My first post didn't get much traffic but thank you for your advice.

Previous post: 

Quick rundown was that my bf was being an arse about spending Xmas with my family, even though they get on, just because. I was after a bit of advice on whether to try a bit more or give up.

Now:  My bf was being so frustrating that I told him not to bother to come. He went away and came back later and said he wanted to because he realised how much I wanted it. I told my parents and all was good. 

Haha but not really. The last few days have been a range of "I'm doing this for you so you should do this for me" and "if you don't do this then I won't do that". I went along with it though I had that feeling that told me he wouldn't end up coming. 

And he didn't. He woke up this morning in a huge grumpy state. It took me an hour after the time he said he had to get up to get him to get out of bed, literally 15 minutes before we had to leave. He then had a mad dash shower and got dressed whilst bitching that I was making him do something he didn't want to. I told him over and over not to come but he just kept complaining and getting ready. He then ended up sitting and crying that it was all his anxiety, despite telling me numerous times it wasn't over the last few days. 

I'm not convinced. I know him and I think he was just trying to find a way out that meant I'd feel sorry for him. After his behaviour this last few days I feel like I'll have to rethink things. He has been childish at best.
