Me (21F) and my boyfriend (21M) are in our final semester of college and the dates for a very important seminar presentation have just been posted. The dates have been assigned randomly and I by luck got assigned the as the last date. My boyfriend’s date falls exactly a week before mine. This is where the problem begins. He has to attend a wedding the week of his presentation and would likely miss it if he cannot exchange it with anyone else. He asked me if I would be willing to exchange with him but I told him no. I am a very nervous public speaker and I was very relieved that I got extra time to prepare. And in the week of his date, I have other deadlines coming up so I would be extra stressed over all that. I suggested to him that he can try with the other person having my same date, or try with people on the week before him. Generally people are more okay with postponing than preponing. But the thing is the week before we have our internal exam and project review. So he is not willing to do that. He thinks I am the asshole for not doing something so simple as helping him out in his time of need. I could do it… but I was just for ONCE looking forward to present with less stress as I am feeling very burnt out. Any advice is appreciated.
