Boyfriend went to an all night party and now can't make it to lunch with my parents. How do I deal with this?

You got to page 3, well done.

My Trollometer is registering 7/10, it would have been 6/10 but he managed to get one of the site owners to respond.

Agree with Canada girl. Don’t disappoint your parents. If he’s in in his late 20 s he should know better.

Why can’t he just sleep for a few hours and go? I assume lunch won’t be hours and hours. Tell him to toughen up a bit. I assume he’s not a runner.

Of course he's not a runner... any decent runner with any aspirations would crash for 2 or 3 hours then get up and do his long run and go to lunch with his girlfriend.

but truthfully the chances of a runner having a girlfriend are probably pretty low anyway .... therefore this is not a legit thread.

i will give the OP a 8/10 for effort.... hahahaha... you are in your late 20s... lol

I gave his last troll thread 10/10, but that got to 9 pages, I don't think this one will.

I honestly don't see the problem here. The guy goes out and has some fun with friends and we're all upset because he's a little hungover? And this is the first time in over a year he's done this? Are your parents Mormon? If my girlfriend did this I would think it's hilarious and tell my parents the reason she can't make lunch/dinner is because she was out till 6am livin it up for a friend's birthday. Anyone who has a problem with this needs to get over themselves and stop being a judgmental ahole. I didn't realize everyone on this website read the Bible before going to bed at 9:30 on a Saturday night. Sorry some people like to have some fun on occasion. You people take life way too seriously.

This. He apologized. If it starts happening frequently, then you gotta reevaluate him.

Well, I would not make an excuse. Tell your parents that he was out late celebrating a friend's birthday and is not going to make it.

Second, let him know how much you were looking forward to having him at lunch with your parents and what it means to you.

Third, if he is usually good about keeping commitments then cut him some slack and do not rip him a new one.

Don’t talk to him for a few days. He put you in an awkward position. Have a talk with him when you cool off.

If he does it again drop him.

Oh, so you method is passive-aggressiveness? Far better to let him know that you are disappointed than giving him some bull shite silent treatment.

Remember at some point the shoe will be on the other foot.

All the first replies are saying to chew him out and all the replies on the last page are saying cut him some slack. Sounds like the group that sees themselves in his position (i.e. waking up late and seeing this) sides with him more, while the early risers see the girlfriend's side more.

^this

Be sure to eat plenty of runny taco meat before you see him next. When he wants sex you should fart.

Be honest and tell your parents your BF prioritizes drinking and partying over his commitments to you. If it's difficult hearing yourself saying that, listen even more intently. Because it's the unfortunate truth.

Maybe too late for this...but...

You go to lunch with your parents, and then go get him for dinner.

You wake him up with a Hughie, ride him hard, then tell him to get his arse in the shower and get ready to take you and your parents out to dinner.

I think that's all a fair compromise.

Then do your job. Go satisfy him and maybe it won't happen next time.

No. If he stayed out until 6 and is still hammered drunk, he made the right call to skip the 11 am brunch. You don't want him there sweating and smelling like booze.

No respectable person would date someone like this.

For sure, I wouldn't have dated a woman who acted even one time that way.

He's only a boyfriend, and there's no upside to continue a relationship.
