let me just say... im pretty calm about this, maybe because I don't believe he will do it but at the same time knowing that he might actually do it. so clearly im putting faith in the fact that he wont.

my boyfriend has gone to new York the past couple years to visit a friend and go to Electric Zoo. I don't go - no biggy

this last time he stayed with his friend ryan, had a great time and told ryan that he sould come to our state for a new years festival that we have here every year.

we have done this New Years Festival 3 years in a row, this year it has become more popular and more massive with much younger immature crowed, which is cool but with it being cold, expensive and also prone to a lot of dust which leads to getting sick for days after wards I opted to not go this year. as well as a lot of our friend in out town.

well ryan is coming and planning to go. and now my bull says he feels "obligated" to go for ryan.

he told me yesterday that he is picking up his tickets, I hurt me a little, but I told him "ok - but if you go I don't wanna hear how sad you are while you watch ryan kiss his girlfriend as they ring in the new year "

he told me he is already kind of sad, and feels obligated. he is in limbo with it all.

and I said " I don't know babe , im not really the right person to help you with this issue because you having trouble picking ryan over me. which frankly sucks. but I guess ask yourself who you see yourself spending new years with? Ryan at the festival or me not at the festival. but like I said I don't wanna here about how you should have done this, are sad because of that or rather of had this. - its not fair to me "

he ended the conversation by saying "I understand" and change the subject to talking about the vacation time we want to take for 2019

no im not trying to tell him what to do. so im no making a stink out of it. I think he should be smart enough to know I want to spend it with him and I also think that its important for me to reflect on his actions if he chooses to ditch me on new years. which happens to be our anniversary on the first. so the kissing a midnight has more sentimate then just ringing in a new year.

what do you think? am I suppose to make a stick out of this? or do you think he thinks I don't care what he does?

I will say this I think he knows im feeling a little ache in my heart. I personally kinda distance myself from things that hurt me. so my conversations have been pretty short because im not really into talking. also I was suppose to stay at his place lastnight but he gets off late and I was tired. so I went to sleep and didn't really make the effort.

I don't know.

I feel like, in lots of post as well as things that he has said. I feel like I really have pushed him to be and do what I wanted for our relationship. NOT THAT I THINK HE ISNT HAPPY, AND ENJOYS THE LIFE WE HAVE CREATED TOGETHER. but he is also so resistant. he has no imagination when it comes to what he wants for us..... it seam <----

but I believe me being a little pushy has only propelled us for a future. its been two years and we don't even live together yet so we aren't that deep in the rabbit hole but I don't think I take anything from him so far by doing this. I truly believe I add value to his life. but hey that's just me. and recently during an argument he said to me " all over our fights are always bout the progression of our relationship" and that hurt me and kinda pushed me to feel like I should stop including him the my manifesting. in my visions. in my choices for my future. that I should maybe start doing things with only me in mind.

I think this is the process people go through when they start to dirft apart.

thoughts? and please be kind.

why not just say "stay here with me. we'll have fun." and then do something stupid to make him laugh.

your relationship sounds very serious.

and don't say you aren't trying to tell him what to do...

" I don't know babe , im not really the right person to help you with this issue because you having trouble picking ryan over me. which frankly sucks. but I guess ask yourself who you see yourself spending new years with?

He’s between a rock and a hard place though isn’t he? I’m sure he’d like to be with you but if his friend is travelling to see you guys it would be kind of a jerk move to ditch the guy.

Could you just go out closer to midnight instead?


I could be all true. or partial true.

obviously my bull didn't start talking about this until I had already made my mind up and two weeks until D-day.

way to be last minute on his part. also I don't think his friend is coming to see us. because if that were true we should be able to see him any time while he isn't at the festival. breakfast, take him to the airport. grab lunch. yeaknow. I BELIEVE his friend is coming out here for the PARTY first and formost. this is a huge event for our state that is well known all around the country for the EDM scene. but yes. heeee for sure if feeling torn, as he should.

now this is a 2 day event and the tickets currently cost $ 270

the festival is from 4 - 3am and all after parties require you to have a wristband. so if we don't go to the festival we cant get into the after parties. also he works until 10p at night. both night. he cant get outta it. so he would spending $ 250 for 4 hours. that doesn't sound worth it to me. which I have explained by he doesn't care I guess.

but hey I guess Ryan 1 - Me 0 you say.

muah ha ha

yes yes im a little manipulative with my words aren't I.

