It makes sense that someone would want to see their friend who's only very briefly in town. But the fact that she was upset that he had a nice birthday without her is a little cause for alarm. As commenters stated, what did she expect him to do, just sit in a chair in the dark all day and have a bad time? The reservations were still good, man. For an intriguing moral quandary, here's the customer who bought their own ranch to spite a pizza place owner.

My(30M) wife(28F) and I had made reservations at this really nice Korean BBQ restaurant for dinner. My wife is 4 months pregnant. However, her friend wanted to hang out with her and had called her the night before my birthday. My wife said that this was a childhood friend of hers and that she really wanted

    Font - I got really mad at her and instead of waiting for her to return home to talk things out, I asked my friend if he would like to hang out with me. He was fine with it so we spent the day fishing, grilling, hiking, and went to the Korean BBQ for dinner. When she came home after spending time with her friend, she apologized to me saying it was an unavoidable circumstance. I told her that it wasn't a problem and that I spent the day with my best friend. She got mad that I'd take him to the re

Seems to me SHE's actually the one being controlling; she doesn't prioritize you on your birthday but then wants to say you shouldn't continue with your plans, with your friend in her place? She would have preferred you sitting at home waiting for her, on your birthday? That's really not very nice.

    Font - Emotional-Cabinet826 · 22h 3 I'm confused. What did she expect you to do, sit at home and cry? NTA. Your wife is the assh 'e. She didn't need to visit her friend that day, she didn't need to stay out all night and come in the next morning. That's weird.

    Font - emmakobs · 22h Partassipant [1] NTA. This is a no-win situation. You can't hang out with her OR your friend on YOUR birthday? What were you supposed to do, stare at the wall like a Sim until she got home? Silly.

    Font - AcceptableHome3 · 22h Asske Enthusiast [5] I may be missing info but it doesnt really sound like you told her who she should be spending time with at all. You two had made plans, she wanted to cancel, on your bday no less, to hang with a friend, you provided ways she could do both, and she chose to do what she wanted. You chose to celebrate your birthday with someone who wanted to celebrate with you, theres nothing wrong with that. Like at all. She ditched you on your birthday, is now fee

Demand a paternity test :( 584 Reply Share Report Save DarkChii - 19h I don't usually like to jump to saying this, but she is 4mo pregnant and put this "friend" before her husband. For piece of mind you should have the baby tested before you end up on the birth certificate OP.
