Woman Nukes Own Relationship By Losing It When BF Throws His Brother End-Of-Alimony Party

Not all relationships are great. So when they do meet their bittersweet end, why not pop a few bubbles with your mates and celebrate finally making it through hell?

That's what this man thought he was doing for his brother until his own girlfriend had a meltdown over the situation.

He started by providing the context of his brother and his ex's relationship. Needless to say, it wasn't a happy one.

So when his court-ordered alimony payments finally came to an end it was a cause for celebration. OP had the idea to have an 'End-of-Alimony' party for him.

This would include a week-long Vegas stay with his brother's share fully covered.

As the planning for the trip went on, his girlfriend started expressing some reservations about the situation. She said that she was uncomfortable with the theme but left it at that.

But when she saw a picture of a themed shirt to be gifted to the brother on the day, she had a full meltdown.

After triggering a weekend-long argument, she decided to give OP the silent treatment.

She wanted OP to admit that he was in the wrong and to cancel the trip and celebration for his brother.

OP was confused about the entire situation since it had nothing to do with her.

In a later edit, he clarified why his brother needed to pay alimony to his ex.

He also added that there were no kids involved so no child support payments were being halted.

The shirt that his girlfriend had lost her cool at was that of the Monopoly man with empty pockets.

He did think her reaction may have had something to do with her parent's divorce but was skeptical because of how long ago it had happened.

He then mentioned that he and his girlfriend had the same level of income gap that his brother and his ex had.

Commenters were fully on OP's side.

They even mentioned how divorce parties had in fact become a rather common thing.

Some saw the red flags from a mile away and suggested that OP sign a prenup before getting married.

Some even pointed out how their partners would have been celebrating right along with them.