I mean I think that's the perfect way to be helpful to him, show him I don't personally want him to go, and let him know if he chooses him over me that he should not do the following or he will make it worse.

everytimes he goes out without me and he ends up says "I wish I was with you" - once he even got emotional because I choose not to go out one nice. nothing major could have also been a little too much to drink that made him emotional but I mean this is why the man is so confusing.

why do you get emotional when i didn't go out on a regular shmegular night but choose to ditch me on new years when everyone is expected to kiss someone they choose as they jump start the new year. its sounds like regret if you ask me.

i pretty much positive he will regret it. and that's why i said don't tell me nothing when we are breaking in a new year not only for us personally but also for us as a couple with our relationship at separate places, with separate people.... sounds like a good way to start our 3 year together.

If the midnight kiss is so important to you... Go to the Festival. He's obviously very torn about what to do and I would just make his decision a little bit easier on him. And not make him feel guilty or bad. Plus this friend came all the way out for this Festival it really wouldn't be fair to ditch him


i want to honestly. i would totally go if i was MO MONEY MO PROBLEMS. but i also want to save my money. its financially irresponsible for me to spend 250 on tickets when i have other goals - like travel, summer vacation for my son and i and also the big one im trying to buy a house in 2019.

ive been there and done that with decadence.

if he wanted me to go so bad he should buy it. lol - i would never ask or expect that tho.

@sagittariusxo - last minute? NYE doesn’t change date from year to year and you’ve done this 3 years in a row.

I’m not saying you should be last priority but there are a few things he has to think about. Either way you should tell him straight up what you want him to do. Don’t say you don’t mind if he goes then be upset when he does.


i ment last minute to tell me ryan was coming, last minute to tell me that he wanted to go, last minute to tell me he was buying himself a ticket. its is all not thought out.

i mean let me last month before i spent a grip on all your gifts that you wanted to drop 250 on festival tickets and i could have made it happen but Christmas is past and im broke with my bills due on the 1st per usual.

there are so many other things to do in out state on new years, with our friends when to go to a festival for one person. that person is going to have an amazing time with his girlfriend either way lets not kid our selves. and we should still be able to meet up before or after if it is that important. but hey that's just how i see it.

i cant afford a ticket. i don't want to go that bad either.

he does, he might and that will be his choice. especially if he is looking at from your perspective. which i guess i can understand but will not really lol

Why can't he go out with Ryan, show him a good time, and then come home to you after.

Your the one who opted out when you had both gone in the past so it makes sense he would've thought you were up to going this year. His friend is visiting and nye is about ringing the new in with your loved ones.

I honestly don't see the problem here.

Encourage him to have fun with Ryan. But don't drink too much cause on the 1st your mine kinda deal.

recently during an argument he said to me " all over our fights are always bout the progression of our relationship" and that hurt me and kinda pushed me to feel like I should stop including him the my manifesting. in my visions. in my choices for my future. that I should maybe start doing things with only me in mind.


Ouch.

Serious question...have you guys talked about what the future looks like? 1 year from now? 5 years from now?

And if yes, are you on the same page.

im not upset.... meaning fighting with him about it. this isn't a deal breaker for me and him and our relationship. it does cause a feeling of worry that i wont get to have what i want for new years, it does kinda put an ache in my heart that this memory will be one we wont share together. and it also makes me feel a little irritated because its FUCKING BULLSHIT THING TO EVEN CONSIDER. - hahah just kidding.

but seriously ryan has his girlfriend... and my boyfriend is going to be third wheel... ALSO his girlfriend - ME - is going to be looking hot per usual (lol 😛 ) with people other then him. no saying i would ever disrespect him or his trust but knowing he is protective. he is going to regret it

and im going to be hurt by it that he made a choice that he regrets and cant take back

it depends on how much stock you put into ny's. there is no wrong answer.

