I have been in home state watching my parents dogs, house and business for 3 weeks
My wife is back in Arizona and has been planning to visit me and meet up with some old friends of ours on the 1st.
Unfortunately today her boss told her she can’t get the two days off as paid time off… which sucks.
Plus a wealthy friend of ours wants her to watch her dog the weekend she is supposed to leave, which she pays for very well for.
We are basically missing out on over $500 by her not just staying there (the plane ticket is refundable for credit and I get back in 2 weeks)
I kinda feel she should stay but she wants to come, what do you think? Am I being jerk?
TL;DR – My wife wants to visit me in hometown even though I come home in two weeks and we will lose out on over $500

Do not tell her to stay just because you want her to make $500. Do you even want to see her? Because it sounds like you don’t and that’s what she will think too if you tell her don’t come
She definitely deserves a break and mini vacation
You’ve been apart for 3 weeks and will be presumably be apart for another 2 weeks, she has an opportunity to come visit you and you don’t want her to come?
If your finances are this tight how are you taking this time to dog/house/business sit for your parents from your day job? Could you use the money they should be paying you to help subsidize the 500 dollars she wouldn’t earn?
