Am i overreacting?


Question:
My boyfriend and I were in a disagreement today. The basic idea was that it has been forever since we have been out on a date and I am moving back to college in a couple weeks and I wanted him to ride about 45 min away with me to help me get some stuff out of storage... Just so we could spend some time together without his sisters always there since we NEVER go out anymore. He procedes to tell me that he doesn't like going places and that he works and is tired. He didnt work this week, he worked the week before, but didnt the week before that! So I told him he'd only worked 1 week this month and he asked what my job was. I worked at a daycare at the begining of the summer, but I worked hard in college and got enough scholarships to cover EVERYTHING in school... So I've saved money and gotten those and I dont NEED a job... He knows that so I just reminded him. And he told me that I'd always had everything HANDED TO ME! After I worked my butt off for those! I DID IT! And then he went in.

Answer:
You aren't give me enough info for me to know if you are overreacting.
I think you mite have assumed he understood that you wanted to hang out, but he mite of thought that you could be using him?

this is a tuff one, based on what you said, IMO it seems like he doesnt care if you guys go out, but you do
no u aren't overreacting
if u worked for it, then it's not being handed to you.
no your not overreacting. he sounds like a jerk. i dont like him. he should be more considerate to you. i'd dump him. your better than him anyway.
Drop the boyfriend. He is losing interest.
Sounds like you need to tell him to lose your phone number.He sounds like he's not right for you.
ur bf sounds like a complete jerk...even if he is tired, which is improbable, he should come up with better excuses than that. But maybe he was having a bad day. Give him another opportunity and if he declines, than it would reflect that he doesn't appreciate quality time wit u.
Oooooh lover spat LOL

Let him cool off or let yourself cool off, then talk about it more in an open respectful manor. Let him know this is you intention too before you start the conversation. Let him know he hurt your feelings by accusing you of being a brat when you feel you've worked hard for what you have.

COMMUNICATE!

If he can't do this, my friend Alex would probably suggest couple's therapy for yall. But I say if he can't talk things out to solve yalls emotional relationship problems, and after trying really hard to work with him on such things and it don't go no where, then dump his @ss!
Listen right now what he and you need to do is take a break from one another. I don't believe that you were overreacting to what he said. College is very expensive and is hard work. Not a lot of people have the money or sometimes the knowledge to make it in college so he should be empathic to what you might be going through trying to get established in your life and applying for those grants which by the way can be pretty stressful. He should also understand that you want and need to spend time with him the reason why, when, and what should not matter.

Good Luck!
It sounds like more than just a little disagreement. You sound like you have goals in mind and are very serious about your education and your future. Does this guy act like someone you would want to spend the rest of your life with? Does he have the same maturity level as you? Goals set? Is he willing to work as hard as you to acheive goals or dreams in the future? Maybe this is a wake up call for you that he may not be mister right? Think about it, you want someone who wants to spend time with you and appreciate all that you are putting into your education and your future. If he is this way now, what will he be like in the future? How many disagreements will you have over his working so few hours, or his acceptance of you working so many? Will he ever be supportive of You? Maybe it is time to cut the relationship off and find someone who is more like you, wants to spend time with you, and really appreciates you as a person.