@ LadyNeptune

yes. i mean actions and words are still kinda funny.

there are times i really need the reassurance he i wont get it.... unless i corner him and make him speak which is never the appropriate times. or i will get the reassurance in acts or words that he does at ransom time and ill be forces to try and recall that moment in time im actually needing reassurance.

he knows what i want. he knows my vision and what im work toward. what i see.

he reassures me he isn't going any where and he loves me with all his heart often.

but like i said he as no imagination. he never paints me a picture of his life with me because... fuck if i know.

all i know is that he loves me, he wants to build a life with me... in fact he says " i thought that's what we are doing" when these comments come up. but communication is not up to my level.... im a women with many thoughts and hes a man that "it goes without says" if that made any sense.

i know we are solid.... currently.

but i also no things can change because we are humans.

i mean, its not the world is ending to me. its just not what i want.

if that's what he wants, that's his choice. im not going to be waiting around for him at home tho. no way.

i want to go out too just not go out to a festival. last 3 years i got really sick from breathing in all the dust.

also. he knew i want wanting go in june when tickets were the cheapest and when i asked him if he wanted to go our not and talked about it. he made the choice with me originally. just recently it changed.

Why don't you go with him then? I would feel the same as he does probably. Friend comes to your state after few years to see what you're so worked about all the time and you ditch them-that's very unfair to me and I'd expect my SO to go with us, regardless on different plans we had before. And would be offended if he refused to go as well...


he just saw this person in September for a week when he went to new York

i have mentioned why im not going with all over this board.

and also his friend isn't coming for him, he is coming with his girlfriend to party. this isn't a 20 year reunion lets calm down a little.

Did you have existing plans that he is ACTUALLY ditching you for and choosing his friend over you?

i see what you mean but this is who i am .

this is how i communicate. you see it as being paternal. WHICH I AM A MOTHER SOTHERE IS THAT.

but i see it as me really really wanting you to understand where i am coming from and also letting you know what i feel and need. i am not just selfless but also selfish, im not interested in someone acting like they had no idea how i felt and i don't want people to hurt me so im going to tell them everything i can to make them understand.

trust me i know that this is how some people view this characteristic about me.

consider me wise beyond my years or an old soul. but i really do try to be conscious of this and still i cant change it.... i will always make people think this about me, if i cant help it at any point andi have to imbrace it

I read what you wrote-honestly not a valid reason to me. Ok his friend is coming with his girl but invited him still? Probably counting on that you will go as well cause you said you did the same thing past years but this year it's a bog deal not to go...I stand by his side still and think you should go with your guy regardless, he has exact same reasons to be offended by you refusing to go so try to look at it from different perspective. If he was to want to go somewhere without even thinking about taking you with him I'd be against him but not in this story. But it's your life and your choices. I'm only pointing out he has same right to feel bad about it too and you don't seem to be considring his side at all

i think the difference comes from he wanting to behave like the young man he is and party and hang out with his friends at $ 250 for 4 hours and her wanting to be a responsible adult and wanting to put the cash to bills and house deposit while finding alternative entertainment for the night.

both and either could compromise here. it's just that neither want to enough to come to a solution.

Tell him you want to give him the ny kiss but can't afford a ticket. Lets see if he buys yours.

Than just buy a sparkly face mask to rock all night

it's really whatever works for you. if this works for you then there's no need to change that.

i personally wouldn't like to be in a relationship with a manipulative (your word) parent-like partner. it doesn't work for me which is why i am probably more sensitive to it. if your guy isn't sensitive to it and that communication works for the both of you then you've found a good match.

reasons im not going .



i asked him in june when tickets were cheap if he wanted to go - we both made the choice to say no

i spend a lot of money on xmas and i don't have $ 250 to spent on tickets. honestly it would be financially irresponsible of me to buy the now with my bills due on the 1st. he just put this on me last week and is jumping the gun without me. he hasn't asked me to go. he is only telling me he is going. he hasn't begged me or even included me in the option. so there is also that to consider. i have goals for myself. we already booked and planned a festival outta state in march im saving for, also im trying to take my son on a good vacation this year as well as buy a home. im not interested in starting off the year broke or dipping into my savings.

but its going to be what it is.

im not breaking up with him about it. but im sticking with the the game plan. we had good reasons for not getting those tickets in june when they were $ 150.00 and being a couple days away we have even more reason why its not a good idea.

Ok so I'm not spending nye with my dude.

Every year he and his buddies drive out to the middle of the desert. Burn xmas trees. Shoot guns. Off road. Piss in fires. Freeze at night. You know, manly stuff.

