Overprotective or Stubborn

Hi All,

I have a situation and I want to know you guys opinion on it.. I want to confirm what am standing for is correct or is it just me being stubborn for nothing..

So my long distance bf with whom I have started dating a few months back was arriving to a city near me.. So we were planning to meet for first time.. And he could have took a flight back from there itself but he insisted he would like to travel 3hours back to my city and take flight from here for my safety.

But since its a waste of his time, energy, money and also city to city travel in day time is not risky enough and I want to be self reliant wherever possible so others don't have to change their plan.. I insisted him to take a flight from that city itself and That resulted in one day of argument. And it ended with agreement that he will atleast coming to pick me up and drop me until station.

Next, While booking flight he realised that he has only two flight options morning and night. So he wanted me to book a train of earlier time so he could drop me and then go to airport after that. I said we can separate at hotel itself and dropping is not necessary but then again that lead to argument that he will..

So I asked him if we anyday we settle together would he accompany everywhere and if it's not possible will I have to drop the plan altogether. And he said he will evaluate situation and based on that it will depend and my concern is my evaluation for the situation is of no value and he will decide and I have compromise if he says i shouldn't go for the peace of the relationship to be maintained.

It sounds like you are trying to be independent and feel he's trying to make the decisions? What if he sees it as trying to keep you safe? Maybe he didn't want you taking a long trip alone to see him bc its dangerous? Idk where you live.

My point is that there are other possibilities besides him trying to control the visit. How important to you is it that you get your way and travel alone? That's what you need to ask yourself. I hope this helps a bit.
