Exactly. Kind of my point. Do weddings happen on Sunday? Yes. Do "a lot" of them happen on Sunday relative to the total sample size? No.
Girlfriends birthday this sunday..wants to go to a winery at noon.

So yeah, the fact that the OP's lady can go out of her way to settle for one of these Saturday weddings but somehow has to have her birthday fall on a Sunday is surely proof that she is manipulative, conniving, and taking away his manliness in a covert relationship power grab.

How would you feel if you told your wife that you wanted to do something specific on your birthday and she said no, her favorite TV show is on?
I understand a lot of people in here are joking but I don't think all are. The fact that some think their woman is manipulating them, or cheating, with this request is borderline insane. Have a higher set of standards for the people you spend time with.

It's odd that she would even bring up being concerned about having her wedding during a Bears game but at the same time wanting to go to a winery during her birthday. Most people over the age of 5 don't care that they do something on the EXACT DAY of the birthday just as long as they are appreciated and celebrate it.

My wife watches the Voice every time it is on. If my birthday fell on that day, I would never demand that we go out that very night at the exact time her show is on.

And most people who aren't completely selfish, childish goobers don't care about missing a sports game on TV to do something their S.O. would like to do on her birthday.

I don't think OPs significant other has demanded anything. He said she wants to go and he has a choice to make. No ultimatum or demands were issued. The problem here is your skewed view of reality.
Also, if TV is this big in your life that you and your wife tip toe around each others tv schedules I'd offer you this advice: 1) that's not normal or healthy -- it's time for you to both take a break from tv; and 2) get a dvr if the first isn't applicable.

It's not even about TV. It's about respecting what the other person finds important. We both seem to do that well.

And I would venture to say that a weekend is a good day to celebrate a birthday. From what NJ has said she sounds far from unreasonable in their day to day lives so...yeah. You're a 12 year old.

If your wife finds The Voice important to the point you can't ask her to do something at that time...she sucks.

No, I know she likes it. So I decide not to bother her while she watches it.

Except it is, you've both placed such an enormous emphasis on what you watch that you can't bother to be there for the person on the anniversary of their birth.
Yes, most adults can celebrate later with other non-significant others but you should place your FAMILY first and celebrate with them on their day.

LOL. didshe walking around his house on egg shells
Jeebus man. So far what I've gathered is that she dictates your meals and you know to STFU when The Voice is on. No wonder you seem damaged.

Watching any Bear game is important if you enjoy watching them play. It does not matter what week it is.

Yep, and birthdays are important too(to some people, I've dated women who couldn't care less about their birthday). Difference is you have ONE birthday a year. The Bears, at minimum, play 16 games a season.
So yeah..do that math.

My favorite teams
More important than spending time with a loved one? I love football as much as any fan, but if someone I care about asks me to spend time with them on their birthday, watching football will not win out.
