My girlfriend’s(early 30s) birthday is on mothers day weekend, and we’ve made plans to celebrate with dinner and drinks on Friday, followed by going out with her friends on Saturday afternoon/evening. Sunday is her actual birthday and we will be with each other for most of the day, but she has something planned that afternoon since its mothers day.
The issue is that I run a small business(im mid 30s), and this is our busiest time of year, so we’ve started working Saturdays. When I told her I might be working a bit on Saturday but will still be there when we meet her friends, she was still upset about it because she didn't feel like a priority. When I reassured her that Friday would be special and Saturday will be a lot of fun, she responded by asking why my first thought was to reassure her about about Friday night and Saturday evening and not try and get some of my employees to cover Saturday.
I was thrown off a bit when she said that because she knows how busy work is this time of year and that I only found out the orders came in less then 30 minutes before talking with her
I then tried to tell her that I will look into what exactly I have on Saturday and can find out if someone can work instead of me she answered with its too late now that should have been your first thought and not her mentioning it so we should just celebrate Friday the two of us and she will go see her friends on Saturday without me, I told her that I would definitely be done before she meets up with her friends and she responded with no its fine your working..
Am I in the wrong here for not thinking of taking the day off or is she being a little unreasonable?