He wanted to bring me and the pup but my back/health issues right now aren't ideal and I want to wake up on the 1st hungover in my own bed, not sleeping in the back of a truck bed.



So compromise, right?

He gave me all 4 days over the xmas holiday. I'm giving him to his friends over the nye holiday. But hes driving back early am on the first so I can get some new years d i c k. Non negotiable fine print.

Why don't you go with him then? I would feel the same as he does probably. Friend comes to your state after few years to see what you're so worked about all the time and you ditch them-that's very unfair to me and I'd expect my SO to go with us, regardless on different plans we had before. And would be offended if he refused to go as well...


he just saw this person in September for a week when he went to new York

i have mentioned why im not going with all over this board.

and also his friend isn't coming for him, he is coming with his girlfriend to party. this isn't a 20 year reunion lets calm down a little.

I read what you wrote-honestly not a valid reason to me. Ok his friend is coming with his girl but invited him still? Probably counting on that you will go as well cause you said you did the same thing past years but this year it's a bog deal not to go...I stand by his side still and think you should go with your guy regardless, he has exact same reasons to be offended by you refusing to go so try to look at it from different perspective. If he was to want to go somewhere without even thinking about taking you with him I'd be against him but not in this story. But it's your life and your choices. I'm only pointing out he has same right to feel bad about it too and you don't seem to be considring his side at all


i think the difference comes from he wanting to behave like the young man he is and party and hang out with his friends at $ 250 for 4 hours and her wanting to be a responsible adult and wanting to put the cash to bills and house deposit while finding alternative entertainment for the night.

both and either could compromise here. it's just that neither want to enough to come to a solution.

Wait what? $ 250? For a night? Wtf? I didn't see that part anywhere! Damn right would save that money instead of wastinf for auch nonsense. Never saw that costs that much, I was about the fact they should follow each other in given cirrcumstances, didn't quite know following costs so freaking much :/ in that case yup I completely agree, he's guilty as charged lol

Posted by sagittariusxo

now this is a 2 day event and the tickets currently cost $ 270

the festival is from 4 - 3am and all after parties require you to have a wristband. so if we don't go to the festival we cant get into the after parties. also he works until 10p at night. both night. he cant get outta it. so he would spending $ 250 for 4 hours. that doesn't sound worth it to me. which I have explained by he doesn't care I guess.

Yeah he's working hard at school and work, all his free time he spends with me or family. So I get it. Go! Be young with your friends.

He took me for a surprise weekend getaway week before last so right now he can do no wrong lol.

If the midnight kiss is so important to you... Go to the Festival. He's obviously very torn about what to do and I would just make his decision a little bit easier on him. And not make him feel guilty or bad. Plus this friend came all the way out for this Festival it really wouldn't be fair to ditch him


I was about to say this. You can't make him choose and you say you don't want to but really you are by guilt tripping him. Just go with him to the festival if you really want to be with him.

If yoi read on its $ 250 a tix. That's def steep...so i guess she just has to leave it be

Are you trying to see why he’s choosing his friend over being with you? I feel like you have it figured out already, but since it’s not working in your favor you feel the need to ask about/talk about it.

I do see a lot of your points though. That wouldn’t sound fun to me either because of the time, the cost, and that it makes you sick afterwards. On the other hand, Taurus are not really the, I only want to be with you, romantic types (to me.) The friends they choose usually mean a lot to them and they stay loyal.

He seems to get you upset a lot!!

@Saggitariusxo.....

Why didn't you ask him to pay for your ticket, or go half on your ticket?

Most Taurus men are usually generous with their girlfriends (especially if you told him that you were strapped financially).

1. Did you tell him you wanted to go but you were financially strapped?

2. Or that you didn't care to go, and the festival just wasn't your scene?

What's REALLY bothering you?

Ryan is taking his girlfriend, and your boyfriend isn't taking you?

You mentioned her (Ryan's girlfriend) more than twice, I didn't understand the constant reference.

Another way too look at this....

You're trying to control the situation in a passive-aggressive way.

Using Ryan's girlfriend as an excuse to 'guilt-trip' him not to go....referring to him as a 3rd wheel.



You're not even thinking about how the two of you could spend time together BEFORE and AFTER the festival.

