Then she should show love to her husband and let him go. So he is supposed to show it but she isn't?

She will be embarrassed if you let her go by herself.


This is IT in a nutshell. She needs to be more secure with herself.

quote:

People will ask her where you are....this will be very embarrassing for her.


Again, it is about being embarassed for her. If I were her, I'd say, "Hell, he's at the LSU/Bama game. Wish I was there too but gotta be there for (best friend's name) but that doesn't mean both of us need to miss the game!"

quote:

If you want your wife to feel that way you need to learn how to love your wife better.


This is kinda true. As a woman, you want to feel like you are the most important thing in the world to your husband. But I really think he can make it up to her. This isn't HER event, it's her being supportive of a friend. She needs to make her husband feel loved and let him go to the game.

As a woman I say....GEAUX TO THE GAME!!!

Scheduling a wedding on the same day as LSU/Bama game is just asking to get insulted by all of your friends and shows complete ignorance of the culture in LA.

Go to the game and have your wife send you wedding updates by phone. It would be a shame to miss one of the best wins in LSU history!

When did she first realize the schedule conflict? This wedding has been planned for more than 6 months so you should have told her when the BFF first announced the wedding date that you wouldn't be there because of a schedule conflict.

As everyone else has said, you'll regret it if you cave on this one. It's not her sister or a relative...she will get over it.

And while her not talking to you now, this too shall pass...unfortunately.

Some of us women "get it." I wouldn't dream of making my boyfriend come with me to a wedding the day of an LSU game let alone Bama. Last year was my biggest wedding year, and I ended up missing two home games (seriously...what Louisiana native schedules a wedding during football season?)

And no, I was never for a second embarrassed to be stag. The only person who should be embarrassed is the bride for making poor scheduling decisions.

This is what wives do. A skill passed from generation to generation. It's up to you to stop the cycle.

I have missed 3 out of the last 5 LSU/Alabama games. I was a groomsman in 2 weddings and my son was in the hospital for the '10 game. Obviously the last one couldn't be helped, but I had tickets to all 3 games and would have skipped the weddings if I had it to do all over again.

I am a wife, under no circumstances do you go to the wedding. My husband doesn't ask for much, from August to January, I don't give a frick if its my mothers funeral...he is not missing football saturday (or march madness but I digress). If you give in now it will be every dumb arse festival, wedding and baby shower....it is ok to tell her no. If she is such a high strung needy bitch that she stays mad....expect it to end in the next few years....go to the game and get some strange.

This is exactly what I think. I might add, if her friend is stupid enough to plan a wedding the weekend of the Alabama LSU game, and then is silly enough to get upset, she needs to get her head out of her arse. When you plan a wedding and you want people to come, you plan it on a day that you know the people you want there will come. All of my close friends have said..."I am thinking of this day. What do you think?"

If the wife is getting upset over her husband not going to a wedding and the friend doesn't care, GOOD LORD. I and all of my friends have gone stag to plenty of weddings. It's really not a big deal to just tell people... "my husband couldn't make it, but he sends his regards".

If the best friend is the type of bitch that would schedule her wedding in the middle of football season in south Louisiana, you aren't missing anything. She'll probably be pitching a fit when she realizes half her guests aren't coming. I know a girl that got married the same night as the Saints/Eagles playoff games back in 06. She had to rent a big screen TV to get guests to commit to coming.

Stoorm out of the house and get yourself arrested by taking a swing at a cop.

You'll be on bail for the game. Go to the game.

Your wife will not bother you about not going to the wedding because she will know that you are a bad-arse who is NOT to be trifled with.
