Woman Bans Her Boyfriend From Attending A Bachelor Party, Why So Self-Centered?

Most often, young couples are at odds with their partner's close friendships and friends. On the Reddit space known as AITA ("Am I the a-hole?"), a similar relationship drama has received over 2,000 comments and over 5,000 reactions.

A woman who identified herself as 24 years old said she has been dating her 25-year-old boyfriend for about three years (she did not specify where they live). She claimed that they had been living together for two years.

She said that they had attended two weddings together, both of which were for friends of his from college whom she had never before met. She went on to say that she was "happy to go" because, in her role as "his partner," she enjoys "meeting people that have been a part of his life." This year, she said, "He is a groomsman in two weddings," despite the fact that she soon would be attending the wedding of one of her college best friends.

She revealed that her friend's wedding is taking place in June, and the pair had already responded positively in February. But "yesterday," the woman said, her boyfriend discovered that one of his friend's bachelor parties will take place the same weekend as her friend's wedding. The woman then informed him that he wouldn't be able to attend because of her friend's wedding.

This was not received well. Additionally, the woman said that he admitted to never having met her, i.e., her close college friend, and that he wouldn't skip his friend's bachelor party for a "random" wedding. The woman continued by saying that she is very traditional when it comes to commitments for formal gatherings and that she told him that if they hadn't already RSVPed for him then things would have been different. According to the woman, all she wanted was for her boyfriend to come to the wedding with her because they had already made plans before learning about the bachelor party. But her partner asked her not to act as his mother and to stop making decisions for him.

She concluded, “But now I am wondering if I am being an AH . So, am I?." Meanwhile, the majority of the Reddit community was against woman. Keeping your commitments is crucial, one user advised. But certain promises, like this one, should be negotiable. She just has to be less self-centered, said another person. He convinced her to attend his friends' weddings, but she shouldn't hold that against him because he implied that he was now expected to return the favor.

Each person has their own priorities in life, as previously stated. It is necessary to make sure that no one interferes with the lives of others by trying to persuade people to change their priorities in their favor. Regardless of your gender, controlling your partner's life is a toxic trait, and your controlling behavior says a lot about you as a partner. Without being inconsiderate and overly self-centered, one should allow others the freedom and space to live their own lives as they see fit.
