Gawd isn't this the truth! And how many of us end up posting these WTF threads because our A's interpreted something in a totally wacko, self-centered fashion? This is the crazy train ride...StarCat described it beautifully, albeit in a very cringe-worthy personal experience (hats off to you for handling that one so well, StarCat).

BobbyJ, One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Laura is, "Guilt is something you feel when you did something wrong, something that violates your personal ethics and morals". What are you doing wrong here that would make you feel guilty?

You stated your actions and boundaries quite clearly. He continues to steamroll right over the top of those boundaries as if you never said anything. Don't you feel discounted?! And angry?! Those would be the appropriate emotions to feel, not guilt because he is sad.

You did do the right thing. He's not. Go enjoy your weekend plans and forget about it!
