What ever you agreed to first has top priority, dumb arse. Your friend can't just expect you to drop every thing you're doing to help him move on the most convenient day for him. Hopefully your GF sees you not having any balls as a red flag and she drops your bitch arse.

1) Why is the sister having a 21st bday with her family. She should be getting shite blasted with her freinds at a college bar
2) You made a commitment to both your gf and your buddy. Keep them both. Help him during the day then go to the party in the evening
3) Show up to the party late so your gf doesnt have a complete win. Use that as a litmus test to see how she handles a reasonable compromise.
4) Once the dust settles from this ordeal, explain to her that you're the type of person that will prioritize helping friends and family in a bind - even if it means missing out on having fun or attending a meaningless social obligation like a birthday party. If she can't respect that, then tell her to take a hike

Its actually a fantastic teaching moment for her. Its a damn birthday, and its not a child. Its a grownup.

its not important at all.

Trust me, I lived the out the "always putting her first" life and it isn't worth it. No matter how much I gave she always wanted more. The more you give in the more she will walk all over you. I guess it all depends on the woman.

In this case I think helping a friend in a significant bind is more important than a birthday party. Especially since the friend helped him move before.

Do you really think the sister will be offended that he can't attend her party? The girlfriend is being selfish and he should help his friend in need. Just my 2¢

sisters flip coins after to see who gets which sister first.

You should know by now that you are never in the right.
This particular time you actually are not right.

Not reading through 12 pages to see if anyone has made this comment, but I've never EVER heard of a seller getting to stay in the house for a week AFTER closing. Very unusual at least in my extensive real estate experiences.

Your wife needs to get over it. She can have fun without you at the party. (I'm female)

Two weeks is the norm where I live.
I was surprised the first time a realtor told me that in many parts of the country that it's occupancy at closing.
I thought "what if something goes wrong at the closing and you've already moved out" ?

But I can see the inverse.
People saying "once I own the house I don't want people living in it and possibly damaging the house".

My wife ran off with my best friend.

After ten years I still miss him.


Yup! It was a tough deal dividing up the shared hunting hunting and fishing equipment that we had bought together. He kept the boat motor and I got most of the decoys and fishing tackle etc.

I kept the kids, car, house, etc. She got the bus ride.

Didn't realize how good of a friend he was until he took her off of my hands.
Never saw him again for years until the day we sat side by side in the pew behind her then latest husband at her funeral. (She was the mother of each of our children so our attendance, along with them, was mandatory.)

I do my spring tillage by driving through the cemetery each spring so that she can roll over in her grave.

Found a new and better woman and we have been happily married for nearly 59 years. There are good ones out there that don't think that they have to control your life and are simply happy to share it with you.

your gf needs to grow up.

it's great to give the women in our lives the attention they deserve. entirely different if they're constantly up to some type of effeminate manipulation. i'd just break up with her right now. if a women is still behaving that way into her mid to late twenties, it's probably too late for her to grow into an adult.

Once the closing statement is made up and the closing scheduled it's rare for anything to go wrong at the closing, and if it does it can usually be remedied...buyers aren't likely to back out on closing day or something. Conversely, if the seller stays in the house after closing and then refuses to leave, the buyer now has a serious legal issue evicting them. Especially in my state where laws are far more in favor of tenants.

Why can't you go to the birthday party, and help your friend move?

It's not like birthday parties last an entire weekend, and if he is counting on just you to help him move, he's screwed anyway.

I agree that birthday parties for adults are not important, but it's shitty to back out of obligations you made to others just because they're not that important to you. If you care about that person, you keep your word because it's important to them. This would apply if the situation were flipped and he made the obligation to his friend first.

If you didn't think it was important enough, don't agree to go to it in the first place.

I'm shocked at how many women are saying "Help your friend move."


Lol. If I had to choose between helping someone move and going to a birthday party, I would pick moving every time. But there is also another thing to consider. Do you really want your girlfriend to think that you are going to cave every time she blows a gasket? If you give in now, you can look forward to a lot of misery. Do you really want to find yourself at a bridal shower eating tiny cucumber sandwiches and making small talk about engagement rings?
