Am I a Bad Person

Given the rate folks are popping out kids these days, chances are the next time there will be another baptism or, worse, your boyfriend's best friend's niece's godchild will celebrate her graduation from kindergarten. You may be old and gray by the time you finally get to do your AOW.

On an unrelated and completely personal note, I think people should wait till their kids can make their own decision whether they want to be part of any type of cult in the first place, but that's just me and has nothing to do with your original question...

It depends on the relationship with your boyfriend. If it's a casual, social relationship then you simply have an honest open discussion and then decide.
If it's a deep, loving commitment you still do the above but add the following equation:
The things that are important to your loved one should be as important to you as your loved one is to you.

Okay....Here's the deal...I'm all ready to take my AOW class. Find out that the instructor I want to take it with is offering it in August.

Being the good girlfriend, I check to make sure the other half doesn't have something going on. He suddenly recalls that it's his best friend's baby's baptism.

I passed on taking AOW last summer because it was said best friend's wedding.

So the dilemma...diving or duty... I know which one I *want* to choose...

If the other half was going to a ballgame, hunting, the races, etc. and you SUDDENLY recalled that it was your best friend's blah blah woof woof, would he cancel? Is he making you choose? Will his "feelings" be hurt? If not, then don't make it an issue, just go diving. If yes, then don't make it an issue, just go diving.

Interesting thread...

You could be really bad and dive PLUS have a beer afterwards.

So you two have gotten to the point of having the "Mute" function working

Glad that it's all working out! And that it is a love that you both share!

Your boyfriend's a wuss.

I meant this thread in good fun - we've all had things to do when we'd rather be diving... so let's keep it that way every one
