A Middle-earth Birthday Gone Wrong
So, our birthday boy thought it would be a great idea to spend his special day watching his favorite LOTR trilogy with his girlfriend, who isn’t a fan. As they settled in for the marathon, she spent most of her time on her phone, eventually drinking two bottles of wine and falling asleep. Feeling hurt and angry, he left her place and later confronted her via text. She called him an a**hole and told him to grow up. After some reflection, he realized he was in the wrong for expecting her to sit through 9 hours of movies she didn’t like and apologized. But was his reaction justified, or should he have been more understanding? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this Middle-earth birthday drama… ♂️
