AIBU to want to cancel

13 replies

My boyfriend hit a landmark birthday recently. Initially he didn't want to do anything much but at my suggestion he's organised a celebration tomorrow night. It's snowballed so that now there are a lot of people coming, some of them are travelling from quite far away and it's seems like it's going to be big.

I'd already booked a hotel for Saturday for us. It's a train ride away and is very expensive. Now that his party has become bigger than expected, I think I should cancel hotel and go another time so that he can enjoy the party without worrying about us travelling on Saturday with hangovers or not enjoying ourselves because we're exhausted.

The thing is, he doesn't want me to cancel. He says he'll be fine and he doesn't want to get that drunk anyway. But it's his birthday, lots of people are coming, I imagine things will go on late and neither of us will want to travel.

We've already had a lot of back and forth about it and he's holding out. AIBU to keep trying to make him see sense or should I just give up?

Give up

Give up. He's said he still wants to go.

Just go and enjoy it. He’ll be over any hangover by then and you can follow up the party with friends with a lovely night just the two of you. Sounds like a great birthday weekend to me.

It’s his big birthday I would let him decide.

How old are you both that you'll be too exhausted to get the train to a hotel after 1 late night?

TheBeastAwakens · 25/01/2018 20:51

It's more the hangovers whatshallidonowpeople. We both tend to get carried away and suffer for it the next day.

Then don't get carried away? Have some willpower and a lemonade instead!

What is the latest you can leave it to cancel without charge?

MikeUniformMike · 25/01/2018 20:55

Go. Enjoy it.

Tomorrow lunchtime NewYearSunshine

Willpower and lemonade sounds like the sensible option ... but it's his birthday ...

Don’t get carried away then! Confused

Up to him to decide, I'd say. It's his birthday. You can have a lie in next weekend.
