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

The one with the coochie is always right

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.
I don’t understand why you’re insisting on making this a bigger deal than it is. Don’t tell your buddy to do a god damned thing. Just let him know that you’ll have to duck out for a few hours on whichever day because you have a prior obligation. Let him do with that information what he will.

I will help as much as I can, and then I gotta go.
This is the correct analysis.
Your friend got himself into a pickle. Hopefully he has other friends.
I see people on Facebook asking to do side jobs. Saw a fireman offering side job help the other day. You might find some big old college boys to help.

It all depends on how long term you view your gf. From her perspective you aren't helping a friend, you are choosing your friend over her.

o 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, to me it's a stupid party.
To her it's an important event where she wanted me there, for me to meet some of her friends/family that I've not met before.
I've met her immediate family, but there will be friends and family there that I haven't met and she wants to introduce me to them.
I guess that there are events like this that mean a lot to women, but to men it's just a silly party.

frick her sister, help your friend move. Problem solved.
Posted on 7/29/23 at 5:28 pm to Ernest T Bass
Man up and tell her if she has a problem, next time you move, she pays for the movers or her sister plans on doing some heavy lifting.
If neither of those things are happening in the future, she can shut up and like it in the present.

Almost a year.
I've met her parents & sister.
It's not like this was some big event out of state where I was supposed to meet her family etc, that would be different.
You made a commitment to her albeit it seems a rather small one in most people's perspective but not hers. The battle here is you both feel like your commitment is more important and that is a normal feeling. Being that you have met her parents and siblings I don't see why she couldn't make a compromise.
My wife and i almost ended our relationship in college over 12 loafs of bread and the chi omega house. Take that for what it's worth.
Good luck

Just tell your friend you have to go to a party for. Few ours then back to helping him
Posted on 7/29/23 at 5:40 pm to Ernest T Bass
She's not pissed at you going. She's pissed because in her mind people will spin this into some drama and she will look bad. It's about her social standing

Don't need to read. You're wrong, you're always wrong.

Old married lady here. If she plans to introduce you to friends that you haven’t met before, than she’s trying to get a feel for how you will fit as a couple into an existing social circle. She’s thinking long-term. Don’t take the attitude that she bullied you into complying. Bring her some flowers, and let her know that you didn’t “get” why it was so important for you to be there. After she has some time to consider, she may come to appreciate how dependable of a friend you are. I suspect that there’s a way for you to create a win for everyone involved that weekend, but you have to let go of thinking of it as some sort of contest or challenge to your manhood first.

The only iron clad excuse for missing an event is if someone is stupid enough to schedule it during an LSU game.
Posted on 7/29/23 at 5:46 pm to Ernest T Bass
This isn't about the birthday party. It's about if your gf has control over you.
Help your friend move.
Your gf reminds me of my ex-wife. Don't let her get over on you. Trust me.

Are birthday parties for adults such a big deal now? Usually birthdays are big deals for kids, teens, and maybe for some who are up their in years or survivors of something or who have serious illnesses. Is her sister like 12?

If you either said you were going to the party or if you made her assume that you were going, you better go to the party
