I (27F) am dating (28M), who’s birthday was on Monday. We were supposed to go out to an extravagant birthday dinner since he had spent a lot of money on my birthday earlier in the year. He earns a lot more than I do, so I could only do so much, but still. We have been together 2 years

Well on the day preceding when we were supposed to go out, I noticed my cat had what appeared to be a cyst in her eye. It had appeared overnight and looked very painful and bad. I drove her 2 hours to an emergency vet open one Sunday instead and got some eye drops but there’s a really big risk she may lose the eye. She hasn’t been eating because of the pain and I was really worried so I cancelled dinner and decided to stay home with the cat, telling my partner we can reschedule it for another night and that he’s welcome to come over and look after her with me.

Well, he got really upset and said he had taken the next day as a vacation day already (he was planning on getting drunk) and that the waiting list for that particular restaurant was 3 months and they won’t have his favourite seasonal special on then so I was being incredibly selfish and a mega asshole.

AITA?
