I really loved this girl but we had always had a different appreciation for the concept of friendship. My friends are as close as family. I've known them forever and would do anything for them. She never really had that growing up and she also "hated" more people than she liked.

Anyway we were living in a big city and a group of people happened to be in town from our home state. These were not my really close friends, but they were cool, familiar acquaintances that were tight with my best friends back home, who vouched for them 100%. I wanted to show them a good time in the city so I figured I'd take them to a big party being thrown by some friends I'd met through my SO. The party was going to be huge, 70+ people spilled out across a duplex apartment and their rooftop. I told my SO the plan, not expecting it to be a problem whatsoever, and she immediately shot it down. My visiting acquaintances would not "fit in" at the party and would just "stand in the corner talking among themselves." I kind of laughed it off at first and said "Oh come on" because a couple of these people were extroverted to say the least and I figured she was just being nervous or something. But she was dead ass serious and refused to reconsider. She did not want these "hometown" people at her hipster city party. Finally I tried phrasing their inclusion as a personal favor that I'd get her back for (you know, the kind of stuff that loving couples do for each other) but she still wouldn't budge. I thought about just going around her and asking the host of the party directly if I could bring them, which I knew she would say yes to, but I didn't want to be catty. Instead I then had to make up some excuse for why the visiting acquaintances all of sudden couldn't go to the party and we ended up just playing Edward 40 Hands in my tiny apartment.

Our relationship was kind of dying in the months before that but that was the final straw. I could not help resenting her for being so unaccommodating and pretentious, and also just for refusing to do me a solid. I broke up with her a few months later because she was suffocating my social life.
