). Her spending the weekend at mine usually means doing something “fun” during the day on Saturday, she then spends the whole evening and night in her room on her phone (like all teenagers) and then going out for lunch on Sunday before I drop her off back at her moms.
But this Saturday, it was about 5 or 6 p.m., and my daughter asked me if we could watch something together. which was extremely unusual, but I obviously agreed. We ended up binge-watching Breaking Bad and eating ice cream in bed. But around 10 p.m., my girlfriend texted me, asking when she could come over, and I realized that I completely forgot that I said she could come over on Saturday.
So I just texted her and asked if we could meet up tomorrow (Sunday) instead. But then she called, upset that I had changed plans at the last minute and hadn’t told her. I tried to explain the whole situation and that I simply forgot, but she just hung up, and then she texted me, saying that if I don’t care about our plans, she’s not coming over on Sunday. and she didn’t. In fact, we haven’t seen each other since last week. So was I wrong ? What should I Do ?
