Relationships are about committing acts of service for the person you're seeing, not just doing things if they benefit you. If you're a selfish person who always puts yourself first, then we wouldn't recommend getting into a relationship just yet because you'll always have to take the other person's feelings into account. On that note, we also wouldn't recommend having kids if you're a selfish person, but we digress. In relationships, we sometimes have to do things we're not super excited about because everything isn't about us. In today's 'Am I the A$$hole?' post, OP told us about how he didn't want to go this his girlfriend's boss's wedding on a weekend they were supposed to spend together because he wouldn't know anyone at the wedding. We go to weddings all the time where we don't know people, and it turns out okay. It's called being an adult. Suck it up, dude. Scroll down to read the full story.

    We love weddings, even if we might not know all the guests there.

    Font - My gf (23f) and me (24m) have been together for over 2 years. While i'm finishing my last year of my degree she has started as a physiotherapist at the start of the month.

    Over two years! Very impressive, OP. Now let's hear the problem.

    Font - She joined a group of practitioners in another village which is 2 hours away from where i study so obviously we don't see eachother as much as we used to. Therefore i have promised to keep as much weekends free for her as possible, giving up time with my own family and friends. I don't mind this bc i love her and enjoy spending time with her.

    Font - Recently her new boss is getting married and invited my gf over to the wedding and said that i could come too. Since the wedding falls on a saturday my gf thought i would be coming so she RSVP'd. I am kind of annoyed because i really don't feel like going to a wedding whe i literally don't know a soul and she would know 3 people tops. When i told her (this was like 3 weeks ago) she got mad and said that i already was breaking my promise to her.

    Font - I feel like i did not break any promise, i still kept the weekend free for her, like i told her. She is not obligated to attend the wedding and certainly can't force me to go. I told her she can go if she wants to but that i will be without me. If she wants to spend time together she will not go.

    Font - She still calls me an asshole over this, is still mad at me and brings it up anytime she can which drives me nuts. My mom also tells me i'm in the wrong but my friends think i should stand my ground.

    Organism - Tldr: I refuse to go to the wedding of my gf's new boss because i won't know a soul even though i promised to keep the weekends free for her. This promise doesn't mean i have to do whatever she wants in my opinion.

    Font - shoxford 3 hr. ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [40] Yta - she obviously assumed you'd go because you're her boyfriend and you're seeing her that weekend. It's normal to go to social occasions like weddings together; don't really see your problem

    Font - SamSpayed PI 3 hr. ago S Professor Emeritass [80] YTA. 1. Your girlfriend wants to go 2. It is important for her (professionally) to attend her boss's wedding 3. You promised to leave the weekends open for her, and 4. You have no other plans that weekend.

    Font - Delightful Origins 3 hr. ago YTA. You love her, and know that this is important and unavoidable for her. It's not like she's attending a wedding every week. Learn to think of her interests, instead of yours, alone. Apologize and attend!
