re: Beef with girlfriend. Curious to hear from both genders about who's right/wrong.

Realistic expectations.

You’ve been given a clear sign of coming attractions. Remember this thread if you choose to tolerate her unreasonable expectations.

Your girlfriend or her sister really don’t care if you make the birthday party. The true motive is to use you as protector/driver/bar tab while she gets obnoxious and drunk with her sister.

At your age, you likely don’t realize how rare it is to have and keep a true friend in your life. You’ll see in time. Go help your friend and consider her ultimatum a gift. Don’t blow this.

Your move.
