Input: So I left my mom and dad’s house last night in a big old pissy huff because of an argument that we had on this subject and I’m still angry mainly because I can’t figure out how I feel about this.

I’ve known about my cousin’s wedding for about six months now and my mom and dad went and got my immediate family plane tickets and a place to stay in the town where it’s taking place. I also have been helping to plan and generally get hyped about one of my coworkers’ bachelorette party. We met pretty recently but were really hitting it off as friends and I feel like it has the potential to be a very good friendship. Plus it’s the first bachelorette party I’ve ever ever been invited to and I’m actually super stoked. 

HOWEVER I literally just realized it’s the same weekend as said wedding because I am kind of a poor plan-aheader. I went ahead and told my parents that I may pull out of the wedding festivities and instead send them a nice gift and a message. This is not a cousin who I have spoken with in maybe 5 years save the occasional back and forth on Instagram chat. Of course my mom and sister immediately leapt at my throat, all, “Gee maybe you should uphold the first commitment you made?” I come from a rather passive-aggressive family. 

My dad meanwhile is over here like, If you can manage to get your flight refunded or switched to another trip and then pay me for it I’m cool with it. *But make sure this is really what you want to do.* (ominous dad voice)

IDK, am I the asshole here? I’m 25, don’t feel like I need to be going along with all the things my folks decide I need to do anymore, and sometimes things come up and you just can’t make it. Life is short. Also I have like no female friends and I’m so terrible at making friends. I’m thinking this party, all booze and poor decisions aside, could be exactly what I need in order to stay sane/ not feel so fucking lonely and hopeless. Help? 

**TL;DR:** Just realized my cousin’s wedding falls on the same weekend as a bachelorette party I was just invited to — AITA for wanting to bail on the wedding?

deciding last-minute that I'd rather attend a new friend's bachelorette party instead of my cousin's wedding
