Going out with friends on Birthday

Is it wrong of me to want to go out with my friends on my Birthday rather than going out with my live in boyfriend? I know I would have more fun with my friends but I don't want to cause any problems with the boyfriend.

Can you go out with your friends and your boyfriend together? For my and my boyfriend's birthdays this past year we had two celebrations each that we both attended: one with friends and then also a private celebration.

I would ask but my friends don't like my boyfriend.

Welcome to the board heathersdream,


Best question you can ask yourself is "if the roles were reversed, how would you want it handled?"

Can you go out one night with the bf and one night with the friends?

Maybe the real question you should be asking is "why don't my friends like my boyfriend?"

I agree with this advice even though it wasn't exactly the original question.

OP, there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to spend your birthday with your friends, but neither you nor they seem to like your boyfriend very much and you may want to take a look at why.
