Moai Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Ok, my sis is going to Tonga to get married. She wants me to go, and has offered to pay for me to attend. All of that is fine. Now I find out that she wants the trip to last 17 days! For me, 17 days is a long time to be gone, and I don't want to be gone that long. Now she's upset, and using every trick in the book to make me feel guilty about it. Am I wrong? I don't care about Tonga like she does. I mean, it'll be cool to check it out and all, but it wouldn't bum me out if I died and had never been there. There is nothing to do, and I'll be hanging out for two weeks with people with limited English skills (I know zero Tongan) staring at the Pacific Ocean. I want to be there for my sister, for sure, but I think 10 days is a little more like it. I have other things that I'd like to do with my vacation time, too. Oh, and this is here third marriage, and I wasn't at the other two. Didn't hear about them until they were over. And we are close, it's just with the wedding chapels here you can get married in 45 seconds. So, I think some of this "my special day" vibe I am getting is a load of crap, too. Am I being selfish? Or is she demanding more than she should? Link to post Share on other sites
Fun2BMe Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Am I being selfish? Or is she demanding more than she should? You're not by any means being selfish. She is being overly demanding. Ten days is a lot for you to give to her, especially since she didn't care to invite you for her other 2 weddings. Maybe for her fourth wedding you can do more for her since she at least invited you to her third. Link to post Share on other sites
