After explaining to her boyfriend that she does not enjoy big parties, one woman suggested that the couple goes on a break to Napa to celebrate instead.
Alongside this decision, the woman told readers of Am I The A**hole that she had booked tickets to visit her friend who had moved across the country so that she could attend her daughter’s baptism.
Only after booking the tickets did the original poster (OP) realize this was the same weekend as her boyfriend’s birthday. Upon discovering the mix-up, the OP’s boyfriend was upset and asked her to change her plans and stay to celebrate his 40th.
The plan seemed to be set until the OP spoke to her friend, who was sad that nobody she knew would be at her daughter’s baptism, just her husband’s family, friends, and her mother.
Feeling like she was letting her friend down, the OP decided to use her plane ticket to take an early flight to the baptism and told her BF they would go on their trip another time.
This did not go down well as he had already taken time off work and wanted to celebrate his birthday (she had also noted that she and her family have never been big on birthday celebrations).
