My wife's 10 year reunion is this weekend. Out of 100 people in her Bum Fuck Texas class, 20 have RSVPed. 20!!!! I have to put 800 miles on my car and spend hundreds of dollars to see 5 people that she liked 10 years ago (but didnt like enough to ever call or see any other time in the past 10 years mind you) and 15 people that she was merely ok with. Her good friends are not going for one reason or another. Trying to find SOMETHING good in all of this, I did what any man would do and I looked at the RSVP list. None of the currently hot chicks are going, only the fugs so I dont even have anything to lo look at. Fucking stupid shit waste of fucking money. |
| I graduated with 7 and in another country so I don't have to worry about that. It's amazing how people go 5 years without so much as a text message, but are back to being 16. It really annoys me. I've been drug out to one for my wife so far, and I am not looking forward to the rest. |

STFU. That's what being married is all about.........doing shit your spouse wants you to do AND YOU DON'T!
Smile, take lots of photo's, have a few cold ones and find some guy to talk about chicks, guns, gambling or sports. I'm sure she does lots of stuff that you want her to do. Maybe you'll get a nice BJ if you behave yourself. |

Got my 20th coming up in a few weeks … Just looking at it as an opportunity for my lady and I to go get a hotel room for the night, slip away once the festivities get stale and screw each other's brains out on someone else's furniture.
Nothing quite like hotel sex.

He could just stay the hell home and do that! |
| How about you just plan to do something that you will enjoy on the trip as well and just have fun with it. The class reunion is just for a couple hours, everything else is your time. Is it really worth getting that upset over? Unless you think being pissed off and resentful will make the trip go much better... |

My class didn't even bother, we only graduated with 23. The people who I liked back then I still keep in touch with and see at least semi annually. Why waste money to see the other fuckers I could give a shit about? There were 8 of us and I did not care to talk to any of the 8 after graduation. They probably did not care to talk to me, either, so it works out. |

Gunshops? Go with her. That said, I won't go to my 10th reunion. I talk to who I want to talk to. From my graduating class, that's few. |
Man if Bum Fuck is 100, I graduated at a half-a-bum-fuck high school with only 52. 
I agree. We had our 5 year a couple years back. There were less than 20 there, myself and a couple guys I used to run around with drank and bullshitted over to the side while the others awkwardly played washers and shit. I GTFO. I won't be attending another. My logic has always been it's going to be A) people telling me how great their life is or B) losers not doing much of anything. I don't care to talk to either. 
I won't be going again. |

Never went to mine, but I did get to hear amusing stories from that night...
Like how my former HS buddy tried to hook up with a married former classmate. They drove to an after party while she's calling her husband "I'm staying at Susan's house tonight...". They're chatting it up at the party and he thinks he's home free. He steps out to have a smoke and comes back to find he's been beaten to the punch. "I opened the door and all I saw was Steve's ass in the air, going up and down...". This guy was such a horndog his whole life, but he was beaten at his game. Too funny.

Is it fun to go to your spouse's reunion when you know almost no one there and have no memories to dust off? No.
But, it's your wife. Put on a smile and do it because you love her. It's not like she's come up with this tradition all on her own. You're little rant basically amounts to you arguing that she should not go because how you feel about her reunion is more important than how she feels about her reunion. It's her reunion and she wants to go. That's all that matters. She doesn't need you raining on her parade. Suck it up and go. And make it a good night for her instead of taking every opportunity to show her what a good time you aren't having. |

My class graduated 42 in 1998. Anyone I want to see, I can see any day of the week. Everyone else can jog off. We had a 5 year reunion. Went to a Catholic HS, so they had a whole shindig and mass at the school. Mind you, they also have the reunions for other classes at the same time. Needless to say, I skipped school and went straight to the bar. When I got there, everyone who went to the reunion was everyone I'd normally see at the bar anyway. So it was even less of a big deal. |

Class of 1993.
Funny story: I got word of the 10-year class reunion exactly one hour before it started. I lived 2.5 hours away. I happened to be 5 hours away - helping my brother-in-law move. Everyone else learned just an hour or two prior to the event. Yeah... there were three people there. And those three never liked each other in HS, and still don't - so the "party" lasted 15 minutes and then everyone left. |

The inability to see that this should be 100% about how his wife feels about going to her reunion is a bit shocking. Evidence of why the divorce rate is so high? Perhaps. You have to give up one weekend every 10 years or so to do something for your wife that isn't fun for you. Oh, the horror and injustice. |

Trying to find SOMETHING good in all of this... You get to go to Texas. What's bad about that? My class reunion sucked. The half dozen party girls volunteered to be the planning committee and we (foolishly) let them. The party was at a dive bar 80 miles away from the school at the beach. The girls may have graduated, but they never really got out of high school. They've been living at the beach, working part-time jobs and partying non-stop for 10 years. Think of five Snookies, all in the same place. Awesome, right? Plus, tickets were $50 for an open bar at a place that only served Bud and Bud Light, which were only $2/bottle. We didn't even buy tickets. We showed up, found the people we actually wanted to hang out with and went to the DFH brewpub. I picked up the entire bar tab for 8 people and it was still less than the $100 I would have spent on tickets for my wife and I. Next time we do this thing, we're not letting the Snookie crew plan it. |

I was my HS class president. Reunions are a pain in the ass to plan and advertise. I graduated in 1992, and we've only had a 10 year reunion so far. It went pretty well; 80 attendees (including spouses) out of a class of 142. I'm one of the few people who has actually left town. I'm hoping that things like facebook will make reunion planning a bit easier and help us get the word out for our 20 year. |
