Hi JC,
Hormones in the teen years have a way of intensifying emotions so situations which are important wind up feeling like life and death.
Hey, relationships are complex, and it takes time to learn about interacting with people.
I'm sorry your girlfriend didn't make time to be with you on such an important day.
My husband and I used to live in Overland Park, and now live in the East Central part of the state.
