OK I know posting on Letsrun isn't the best for advice but there are occasionally some nuggets here so here goes. I am also sure I'll get people blaming me as is the case with this website but hopefully there is still some good advice there.
My boyfriend was supposed to come to lunch at my parents today (they've met before so this isn't the first time but it is not something that happens super regularly). He went to a party last evening and then I got a text around 6-7 AM saying he just got back from the party and didn't think he'd feel okay enough to come to lunch. He also did add he feels really bad about it and about disappointing my parents and if there's anything he can do to make up for it.
I'm feeling annoyed and also upset that I now have to make up excuses to my parents about it. I also can't tell my parents "maybe dinner or " works better because he's sleeping right now and won't be able to confirm that. To be fair, this is the first time something like this has happened (he doesn't go to these types of parties regularly at all, this was a birthday party for a friend). Any suggestions on how to deal with this? It seems to me that it doesn't make sense to get angry/yell but I do want to convey my disappointment.
