Default need more advice please... what should my friend do?

Ok this is probably going to take a while to explain, but bear with me. I really need to give my friend some good advice. Anyways my best friend just recently started dating this great guy. Not only is he mature, great personality but treats her so well. Anyways she has a kid almost around my son’s age, and he has two, a daughter that is 6 (that is biologically his) and a step son that is 10. btw her boyfriend turns 26 in nov. anyways they went out with some of our friends Friday night for drinks after they had dinner.. during the evening at the bar, her friend had been taking to this guy she has been trying to persue forever. Anyways her boyfriend and her were trying to give her friend advice. He was saying that if the guy didn’t like her or want to be with her, he should be upfront (keep that in mind cause it plays into the story later on) anyways the night went on and my friend and her boyfriend went to her apt… were he decided to tell her that he wasn’t going to go her brothers football game the next day cause he had to work on Sunday, so he was planning on spending sat with his kids. Of course she was upset. She already bought a ticket… and was really looking forward to him going. Which he had been telling her all week he was going, and waited until the last minute to tell her that he wasnt going to go afterall. So the next morning they woke up and she I guess was under the impression that there could be a compromise. . Like he would go with her for half the day and then go spend the other half with his kids. Well she managed to get all up set after he told her he wasn’t going. She said she wasn’t going to go if he wasn’t going. Finally she realized that she was being selfish about asking him to split his day with his kids and whatnot....she came to her senses and told him “look we just started dating, your kids come first. Go spend the day with them… how about we hang out when I get back from the game” he told her “ I promise I will come hang out if you promise me you’ll go to the game” and she promised. Well they went their separate wasy, him to hang out with his kids, and her to her brothers football game. On her way home, she called him. Figuring he was still with his kids, left a message. 10pm rolls around, no call back. So she called again and left another message. Figuring something might have happened or he went to bed early cause he had to wake up and work the next day she went to bed. Sunday rolls around, still no phone call. So she text’s him in the middle of the day telling him to have a good day at work, that she is going tot ake her son to the park and call her when he gets off work. 930 pm comes and goes, no phone call, no text. So again she calls him and leaves a voicemail trying to figure out what is going on (mind you he hadn’t charged his phone in two days, his step son has a condition that could spark up at any moment, his ex is crazy, he was starting to catch a cold, and had to work)… still no call back. Shecalls his house phone (cause he lives with his dad until he can find a place) and the phone rings, and then the answering machine picks up… meanwhile in between all this I am getting sobbing phone calls. I mean I can see why she is so upset. But why would he do that? I mean do you think he is going to call after I mean she got very upset and teary eyed the fact he wasn’t going to go the game. Said she wasn’t going to go… but then decided that his kids come first? She is just really stressing out and there is only so much I can say. She just wants to hear some advice, what do you all think of the situation, do you think he is going to call?he's done this before when he went on a business trip to boston. where he didnt call her for a day or two cause of his phone issue. he def. is not the type of guy not to call her... i mean serioulsy though. and with the advice he was giving her friend... there is no way he would contridict himself and go against his advicehe was the one that told her that he felt so sorry that he couldnt go to the game with her, that either way he was going to be the bad guy in this. whether it was not going with her, or not being with his kids. and she realized that asking him to be with her and not his kids was wrong... and when she freaked out a lil... and then apologized and realized that his kids come first, just like her son would come first if the tables were turned... he told her it was ok, over and over again. that she didnt have to be sorry, cause he understood why she got upset. and that everything was okive told her that maybe sending a text today to apologize for sat and to let him know his pics are in her car. but he's really not the type of guy to allow something this small get to him. i mean she told him she was sorry so many times on sat... that she didnt mean to have him pick between her and his kids. she understands that his kids come first...always, just like her son comes first always... she was just hormonal (PMS'ing)

Your right she did apologise no need to keep doing it. I can understand her being upset though because he did say he would go to the game i would of been pi**ed off too. Look if he rings and i'm not sure he will she has every right to be mad at him. Honesty i wouldn't have someone like that in my life he sound like the type to not only disappoint her but he will do the same to the kids. I know i had a dad like that and vowed never to do that to my kids. I hope this is of some help.
