6 months from dday and R is going as well as it possibly can. My 40th bday is coming up soon and the weekend of I'm reluctantly spending out of town to celebrate something for her brother.
We arent that close to him, needless to say they wouldnt be coming to me if it was a celebration for me. I'm not looking forward to it all all considering the very long drive, the hassle with kids and pets, and the fact that i'll be spending my 40th bday somewhere I dont want to be.
When it comes down to it, I'll come out and just say it, my wife should make this first birthday one to remember. I'm a bit upset that I will be somewhere I dont want to be not matter how much of a spin she wants to put on it. That weekend should be all about me, not her brother. Yes, I know thats incredibly selfish, but I'm doing something in my life right now thats so incredibly unselfish that I deserve to be happy on my bday.
I've already told everyone I'm going since I was pretty much pressured into it. I just dont want to go. I'd even take spending it away from my wife if it meant me not going.
Am I being childish here? Is it so bad to want something to be all about me after giving so much for everyone else? Just wanted to get some opinions on what others would do.
