PLEASE HELP! – I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO
For those of you who have been following my blogs you would know that BF and I have been going through a really rough patch lately and within the last 4 hours it just got 10 times worse.
The last 3 days have been nothing but small talk with BF as there were some pending issues between us. Well this morning I had had enough. During an over the phone argument I told BF that I’ve had enough and that this was the end. I said that I will stay for SS11 birthday party this evening but when he leaves to drop the skids off to BM I will gather my things and leave.
As you can imagine it didn’t end there, many hurtful things were said to each other until we both hung up angrier at each other than when we started the conversation.
Then it got 10times worse.
After about 10min of me getting in to work this morning I received a phone call from my MIL saying that grandma is very sick and doctors have just called to say that family should come and say their last goodbyes asap as she doesn’t have much longer. Grandma has been in hospital sick since Christmas and everyone has been crossing their fingers hoping she makes it to her 90th birthday in June. Well MIL called me because she was looking after SS for us and asked me if she should drop him off to me at work or call BM. MIL didn’t want to ring BF because she knows how close he and his grandmother are and she was too upset and wanted to hurry to the hospital which is 2 and a half hours away.
I knew I had to do the right thing and tell BF straight away; there are some things you put aside when an emergency happens.
So BF answers his phone with a shitty “yeah, what do you want”, I explained that there was something serious I needed to tell him. I told him what happened and you could tell while I was telling him that he didn’t want to speak to me and all he said was why did MIL ring you and not me and when I told him why he said okay then, Bye, and hung up.
I don’t know what to do now. I want to be there for him but I am still very upset as he is with me. I don’t know what’s going to happen with the party tonight as the in laws definitely won’t be coming and if grandmother does pass away I don’t even know if BF will ring and even tell me.
I don’t want to ring BF back as he did say he was busy working, but how should I approach this, pretend there was no argument? ring him later on this afternoon and see if he has heard anything from MIL even though there is a good chance he wont even answer my calls. I just don’t know what to do from here.
Please I need some advice! Any advice!

Dani, I think you answered your own question...
"There are some things you put aside when there's an emergency"....take the high road. You committed to be there for the party, so do that and then leave WITH your stuff when skids go to BM. Since things are so up in the air regarding the grandmother, I'm sure it will upset SS if there is chaos and people don't show up for his party. I'm sure you being there will detract from the chaos.
Starting tomorrow, take some time for DANI and figure out if this aggravation is worth it anymore. Just be glad you're not MARRIED and you still have OPTIONS!!

Thanks for the advice KittyKat.
I feel sick in the stomach at the moment. My head is spinning around at 100 miles an hour and I just can't think clearly.
I took the time out for me just before christmas and alot of things were spoken about between us. I think I'm starting to realise that maybe just because we love eachother very very much doesn't mean we can be with eachother. That's the hardest thing to come to terms with at the moment.
Hey, Dani..
Please keep us posted with how things turned out!!
WE CARE!!
HUGS!!

I'm so, so sorry. I feel bad for your SS's though, too, because it sounds like things are going to get pretty chaotic in their lives. All I can suggest is that you take some time for you.
I feel bad for your BF about his grandma, but that doesn't excuse how he's been treating you. Nobody deserves to be treated like that. Do something good and nice for yourself- buy yourself something you've wanted for a long time, hang out with friends, get a coffee or tea, read a book, play music, etc. And remember we're all here for you. (((HUGS)))
Oh, Dani, KK is right on

be there for your BF like you would for any friend who is possibly facing a loss-but that's it.
I think you're better off not staying there, but go with your heart, do what feels right in your gut. You're a smart girl, I say follow your instincts.
Now
Is the time to stand by your man.If you dont then it might be something that is brought up in your face later.You should go and be with him and comfort him so he knows that no matter what you will be by his side.
Can you text him?
My first reaction would be to text him and say just what you said. "I just want you to know that regardless of what is going on between me and you, I still care and please tell me how I can help right now..."
Sometimes when we are so mad at someone, we just can't have civil conversations. But if you really do want to be there for him, all he needs to know is that he can count on you. His grief is greater than any other emotion he could possibly be having and I think he would be receptive to any comforting or assistance right now.
