Why am I crying when it's obviously my fault (No, not my fault)

I'm crying right now as I type because I cannot go home with my boyfriend for thanksgiving. He had asked me a week ago if I was going to come with him and I told him that I had too much work to do for school that was due right after thanksgiving. I thought that was the end of the discussion. Then he told me that his parents kept asking why I wasn't coming for thanksgiving since his mom wanted to me meet me. I began to feel bad but then he also told me that his other friend was going so it would be four guys traveling together, his brother, his friend and a friend of the family who's mom was like an aunt to him. His Truck can hold 4 people comfortably but he figured 5 would be crowded. So I thought that was the end of that. But it wasn't. he kept brining up the fact that he really wanted me to go and that his parents kept asking. So yesterday, I told him that I would try and let him know today. he said ok. So I let him know today that I could come. But alas, there is no room for me since 5 would be too tight. So now I'm in my room crying because he kept asking me, and mentioning it to me and then telling me it's ok to try to see if I could get the free time to come, and now that I finally have, I can't. So now that I'm done writing this, I'm not crying anymore. I'm pissed. So it's over. Thanks for reading.

I dont quite understand why he would keep bugigng you about going when ther ewasnt even roomin the truck for you anyways. He should have told his mom that you wanted to go but there is no room in the vehicle, that way you didnt feel pressured to go. But instead he kept asking you why wouldnt you go and had his parents keep asking about it. That could have been done and over with along time ago. If I was you I would just ask why was he so persistant if the possibility of you going wasnt even there.

I asked, and he did say that he didn't know. He just figured that I wouldn't be able to juggle my schedule around. he just likes to talk for the sake of talking sometimes. But I just wish that he didn't keep pushing me about it.

Well, I personally do not think it's your fault. You feel sad because you can't go home with your boyfriend, after you've tried making effort to make it happens, right? Is the distance back to your boyfriend's hometown too far? If it's not too far, maybe being squeezed for a while is fine? I understand 5 people in a truck would be a bit crowded, but since you've made your effort to make it happen, and your boyfriend's parents wanted to see you, maybe you guys can just compromise and sit in a truck and go home happily? If things really don't work out, it's fine too. You just stay back and enjoy thanksgiving with your friends. Be happy always! ^_^

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm probably going to spend it with my old roommate. We haven't hung out with a while and she said she'll probably sleep over and keep me company.
