<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

Background:
We are both 25 and have been together for almost 3 years and we moved in shortly after our 1 year. Our relationship has been on the rocks for the past year because we have the inability to communicate. We are currently in counseling to try and get past these issues.

Problem: One of his longtime friends (longer than our relationship) is having a birthday party the same day as our anniversary. He agreed to go. I am hurt and upset because he agreed to go before discussing it with me. I was willing to make a compromise, I am just more hurt that a compromise wasn't thought up before he agreed to go. In addition to this, he just switched jobs. His last week at his prior job, he decided he didn't want to go, and he doesn't get paid for awhile (point: he is broke until the end of the month.) So not only are we now going to his friends party for our anniversary, but I feel totally gypped on our anniversary altogether because he will be broke, due to his own unwillingness to go to work, thus I will be broke, having to pay for mutual bills (so I can't pay for a nice dinner or anything)
<bot>: Our Anniversary got screwed because of his longtime friends birthday party and a lack of money due to him choosing to not work. I feel like I am taking last place when I should be higher up on the importance scale.
