Today, I was supposed to be moving in with my girlfriend, something we been looking forward to for months. Instead, she decided this afternoon that she NEEDS to spend the weekend in Vegas with friends, but I can still move my stuff. FML

What are the odds that she'd have to travel just when you move in? Has she really been looking forward to you moving in, or just going along with it?

Let her know that this is something you are hoping to be able to do together and you would appreciate her help. If she doesn't want to help, then you might be moving back out soon.

She just let you know her level of concern and willingness to help. Take heed. I see a lot of heavy lifting on your own in the future.

I'd say move all of her stuff and dump it somewhere she can pick it up later and live by yourself like a bachalor should. May I suggest, up her ass?

Well, *you've* been looking forward to it for months. It's clearly not a priority for her.

Unless a great friend of hers has suddenly decided to elope imminently or just been absolutely devastated by a divorce, I don't see what's so urgent about her going to Vegas instead of sticking to moving plans. If one of those things happened and you're not about to be kicked out of lease, I can understand slightly why she might think you could either wait another weekend or move in anyway. For what it's worth, there will be plenty of "fun" left to be had with moving in together regardless of whether she's there for the first day(s) or not. I just hope you don't have a lot of possessions. If you do, that's a bit of a dick move on her part regardless, even if she didn't think she could physically help much.

See, I have a hard time with stories like this because i feel like I don't know anyone who is irresponsible or so whimsical to do things like this. It's not cheap to go to Vegas, as far as I know. How can people do things like this?

Draper is a suburban city in the salt lake area. So Vegas is only a 5.5 hour drive away. People go there all the time from salt lake at the last minute. I know a number of girls who are like that here (salt lake). I think it stems from a lot of family's have like 3-5 kids, so they learn growing up that if they don't do it, someone else in the family will end up doing it for them. So consequently there are a lot of people who are ultra flaky or lazy like the person op is talking about.

You're a big boy, she doesn't have to hold your hand does she?

After which she's coming back to live with you... what's the problem?
