Ultimate first world problem scenario right here but I'm really indecisive and need the opinions of others etc. Here's the situation:

I've been invited to 3 different parties in 2 different cities on the 12th of October. I don't know which one to go to. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. Here's the breakdown:

1) Flat warming in Glasgow - two girls I know are having a flat warming and I've been invited. I don't have many friends left in Glasgow because most of mine graduated last year, so this is a fantastic chance to go make some new friends. I could go straight after work and would have a great time. On the down side, my ex will be there and I can't be assed with that but I'd still have a really great time despite that.

2) Flat party in Aberdeen - two of my best friends share a flat and are having a party that night at home. All of my friend group will be going so it would be a nice time to go home for the weekend - go to a party, spend some time with the family, but I would have to take the weekend off work. I have asked my manager if that would hypothetically be possible and he said yes.

3) Birthday party in Aberdeen - one of my closest friends (not part of my friend group) is having her birthday party that night. Every year since we turned 18 I have never been able to go to her birthday parties, either because I've been down in Glasgow or, one time, I went home but the plan changed and it was on a different night instead so I still wasn't there. I feel really bad because this will be the 5th year running I've not been able to attend the birthday party if I don't go - I'd have to take the weekend off but it would be a great time to go home, spend some time at home, go to the birthday party and finally make an appearance after all these years.



The real problem is that if I do go home, I still have to face choosing between the two and I think either one would be great but the host of the other one would be upset if I came home and didn't show up to their event; meanwhile if I go to the one in Glasgow, the birthday girl would be really annoyed (she's been texting me every day demanding I come and it's getting a bit annoying at this point but I know it's only because she really wants me to be there) and I'd miss out on seeing all of my best friends in favour of going to a flat warming where I know some people but none of them particularly well... then again, if I go to the flat warming, I could make some new friends and get to know people a bit better, and it's convenient in that I can just go straight from work and I won't miss anything...


What should I do!?
