Her Boyfriend Forgot His Passport At Home And Did Not Make It Back To The Airport In Time, But She Still Went On A New Year’s Trip With Their Friends, And He Is Furious
This woman has been dating her boyfriend, Paul, for about three years. The couple has also been living together for six months.
And for the most part, their relationship has been smooth sailing. However, there is one particular thing about Paul that ticks her off– he has a serious problem keeping track of important documents.
In fact, she claims that there were four instances in the past when he forgot to bring important documents with him on different occasions.
So, after a while, she took over responsibility and decided to carry all of their documents in her purse.
Why is her adult boyfriend so bad at doing it himself, you might be wondering? Well, her boyfriend apparently just believes that all documents have a corresponding digital version and claims that is enough.
“Not all are digital, like passports, and not all places accept the digital form,” she pointed out, “but he is stubborn and maintains this position.”
And for a while, she really did not mind being responsible for the documents. That was until one random day about two months ago, though, when her boyfriend called her while she was at work.
For whatever reason, he needed to confirm something about his identity that day and was unable to use a digital version of one of his documents. But he realized that what he needed was not at home.
So, her boyfriend called her and asked where they were. Then, she informed him that the documents were still in her purse and she was still at work. In other words, he would not be able to get the physical papers for a short while.

Well, she ended up getting a “huge scolding” because of that, and her boyfriend claimed that the papers should be left at home. He even told her to quit “holding” onto his stuff.
So, by the time she got home later that evening, she handed his documents over and said that she would no longer be responsible for them.
Moreover, she would not warm him about anything related to the papers anymore, even though she was just trying to do him a favor.
Anyway, fast forward to earlier this week, and she and her boyfriend were set to travel out of the country for the new year.
They planned a trip with friends to leave on December 27 and remain on vacation until January 3. Obviously, though, since their destination was in another country, they needed their passports.
So, before every trip, she makes a list of exactly what she and her boyfriend will need to pack for their travels. And for this vacation, it was no different. She even specifically wrote “passport” on her boyfriend’s list.
Anyway, on the day of their flight, the whole group traveled to the airport– which was about two hours away– and decided to get there about four hours early to visit the VIP room. Before relaxing, though, she specifically went to check all of her documents first.
Her boyfriend, Paul, also happened to be there and noticed that she only had one passport. So, he asked her where his passport was, and she just claimed that he had it.
At that point, panic set in, and her boyfriend recalled thinking that she had brought his passport, too. So, it became clear that it was still at home, and Paul was going to have to travel all the way back to get it.
He also asked her to take the trip back to their house with him, but she honestly just did not want to spend four hours in the car. So, she declined, and Paul left to get his passport alone; meanwhile, she stayed with her friends.
Anyway, if you could not have guessed, her boyfriend did not make it to the airport on time. And rather than staying back, she decided that she would not be forced to miss her trip because of Paul’s forgetfulness.
“I turned off my cell phone and made my twelve-hour trip,” she said.
By the time she finally arrived at her destination, though, she had received a ton of messages from her boyfriend. Apparently, Paul could not believe that she would go on the trip without him. He also accused her of purposefully leaving his passport behind as a form of revenge after his “scolding” a few months prior.
And since the flights were all booked up– or way too expensive– Paul was unable to find another seat. So, he likely will not be able to make the vacation at all, and she is being blamed for the entire thing.
Now, she has since given her friends a rundown of the whole situation, and they are completely on her side. But, she is honestly feeling pretty bad about what happened and is starting to feel doubtful about her actions.
So, she has been left wondering if leaving her boyfriend behind after he forgot his passport was a really rude thing to do or not.
Should adults be responsible for their own documents? Do you think it was Paul’s fault for leaving his passport at home, especially since she included it on his packing list? Did she have a right to go on vacation anyway? If your partner did not make it back to the airport in time, would you have gone?
