If that is not self-evident to you and others reading and replying to this - then nothing I say is going to matter.

thanks.

This is understandable.boerngrim said:I'm disappointed.
This is also understandable, given past cancellations at the last minute. This was the mindset you should have been in when you called your friend back. Explain to him that you are frustrated about the last minute cancellations. Ask why this sort of thing happens. See if he has any input on how to make it happen less often or to make the odd occasion less frustrating for you. It may be that he can't help it and you'll just have to put up with the occasional last minute cancellation. You then get to decide whether you want gaming with occasional disappointment and frustration or no gaming without the disappointment of last minute cancellations. You agree above that his family priorities should come first, so it's something you may just have to accept.Then I get frustrated
This is where you become unreasonable. Getting mad without talking about your frustration reasonably first is an overreaction. You also seem to be placing an awful lot of emphasis on following through on a plan to participate in a voluntary, recreational activity. IMO you were being unreasonable, which is probably why your friend reacted so negatively. You should apologize.then I get mad <snip> somehow its twisted to where I'm the one who's out of line because I think people should follow through on things they have agreed to do and not cancel at the last minute.
