Exactly.

Make a brunch reservation or dinner reservation for her and all of her friends on her birthday and organize it all. Send flowers day of.

And take her out before the trip.

@ marrying a woman who gets upset over something as trivial as a birthday dinner

Go the week before or the week after

A friend of mine is having his bachelor party the weekend of my wife's bday. It will be the first set of birthdays for us since we've been married. I am standing in my friends wedding so I am not sure what to do. Didn't know if first sets of birthdays are a big deal as a newly married couple.

What say you OT? Should I go or is the birthday thing a bigger deal than I think?
This isn't the a-hole tough guy reply, as I never play that role, but...

If your wife isn't understanding of the situation and not ok with doing something the night before(or the next weekend) and the day of before the bachelor party starts, that's not a good sign of things to come IMO.

If she's upset to the point of you deciding to skip the bachelor party just to appease her...not good.

My point, yea. If that is that big of a deal that she'd make an issue out of it, that's just a really bad sign of things to come based on her neediness and high maintenance levels.

I haven't even approached her about this yet. I was looking for advice and seeing ppls thoughts on the situation.

I dont know your wife, but ask yourself this question

Is she ok with you getting a lap dance on her birthday? If the answer is no dont go.

Just remember that if you do go everytime you get in a fight it will probably be brought up.

Anyway it goes remember that most guys will not hold a grudge if you miss a bachelor party. Take the dude out for beers the week before to make up for missing.

Celebrate her birthday the night before you leave for the bachelor party. Have something nice delivered to her on her actual birthday and make sure to call.

Good thinking, don't talk to your wife about stuff, go to the ot instead first, kinda surprised you've made it this long.

Chances are you won't be close friends with that guy in a few years if you end up having a successful marriage

I can tell who is whipped in your relationship. A fricking birthday? Who gives a shite. How old are you 12? Do you take off work on a Tuesday cause it's your birthday?

I don't think this would be an issue with me and my SO. We would goto dinner a few nights before her bday, presents and D. Then I would goto the Bach party. She would go out with her friends for her bday.

Gotcha. Have an entire plan in place, let her know you can do her Bday the night before or the entire weekend before/after, and of course, maybe something she's not expecting as well, not that it's necessary, but it shows you care lol.

If she's adamant that you skip the bachelor party, buckle up, and good luck on the marriage!!!!

You're certainly correct. I know the OP hasn't brought it up so maybe not his wife but in general, the issue is marrying someone who does hold a grudge in a scenario like this, that's a red flag IMO.

If your wife is a normal, sane human being then she won't care if you take her out before or after.

The fact that you're talking to the OT and not her doesn't exactly bode well for your marriage. Communication is key to any relationship

Or maybe the thought that your wife will literally use this ammo against you for the rest of your marriage. I'd rather avoid an iceberg.

No matter what you do, your wife will always remember that you were at a bachelor party on her fricking birthday. If you think she won't pull that card in the future is borderline stupid. Women are crazy.

Edit: And even if she IS okay with it. Her friends will convince her you are tPOS.

So sure okay all you OT badarses (yet some of you have a fricking divorce thread every week).
