I had yesterday booked off work for a while, I planned to spend it watching horror movies, playing horror games etc as I’ve always loved Halloween.
My girlfriend has known about this for weeks. Shes at work but is working from home. She mentioned that she would either work on my home office or work at a cafe in town so I can have the living room as she usually works in the living room when she works from home.
She’s been feeling low for a while and can get quite snappy at times. She wasn’t feeling great and mentioned she was going to work in the living room as she doesn’t want to go in town and she doesn’t want to use the home office.
She mentioned that I wouldn’t be able to watch movies or play games as she needs to make calls and would need quiet.
I told her if she can’t have noise to work in another room since I’m not cancelling what I have planned. I said she knew what I was planning for today and she can’t expect me to just waste my day of leave.
I pointed out it looks like she just doing it out of spite and to make sure I have a shit day just because she’s feeling shit.
I said I’d still be doing what I had planned so she could either accept the noise or work somewhere else. I then put the tv on and started watching my first film,
She said I wasn’t being fair towards her and that she has to work. I said I’m not stopping her working, I’m just not cancelling my plans.
Does anyone have any other perspectives on this or have any advice on how best to approach the situation?
Tl;dr my girlfriend changed her working plans and expected me to cancel my plans for my day off.
