 Man Asks if He’s a Jerk for Going to His Best Friend’s Wedding Instead of His Wife’s Birthday Party

Well, this sure sounds like a conundrum, doesn’t it?

This guy seemed to be on the fence about going to his wife’s birthday party or his best friend’s wedding.

What’s a man supposed to do?!?!

Check out his story below and see if you think he made the wrong choice.

AITA for going to my best friend’s wedding instead of my wife’s birthday party?

“My wife is turning 30 and has planned a big birthday party with her friends and family, unfortunately my best friend has also got his wedding on the same evening.

I have picked my best friend’s wedding as we are very close and I do not get along with my wife’s family.

My wife is now furious with me and demanding that I do not go to the wedding, but I can’t go back on the commitment I made to my best friend.

So, am I the a**hole for going to the wedding anyway?”

Now let’s see what Reddit users said about this.

One person said made a good point about the timeline here.

This one is easy for me. Birthdays are every year. Weddings don’t come along very often.

Choose the wedding.
