AITAH if I don’t want to sell concert tickets to go to a hs grad party

I (26F) was asked by my husband (29M) to sell our tickets to a concert this summer.

He wanted us to sell them for his cousin’s high school graduation party.

I bought these tickets back in September of last year with a couple of friends of mine.

We have talked about going to this concert around his family on numerous occasions.

It is not as if it will be a surprise that we have had tickets for that day.

This woman’s husband wanted to sell their concert tickets.

The graduation party was just announced the other day.

I said, “Bummer, we can’t go.”

My husband responded with, “No, we need to sell our tickets.”

He said it would be rude if we do not go.

She thought he was just joking.

I kind of laughed because I believed he was joking at first.

Then, it became quite evident he was dead serious.

I brought up the point that his brother will be at a wedding that weekend.

He will not be there due to a prior commitment.

My husband does not think it is the same thing.

He would rather go to the graduation party than the concert.

He says it is just a concert. He says that this graduation party is a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Am I just that out of touch with reality here?

I had multiple cousins with a similar age gap who were not able to come to my graduation party.

I was completely unbothered.

So now, she’s wondering if she was in the wrong.

I would understand if we had the graduation party on our calendar.

Then, I suddenly wanted to go to this concert instead.

We have been planning around this for months now. We have a prior commitment.

Most people understand when you cannot make it to things because you already had plans.

Am I really in the wrong here?

His family, his obligation, says this one.

Finally, people are saying the same thing.

First come, first served… even on your calendar.
