The 24-year-old’s relationship with her boyfriend, who is one year older, has been going on for three years, we read on the website . The couple has already been to several weddings together. This time, the girl and her partner were invited to the wedding of her best friend from college, which is to take place in June. She confirmed her presence at this event in February. The problem arose some time later, when it turned out that on the same day her boyfriend should be at his friend’s bachelor party, moreover – he is to be a witness to it.
“Am I an asshole?”
I told him he couldn’t go to the bachelor party because we’d be at my friend’s wedding
– wrote the girl. The boy didn’t take it very well. He said he didn’t even know her friend who was getting married and wasn’t going to give up her friend’s bachelor party for some “random wedding”. She, in turn, argued that they had already confirmed the presence, to which she heard that she was not his mother and would not make decisions for him. The couple has already attended several weddings on the part of the boyfriend and none on the part of the girl, which also makes this particular wedding extremely important to her.
– Am I an asshole? she asked on Reddit. There were a lot of comments under the post. Most of the commenters stood up for her, due to the fact that they knew about her friend’s wedding earlier and had already confirmed her presence. However, some strongly criticized her. – It’s important to keep your word. But some commitments should be flexible, as in this case. There are priorities in life,” one user wrote, while another added:
The author should be less self-centered.
What about a psychologist?
“There is no rule in relationships that a couple should always be even,” said Dr. Jayme Albin, a clinical psychologist, as quoted by For News. – It would make the most sense if a woman told her friend that she would be alone at the wedding because her boyfriend was going to an event of an important person to him. So, as adults, they will both support their own friends.
It would be a mistake to force a boyfriend to go to a friend’s wedding with her. Neither the wedding nor the bachelor party should be overshadowed by their relationship.
What would you do in a similar situation? Do you think that the girl is right, or maybe you understand the boy’s perspective perfectly well? Be sure to let us know in the comments.
