Boyfriend going on a stag do on my birthday

[Scribbleonapagee]

Yesterday, DP informed me that the stag do for his friend is set for the weekend of my birthday. He apologised and said that’s the weekend that most people could do and it’s not up to him. But he is the best man, if he told his friend he can’t do that weekend then I’m sure he’d have changed it! He can have his stag do any time, I can’t change the date of my birthday.

AIBU to be annoyed/upset at this?

HE is the best man !!!

Best man typically has quite a big say on location, budget and activities. If the groom is adamant that he has a stag abroad, he should be checking that his best man is in a position to do so, or choose a different best man.

Just think it's crackers to spend what in all likelihood is about 3 weekends worth of overtime, with a new baby, where mum is struggling and getting little respite.
