My wife had been planning her 37th birthday party for weeks. The problem? My best friend was getting married on the same day. I asked her a few times if she could move her party, but she said no, it\u2019s her birthday, and that date matters to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She wanted me to stay for the party, saying it was important for me to be by her side. But I told her, \u201cMy friend is getting married once. You\u2019ll have a birthday every year.\u201d She just smiled. So I went to the wedding. Later that evening, I got a text from an unknown number, to my horror, it said: \u201cDon\u2019t come home tonight. Your wife won\u2019t be there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I panicked and called her many times, but she didn\u2019t answer. I left the wedding early and rushed home to see what was going on. When I got home, she arrived too, just coming back from her party. She laughed sarcastically and said, \u201cI\u2019m glad I ruined your night like you ruined mine. Maybe next time you\u2019ll think twice before choosing someone else over your wife.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was really angry and disappointed. I still think I made the right choice by going to my friend\u2019s wedding. Was I wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
