Concerts v Relationships Have you ever been in a position where you had to choose between attending a concert or a current relationship? Which did you choose and why?
Looking back whenever I chose the relationship and not the concert, the relationship eventually ended. So now I have concert regrets like whoa, even though I loved the people I was with? I thought I was making the right choice because the people were my boyfriends and the performer/band was just the band.
Now I'm old and regretting not choosing the concerts because my relationships were disappointing as hell.

I quickly got over the awkwardness of going to shows alone .. ones in small venues and once I even went to a stadium concert alone and was on the floor. I just want to hear the music and I'd rather go alone than drag someone who doesn't really want to be there OR not go at all. Going to the stadium concert alone was actually very liberating .. and I met a bunch of people to hang out with who loved the music as well. Sure, it's better to share a concert with someone but if you don't have someone to go with, never miss a show and go alone! Show your heart to me. | |

If someone you're in a relationship makes a fuss out of you pursuing interests such as listening to live music, to hell with them. They either need an attitude adjustment, or they're just not for you Music, sweet music, I wish I could caress and...kiss, kiss... | |

Yeah. That. Don't quite unterstand how attending a concert can have an effect on a relationship, unless you go to every concert on any give tour. | |

I was thinking more along the lines of making a choice between seeing a concert and an optional event (not a graduation ceremony, but going out to eat) celebrating a life milestone. I was raised to drop anything and everything if it even sort of inconvenienced people I cared about. I missed a TMBG concert because I went to a dinner celebrating my then bf's graduation. (A disaster, LMAO. )
Dude was very paranoid. He totally freaked when I went to different groups and would be completely ill at ease. I ended up losing an entire friend group mainly because he took the most extreme paranoid view of things possible and blew up the group with a feelingsmail. I only realized he was isolating me when I told him I had been in a minor fender bender and I exchanged insurance info and he started spinning stories about how the cops would definitely arrest me and take me to jail.
Weirdly my brother is the opposite. He's actually told family members he couldn't attend my grandmother's funeral because he had tickets to a game. He wasn't playing in it and it wasn't a playoff game it was just a game.
