Am i overreacting?

So this is my spiel and I really need opinions (:

This past Saturday I had a party that my friends really wanted me to go to, it was a gay party and im straight which is the only reason my boyfriend, of over a year, was oky with it. Anyways I'm not really a party girl anymore so I wasn't looking forward to it but I still went because I hadn't seen my friends in a really long time. That day my boyfriend was working until 10pm and I told him I would pick him up from work, that it didnt matter that I left the party because I wasn't really trying to stay there for long, plus I wanted to spend time with him. We had like a two hour conversation about it. He wanted me to stay at the party and have fun, but I wanted to just go pick him up and be with him, especially since it was going to rain that night I didnt want him going on the bus or walking around at night. He ended up agreeing and once he went to work we couldnt text anymore. I ended up getting to the party around 9pm and left around 9:45pm. His work is pretty far, about a 20 minute drive. I got to his work and nobody was there!!! I got there at 10:05pm and I texted him at 10:01 saying I was almost there at 10:06 he told me he was on the bus already, I felt DITCHED! :( I really have no idea wtf he was thinking! I feel like a psycho for being so angy but then again I feel like I have a reason to be. He said he thought I hadn't left the party since he didn't see my car at 10 that he didn't check his phone and that he was getting wet from the rain so he just hopped on the bus. I've been mad at him since Saturday and I'm still really mad because I pretty much just wasted 40 minutes worth of gas going there and coming back with nobody! Am I overreacting?

    I think it's interesting that you calculate fuel consumption by the minute.

      Bhahahaha!!! I thought this too. Maybe the gas gage is a clock face? I wonder how many minutes per hour it gets.

        Hopefully 60 minutes per hour, otherwise that car is in serious need of a tune up. :P

          If it's traveling close to the speed of light, it might just be in a slight time warp. Nothing to worry about, really.

              I was just correcting howaminotmyself, since special relativity says that time isn't always constant when you're going really fast. I didn't really mean it as having anything to do with your typo, but I can see how you might've seen it that way. :P

              Awe, I'm sorry OP. I thought it was a cute error and felt like playing with it. I truly wondered if people sometimes think in terms of minutes when it comes to gas.

              And while it may have been off topic, it was all in good fun. And I do think you are overreacting just a bit based on your reaction to the comments in this tread. Try to figure out how it happened. Neither you or your boyfriend are right or wrong in the situation.

    Yes you are over-reacting - he didn't do anything to hurt you - it was a mix-up.

    I think you'll have to learn to live with mistakes and screw-ups - life is full of them!

    Once you mentioned the rain, I feel he was justified. I would probably still be a bit miffed in your situation but not pissed.

    I think you have every right to be upset still. You went out of your way for him. Why shouldn't your feelings matter? Your a good person don't let people take advantage of that.

    Yes, you are over-reacting.
    You need to work on your communication skills a little better, that's all.
    It's things like this that cost us all. As you stated, you wasted 40 minutes worth of fuel. Only 14,939 days left until the petroleum reserves are depleted.

    Maybe he's trying to tell you something but he's being a bad communicator. Maybe he wanted you to spend time with your friends you say you rarely see, maybe he feels like you're being clingy. Read between some of those lines .
    But seriously look at yourself ! You want to spend time with your friends but your there for less than an hour? Come on be real with yourself

    We work things out by Monday. I guess I just worry about the type of person he THINKS I am. I feel like I am overreacting but its because all these other things run through my head. I would never let him stand out in the rain waiting for me, especially without me telling him so nor for only a party. It is a miscommunication issue, if we're both mad we both just EXPLODE when we talk to eachother and obviously can't resolve anything like that. We both apologized and I'm hoping he never feels like I'm that type of gf that would not come through for him.

    Deal with it. It won't be the last miscommunication you experience in life.
