Why can't he book one right now? There are a shitload of college kids working as movers in the summer. Dude is being a cheap arse getting friends to do it. Kind of weird you'd rather go carry a buddy's furniture all day than go to a party.

Also, you made the commitment to he party first which is why your GF is pissed. It's not like you'd already told your friend you'd help him and then found out about the party after the fact.

How old is she?

24.

If you're at the age you're still slinging 24 year olds, you'll find one that's more reasonable.

Tell your buddy you need to attend the party so he has X number of hours of your help then you need to bail.

Advise girlfriend you will make the party BUT you "might" show up a little late. Also, bring wine or go a little over the top with a gift as an apology if you do show up late.

If this isn't amicable for both, then your buddy and girlfriend aren't as good of people as you think.


BTW, I fricking HATE moving, but there's several OTers that have helped me move/unpack in the past and I will gladly suggest this same scenario if I had a similar situation pop up.

I cant imagine being a grown adult who can afford buying a house yet being too cheap to hire a few movers. There's local movers in almost any Southern Town who will do it for a grand or less.

I've had to miss nephew's dad funeral, and two uncles funerals because if I missed work, bills don't get paid and I'm out on the street. Starving > funeral. That tells you what I think about your low value gf throwing a millennial temper tantrum over a bday party. Besides, once women hit 30, they celebrate being 30 years old every year after that.


1. 24 year olds aren't millennials
2. Everything I had typed here was insulting, and I'm endeavoring to be kinder these days

This. Your friend needs you and is in a bind. Tell her if roles were reversed youd be helping her move over your friends party.


How the hell is he in a bind? Where in the world does he live that he can't hire some people to help him move?

The buddy's side of the story makes no sense. Who the hell buys a house that you have to be into in a week but then refuses to hire movers?

“Hey man, I’d love to help you move but I actually already have plans that week. If you can set up the moving day on X day, I can make it. Let me know.”

Was that so hard?

It's never just a birthday party.


Yeah, I think it has more to do with the fact that all of her friends will be there with their husbands/boyfriends etc and she will be there alone explaining to everyone that her boyfriend couldn't make it.

Man, I'm about to tell my friend that he needs to speak to realtior/buyers about adjusting occupancy date if he can't find a mover.

He should've addressed that before signing contract.
My immediate reaction with friends/family is I'll be there if they are in a bind.

I think I'm going to tell him I can help if needed, but have to leave by 5pm or whatever.

Now I just don't want her thinking that she bullied me into it.

Plans are plans. If you already have them, you tell your buddy you can as much as you can around other plans you’ve already made

Highly doubt the 21 year old is gonna be sad her sisters boyfriend won’t be attending

She’s ready to get blackout drunk /vomit and text her guys she’s hooking up with and telling them she loves them

It’ll be ok

It’s not like you’re blowing her off to go to a bar or another party. You’re helping a friend move which is a pain in the arse to do alone (experience with that)

She’ll get over it

I’ll give you advice from an old married guy.
I’ve been very happily married for over 20 years. I can count on one hand the number of arguments we’ve had.
To this day, the single event that hurt her more than anything was ditching her work Christmas party when we were first married. I still hear about it to this day.
My advice- go to the birthday party.

Yeah, I think that's where I am at.

To me it's just a stupid party, to her it's a big deal.

Friend agreed to whatever the buyer wanted to close the deal.
He should have thought about mover, not my problem.
I will help as much as I can, and then I gotta go.

you should make an appearance at the party for your own good. And by appearance I don't mean 5 minutes. if your friend lives far away that complicates matters but ultimately you need to be at that party at least an hour. compromise or she will not forget the pain. it's stupid but also important to your girlfriend.
