AITA for not bringing my girlfriend to a football game ?

I recently turned 20, and for my birthday, my parents gifted me a ticket to the PSG-Marseille Classico in Paris.

They gifted me this trip with my brother, so I will take the train, sleep in a hotel, and go to the game with him.

But this left someone else in his life feeling slighted.

Prior to booking, they did not ask my girlfriend if she would be interested in coming, and they did not even tell her about it until I learned about the trip myself. The trip will be a bit longer than 24 hours but shorter than a weekend.

The girlfriend has also been wanting to take this trip for a while.

Side note: My girlfriend was also looking to book this for the two of us, but it was apparently too expensive.

Now, my girlfriend is upset and kind of mad that she is not coming and that my parents didn’t offer to bring her.

But for him, it’s really bringing down the mood.

She doesn’t seem happy or excited for me, and every time I mention it, she gives me an attitude.

AITA for not asking my parents to bring her after I learned about it?

Who would have thought such a great gift could turn into such a source of conflict?

Redditors chime in with their two cents.

According to this commenter, the girlfriend would be wise to remember who the gift was actually intended for.

This redditor says, “Be happy for me or get out!”

It may sting a little right now, but in the whole scope of their relationship, it’s a non-issue.

The girlfriend’s entitlement should really be addressed.

What was meant to be a celebratory mood turned into a lesson in entitlement.

This situation should serve as a wake-up call for the girlfriend: Not every occasion needs to include everyone.
