AITA for canceling my wife’s bday plans?

So my birthday is coming up. Last year, my wife threw a big surprise party for me. I am not a big birthday person. Didn’t complain – but saw it coming and didn’t really want it.

He wasn’t fond of the effort she put..

Pretended to be surprised and had a good time regardless and appreciated her. However, it was way too expensive. I told her next year I don’t want to spend any money.

I’m more of a low key guy. Ordering in food and watching a movie would be ideal for me. She also does not make much money right now, so we really rely on my paycheck (she’s almost done law school).

He knew it wasn’t a good idea!

I really didn’t enjoy paying the credit card bill after last years party.

I will go all out for her. I enjoy gift giving and planning things. However, I just don’t want her to spend money on me. If I need something, I’ll just buy it.

He wasn’t approving of this idea…

Anyways, I find out she planned a whole day in the city 2 hours away at a fancy restaurant. This means I gotta drive two hours there and two hours back (she’s scared of driving in the city).

She also bought expensive tickets to a show and a few gifts.

He wants to save up!

Am I TA for saying to cancel the whole thing?

I prefaced weeks ago to not spend too much money on anything. We have two expensive trips coming (Italy for her graduation).

UH OH…

This situation might not end well. Why can’t they figure out a middle ground?

There’s nothing that communication can’t fix.

They just need to talk things through.
