I (24F) feel upset at my boyfriend (25M) for not being flexible with plans to go to an amusement park on a day I can request off because part of that day is reserved for meal prepping.

So this might seem very silly but it feels like I am second choice in his plans. We’ve been together for 2 years now. He reserves one day a week to meal prep on Sunday mornings to save money for lunch at work. I work every weekend as I’m in the food and bev industry. He has a regular 8-5 schedule and always has the weekend off. I had some friends who were able to get us tickets for a cheaper price but are only free sat-sun as well. Saturday’s are the busiest days so it’s hard for me to request off. Sunday’s are much more doable. For him, being “flexible” would be having a short day at the amusement park from like 3-9pm on Sunday. I think that’s a waste of money and want a whole day. I offered to try for Saturday but he was still very annoyed and said this is one of the things he didn’t like about me. We got into an argument because if the roles were reversed, I’d just meal prep on Saturday night. Or buy food Monday for lunch and meal prep after work. I get it that he’s tired after work and has hobbies. I get it that he’ll be tired at work the next day, but it’s worth it to me. He says I didn’t plan this with him and just said Sunday. But when I first told him I’ll get tickets for us, he said he can maybe request a half day on Monday. I’m not trying to have him stay out late, maybe no later than 10 pm, but it just seems really ridiculous that meal prepping has to come first. In general, he doesn’t really like spontaneous decisions or things that interferes with his daily schedule. But I told him over a week in advance. Am I not being very understanding of? Am I only thinking about myself? Would any guys be able to give me some opinions?

TL;DR! I feel like a second choice in this relationship because my boyfriend doesn’t want to give up meal prepping for one day to go to the amusement park.
