>yesterday was my birthday
>boyfriend's best friend died a week ago, he was fired from his job the very next day due to downsizing, and he tripped and twisted his ankle two days ago
>tell my boyfriend that he doesn't have to take me on a date for my birthday; we'd planned out my birthday schedule about a week and a half ago
>he refuses
>"You've been looking forward to this, we're not skipping out. Don't worry about me, I'm looking forward to it too."

I don’t know, maybe spending time with you on a date is enjoyable for him too? He’d be looking forward to it after such a shitty week

>>40596558 (OP)
probably just hoping to get out and forget about things by having a wonderful time with you nona

anon, hes a man and apparently a decent one. some people value their commitments.

We had a great time ^^ I think my boyfriend was forcing himself at times but most of his enjoyment was genuine
