He’s Refusing To Go To A Concert With His Girlfriend Because He Hates The Artist’s Music, But His Girlfriend Thinks He Should Compromise For Their Relationship
This man and his girlfriend live in the UK, and his girlfriend loves attending concerts.
Next year, an artist is on tour, and his girlfriend would be thrilled to see this artist perform live.
When his girlfriend heard about the tour, she asked him if he wanted to go to the concert with her, but he said he didn’t want to.
His reasoning was that he despised the artist’s music. Plus, he’s not a fan of who the artist is as a person, either.
“My girlfriend said relationships are about compromise and that I should do it for her, and she’ll obviously do things I enjoy,” he said.
After that, he pointed out to her that he had attended five concerts that she wanted to go to despite him not enjoying any of the musical artists.
He continued, reminding her that they had only done one thing throughout their relationship that he’d wanted to do, which clearly illustrated a bit of an imbalance.
“I told her that I have repeatedly done things for her, but this was one artist that I just would not go and see,” he explained.
In response, his girlfriend expressed her annoyance, claiming that it was unfair that he didn’t want to attend this concert with her.

The concert will be held in another city, so his girlfriend would have to drive there and then stay overnight by herself if he didn’t go with her. She told him that she doesn’t feel comfortable traveling alone to a city that’s so far away.
He suggested that she invite a friend to the concert, but she told him that none of her friends liked the artist’s music, so she couldn’t think of anyone else besides him as someone to come with her.
Once more, his girlfriend pleaded with him to go with her, reiterating that he should feel obligated since she wanted to go so badly. But he told her again that he wouldn’t go to the concert.
“She then said because I’m not going there with her, that she’s canceling our plans this weekend since it was something I wanted to do that she was doing for me, but that she’s not doing it anymore since I won’t do the same for her,” he shared.
Then, he called her “petty,” reminding her how many times he’s gone to events with her that he didn’t want to, in order to make her happy, while she hasn’t done that for him nearly as often.
Over the course of their relationship, the vast majority of the events they’d attended and places they’d gone have been the choices of his girlfriend, not him.
His girlfriend argued these points, but when he asked her to list a time that they’d done something that only he wanted to do, she couldn’t think of anything.
