Who is right?
I can’t even believe I am about to tell you all that my husband and I are at each other’s throat over a hypothetical Justin Bieber concert but here we are. I want to preface that this really isn’t about the hypothetical concert, but about the principle of the situation.
I am 28, my husband is 37. My sister is 21 and her girlfriend is 22. Not only is my sister my BFF, but we grew up in the “Belieber era”. We have always talked about how when he goes back on tour, we are going. No questions asked. I am fairly well-off and my sister is barely making it by. I haven’t said it out loud, but if the time came, I would 1000% buy her ticket to go with me. Anyways, last night I made a comment (because we were watching random music videos) when Justin Bieber came on about how I couldn’t wait for him to go back on tour so my sister and I could go. My husband then said he would want to go. For context, my husband is a war veteran and is constantly on edge. He has really bad anxiety and last time he was picking up my sister and I from a concert he made us miserable because “we didn’t stay where he told us” and went on and on about how Los Angeles is unsafe. I get that LA isn’t the safest area and I’m not an airhead, it’s just the way he handled it that was not okay.
Okay back to the story. I told my husband that my sister and I just kind of wanted to go alone, like a sisters thing. He was hurt and we argued about it but I stood my ground that he didn’t even like JB and not wanting my sister and I do to things alone is toxic. I made a passing comment in the argument implying that my sisters GF would be there. All hell broke loose. My husband said he’s being excluded and if I went to a concert with my sister and her GF without him, he would be irreparably hurt. I think that’s ridiculous. He kept saying that she would bring “her partner and I wouldn’t bring mine”. I feel like it’s different because she is younger and gay. It’s like 3 girls going to hang out. It’s not like she’s bringing a husband. Then my husband told me I was sexist and he’s being excluded because he’s a male. He kept trying to compare the situation to him, his brother, and his brothers wife going to a concert and I couldn’t go.
Don’t come for me…but yeah I would be hurt lol. For some reason, I feel like all of the context makes it different. The type of concert, the age gap, the fact that she’s gay, etc. Also this is so dumb, but if I had to pay for another ticket, we wouldn’t get as good of seats lol.
Please don’t flood me with comments making fun of me for blowing up over a Justin Bieber concert lol. I know it sounds ridiculous. Again, it’s really the principle of the situation that caused the problem. Not the hypothetical concert itself per se.
