    My partner's birthday fell on a Tuesday this year, so he decided to kick off the celebrations a week early!

    We had happy hour with friends on Friday, brunch on Saturday, and a pool party on Sunday. Then, on his actual birthday, he wants to go out to dinner at his favorite restaurant (of course, with friends!).

    His main birthday gift is a pretty awesome trip, but since we're leaving two days after his birthday, I don't think it quite feels like a birthday present to him.

    He wasn't thrilled with the food at the pool party and said he would had done something else instead. I was very upset because friends helped decorate, someone baked a cake, etc.

    I may have said some things in the moment about how much effort everyone was putting in and how entitled he was coming across. AITA for calling him out as selfish and self- centered?

    Old Saggyt Biscuits Unless your partner is JLo or 5 years old, his expectations of birthday worship are out of control. NTA.

    timothynellyi21 Omg this I swear some adults treat their birthdays like a week-long music festival and expect everyone else to be unpaid staff. You're

    over here planning events like it's the Met Gala while he's critiquing the pool party menu nah, he can chill. Definitely not the AH, and honestly, you deserve a post-birthday vacation just for surviving that itinerary.

    WhiteAppleRum I, mean, I would celebrate my birthday for a whole week, but it would just be spending time with different people who can't spend it with me on my actual bday, but still want to celebrate with me. I don't make it a whole thing though.

    friends, one was family and Father's Day and on my actual birthday I made dinner and we watched a movie. We usually do the same for his.

    Fresh_Caramel8148 His friends want to celebrate multiple times?? This is weird. Who has all this time to celebrate someone's birthday multiple times? Why will no one- including you- say "no" to him?
  • 26
    eng_elp OP That's my point. No one has this time of time and him throwing a fit every time things don't go his way is annoying
  • 27
    PicklesAndCoorslight Is he expecting you to join him in all this?? If so, that's exhausting and I'd nope out of it. NTA.

    eng_elp OP Funny you ask that. My bday is right after NYE so my celebrations are low key most of the time.

    I understand folks have already used their vacation and money during Xmas and NYE, so I da a dinner at most.
