She Wanted To Throw A Halloween Party At Her Apartment On The Same Day That Her Friend Is Throwing A Party, And He’s Not Thrilled With Her Compromise
This 30-year-old woman has a close-knit group of friends who live in the same city that she does.
They love gaming, they spend a ton of time chatting in Discord, and they also frequently meet up on the weekends to spend time together in real life.
For a while now, she’s been wanting to host a Halloween party at her apartment, and she picked out Saturday, October 28th, to have it.
She has talked about the party to some of her friends, but she has not yet officially sent out invites to anyone.
“Last night, my friend from the group – we’ll call him Luke (35M) – sent out an invitation to his own Halloween party on that same date,” she explained.
“I told him that I was planning to also host a party on that night. He messaged asking if I was joking, and I told him that I’d mentioned it to our mutual friend a month or so ago.”
“Luke told me that he’s been planning for a while as well and asked if I’d like to co-host at his place. He said that 80% of the guest list would be the same people, so it didn’t make sense to do two parties like that.”
She really loves decorating her apartment to celebrate Halloween, and she also adores playing hostess.
She would feel disappointed to not be able to do that. Additionally, she’s been planning this party for a long time, even though she has not officially sent out invites.

So, she told Luke as a compromise that she could attempt to take that Friday off from work and have her party on Friday night.
That way, Luke could still have his party on Saturday. In response to this, Luke mentioned that he was concerned their friends would attend her party and skip out on his since they would probably be too exhausted.
“One of our mutual friends told me that I was being unreasonable and that Luke should be the one to throw a party as he sent out his invitation before me, but we’re over a month away from the date of the party, so I feel that it’s unfair of him to have sent out his invitation so early,” she said.
“Also, I feel like I’ve already compromised by moving my party to the night before so that Luke doesn’t have to cancel.”
“I’ll have to book that day off work to get my place prepped and ready, so I feel like I’m already making a sacrifice to keep him happy, but he seems upset still.”
