A woman shared her dilemma on Mumsnet regarding her boyfriend's unannounced visit while she was on a video call for work. Despite making time to check on him and offering to prepare tea, her boyfriend felt neglected as he interrupted her meeting and left upset. The woman acknowledged his fear about his health but questioned whether she should have prioritized him over her work commitments. Many forum members supported her, indicating she was justified in maintaining professional boundaries during the situation.
"I made my excuses from my call for a few [minutes] whilst I said hello to [him] and made him a cup of tea, checked how he was feeling and apologized that I couldn't take more time out of my meeting."
"AIBU [am I being unreasonable] to think that I shouldn't have just dropped everything? I understand that he is scared about his health and wanted more support than I gave him."
