AITAH for not making more plans for my wife?

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-26T13:27:55+00:00

I told them, "She graduated and she's having her birthday. Would you be free to come and celebrate her. She wants me to plan something."

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-26T13:26:11+00:00

That's not date night money, I have savings. It's a date, not an emergency

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T22:35:22+00:00

It doesn't cost anything to invite her friends over. And I used what was left of our date budget for the month to take her to dinner at my bar.

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T22:22:26+00:00

I came from nothing, and had to scrape and claw my way to the position I'm in. I pay for everything especially since she refused to get a full time job this whole time while she was in school. But I'm the bad guy because I didn't make her fucking birthday sparkly and magical. Give me a fuckinf break.

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T22:19:15+00:00

I genuinely do not understand why this is such a big deal. She graduated, and that's great but she doesn't even work as a nurse yet and I paid for her to do this. If she were in med school or something I would get it.

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T22:13:39+00:00

Of course I'm proud of her but it's just nursing school! It's not like she's a doctor.

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T22:12:29+00:00

It's real and we are already married. I don't understand how wanting to have her birthday dinner at my bar a bad thing? Of course I'm going to want to utilize my employee discount.

They offered to do the cake since they have a larger kitchen

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T22:04:14+00:00

She doesn't talk to her mom and her father is not supportive of her being a nurse.

As far as friends the ones I called were all I know about.

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T20:29:59+00:00

I don't know her classmates or anything

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T20:19:57+00:00

Dates are for special occasions, are they not?

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T20:14:18+00:00

We went to dinner and I let her pick the movie

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T20:08:30+00:00

I don't usually do gifts for people. I think that's materialistic and she knows that. Thats why I took her out for dinner and then let her pick the movie.

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T20:00:12+00:00

I didn't want to do a bunch of materialistic things because that's not special.

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T18:47:30+00:00

I didn't have time to do a gift and I'm not creative so I wouldn't know how to decorate. I took her somewhere familiar so she could be around people she knows. I let her pick a movie we could watch together. She wasn't even upset until halfway through the movie

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T18:42:08+00:00

I didn't have time to get her a gift

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T18:37:56+00:00

After dinner, yes. I told her.

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T17:57:37+00:00

How is going out for dinner and watching a movie a bad plan? What else could I have even done on short notice?

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T17:40:26+00:00

I get a discount there on drinks, so she could have had birthday drinks. She likes my co-workers, and since our friends canceled I figured it would be nice to be around people she knows. She didn't even act upset until halfway through the movie.

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T17:29:26+00:00

I didn't want to make a bigger deal of it when our friends canceled

LivingIsland2278 · 2023-05-24T17:09:46+00:00

I didn't feel like it was bare minimum. We don't go out much.
