re: Would you ask your SO to do this?

Your first mistake is trying to use logic to understand a woman’s decisions.
(This does not apply to all women, just 99% of them)
Women are relational and emotional by nature. They look for the best way to help someone and don’t hesitate to step up - even if it’s volunteering their partners time.
The logical answer for her would have been to tell the client “it’s my birthday and it’s important that I be home this weekend”.
But she wanted to help. So when you questioned her decision, she believed you were calling her stupid. She wants your support and not your judgment.
The emotional answer is how you got to this spaghetti calendar weekend.
Your options are:
1. Apologize and tell her this new job had you tired and distracted and you were not thinking about how fun it would be to have some time together in another city with a paid for hotel room.
2. Hold your ground and let another member of the OT proceed to tell her she is a great friend and worker to do this for a client and then she lets that OT dude PIIHB.
If it makes you feel better, I have a ton of house repairs to do this weekend so I do not have time to bang your old lady. (One less guy you have to worry about)
Good luck.

I mean, you can tell her this. If she can't see this as dumb, then I don't know what to tell you. If you got there early for dinner tonight, then sure. You are literally driving there to sleep and drive back.
This is how I see it and the same reason I wouldn't ask her to do it birthday or not.
I will however still be there, bc I'm not an idiot

Which hotel?
The Roosevelt vs the Holiday Inn is a big difference.
Also if they throw in lunch at Commanders it becomes a bit more palatable.

What other exciting plans did you have?
If the answer is "not driving 3.5 hours", then you need to really think about whether or not you care about this chick. Sounds like she's pretty fond of you.

Do this. Right now. You will get a BJ on her birthday.

What about being on good terms with your woman?
I get it...it's a pain and makes little sense to have the both of you drive back separately tomorrow after lunch 3.5 hours. But, assuming you really like this girl, there are times you do things that you'd prefer not to do because those are the things which smooth the edges. Truth is, the most difficult thing for many people about being in a relationship is the part where you have to give up a piece of yourself for the other person. Some people prefer to always be self interested first. That's not an insult or judgement...just wisdom from having seen relationships that work and those that don't. 9 times out of 10 those that don't are because one or both really do prefer to live the life of a single person and being together is always more trouble than they are up for.
Now...if this girl isn't the one, cut if off and don't go and be happy with however you'd prefer to live your life.

We all do completely illogical, nonsensical, and often times sheer maddening stuff for the sake of our significant others. That comes with being married. However there is nothing that says you can't demand a totally angry sloppy BJ as payment for your sacrifice. Put that hotel room to use.

She’s trying to make sure you arent getting strange tonight. That’s it. Or she wants some hotel sex. Or both. Don’t overthink this.

My friend, this was the first thing out of my mouth. She refused bc she wants to be back in town for her friends pool party tomorrow evening.

So she wants to go to someone else's pool party on her own birthday?
Posted on 7/2/21 at 1:37 pm to Kvothe
No offense, but your SO sounds pretty selfish and awful. I’d break up with her this afternoon.

So she's not having a good time there. This is one of those moments in a relationship the significant other remembers. You driving 3.5 hours to stay the night for her bday to make her trip less shitty. Then day drink and come back for her friend's pool party so she can make her bday also fun with her friends. You come through the clutch here, she should remember and will tell her friends what a great guy she has for saving her on her trip.

The Ace.
Also, I spent the last 2 weeks out of town in training and had a 7 hour drive back to town late Sunday night. I'm just not thrilled about driving there and back within 24 hours. If she had agreed to stay tomorrow night, I'd be excited about.

I'll do it for you, send pics.

She's either giving you one of those BS women's tests, or she's trying to make it a complete pain in the arse so you won't be there.
You know her better than the OT. Your call.
