37-year-old boyfriend insists his 33-year-old girlfriend pay for him to go to Japan with her and her friend, despite her fully paying for him to go to Japan in 2024: 'He got angry and said it was unfair that I get to go and he can’t'

Life isn't fair. This can be a difficult concept to wrap your head around if you're a little kid and you notice your sister got a slightly larger slice of birthday cake than you did, but by the time you're in your late 30s, you should have a firm grasp on the idea. Little kids have a right to be upset about life being unfair because there's very little they can do to change the circumstances of their lives, but if you're 37, you have a choice in whether or not you make your life better. If you're bummed because you make chump change and live in a horrible apartment, you can decide to work two jobs or try your darndest to get a better job so you can move up in the world. It won't always be easy, but saying "it's not fair" won't do much for a guy.

The guy in this story doesn't think his life is fair because his girlfriend won't fully finance his trip to Japan for the second time in two years. She fully paid for his last trip to Japan, but that's not enough for this Romeo. He's a regular Veruca Salt, screaming, "I want it now!"

My 31-year-old friend has asked me to come to Japan with her in October and my 37-year-old boyfriend is saying it’s unfair if he can’t go and I want to know if I would be the bad guy if I decided to go and would I be selfish if I did go?
