What??

You said the party is in a few weeks, plenty of time to line up movers


Let me clarify.

I didn't want to write a novel by getting too deep in the weeds.

I told her that based on the closing date, and terms of contract, that he needs to move the same weekend as the party.
I told her that he's not had luck finding a mover that isn't already booked.
Told her that I will try to make the party if possible, but bottom line is if he needs my help I will be there.

You know how moving is, I have no idea how many trips it will take, exactly how long it will take.

To me it's just a friggin birthday party.
It's not ever her party, it's her sisters.

No idea why you can’t do both.

You have 7 days to help him move. Your friend should be literally packing up all his stuff and then he can get his friends to help with the heavier furniture.

“Hey friend, on this day I might have to duck out early for my gf’s sis’ bday party.”
“Okay friend. I appreciate all your help.”

Y’all make shite way over complicated.


This

Tell your friend to get his shite together and prioritize your helping time, i.e., yall move all the heavy shite when you're there.

He should be able to do the rest in 7 days easy.

But it’s easily to identify the stuff that help is needed on.

He doesn’t need help on every last box of misc crap

Like someone else said: it’s really looking like you aren’t really even trying to compromise to find a way to fulfill all your commitments.

And it’s possibly that attitude that is pissing her off.

Yall sound young. Eventually you will learn that what is important to women is not always important to men (and vice versa) and that yall need to put yourselves in each others shoes and try to see the others point. Both of you can have a fair point at the same time.

Like others have said, you need to try to make both work. That means that maybe you start to help your friend move things that can fit in your cars a few days early to cut down on some trips and if yall aren't done by party time then he has to finish by himslef. If your friend can't be flexible enough to work with you on this to get your free labor then he is also being hard headed.