The NYE ball drops.

He comes home.

Forget a NYE kiss.

Give me some NYE hot action.

Get creative.

The Taurus in my opinion, is being a good friend.

His ducking friend came WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND!

So they can go to a festival and come see OP and her stupid BF AFTER the fucking festival!

I would have this BF a history and wish him to fuck Ryan...apparently Ryan is a such a good friend who wouldn’t understand...of BF want to be at festival more then to be with OP which SUCKS!!!

Happy New Year 🎆

That Sag Taurus quincunx

When you guys gonna learn that the sex ain’t worth the constant bs.

There’s a pattern.

He knows you won’t push back so he acts like his single and prioritises his mate over what is a special time to share with your significant other. Sorry if that’s harsh but I see it all the time.


totally accurate.

the bs is for sure bs but I don't see it as constant in the grand scheme of things/

I couldn't because I'm poor. and so many other valid reasons.

but there has been a turn of events

a pretty weird and out of know were offer was presented to me by a very unlikely person.

I met my bull on the same night I met another person, and that other person very breifly dated before things ended and my bull and I really started to get to know each other. I remand friends with NATE because he's a decent person and no hard feeling and even my bull is aware Nate and I are friends and were friends prior to him and I

well he text me today, he now lives in MN asked me if I was going to said festival . I told him know because im poor and he offered to buy me a ticket if he can crash at my place and we can all go together.

the universe is on my side and listening and the manifestation is real.

so crazy so random. but incredibly thankful.

Most Taurus men are usually generous with their girlfriends (especially if you told him that you were strapped financially).

1. Did you tell him you wanted to go but you were financially strapped?

well in June when I asked if if we should buy tickets we both agreed that we didn't really want to go and I kinda hung onto that feeling

2. Or that you didn't care to go, and the festival just wasn't your scene?

I don't really want to go and I said it so many time leading up to now when people and friends ask if we were going

What's REALLY bothering you? - he's a immature and no matter how wonderful I think he is I still will never be convinced that he and I are going to work out forever....tbh

Ryan is taking his girlfriend, and your boyfriend isn't taking you? he never included me in his plans. he just stated facts. "im going to get a ticket" "I feel obligated to go"

You mentioned her (Ryan's girlfriend) more than twice, I didn't understand the constant reference. I only mentioned it in this place, never to him. never said anything, im just assuming at this point because that is how I would feel if I went with my friend and her boy on New Years. I can't totally picture me being the girl with the face in the back while everyone is taking their New Years kiss face lol "

Another way too look at this....

You're trying to control the situation in a passive-aggressive way. being passive aggressive yes! and I feel like its warranted and less dramatic then being dramatic but controlling no. if he goes he goes, and I just know how I will feel and think that a may or may not hold resentment for it. that's the honest truth

Using Ryan's girlfriend as an excuse to 'guilt-trip' him not to go....referring to him as a 3rd wheel. again never talked about his friends to him, just told him he is going to be sad when he can't kiss me at midnight



You're not even thinking about how the two of you could spend time together BEFORE and AFTER the festival.

well you killed the fun also.

If I'm getting guilt tripped, the thought of me spending time with that person just got that much less appealing.

I'm sure there's more to the story either way.


Right? Like now if you come along it’s just a chore..
click to expand



not really.

that is the story.

we haven't argued about it. him and I aren't fighting. he changed his mind, his friend is coming out and he feels obligated to go. but he told me too late for me to afford a ticket, he also hasn't even asked me to buy one he has only stated when he's going to do and he has done them. but in the last couple hours things have changed and now it doesn't matter.

in a crazy turn of events my very brief ex-turn-friend offered to buy me a ticket for a place to crash. he's coming to town last minute.

totally out of the blue. totally bazaar universe. so I guess everything is going to randomly work out.

i'd go with Nate.

lol - I technically am. I wonder how that makes my bull feel. - because obviously I told him.

Nates staying at my place and seeing as how he doesn't live here he will probably ride with me there.

my bull doesn't get off work until 10p and I get off at 430 so Nate and I will probably go and my bull will meet me or whatever. I don't even know. its just a crazy turn of events. totally unexpected. silly universe.

well. I do a lot for the person I love and I try to always consider my partner into all my choices because that's what I would want for myself. I don't think its the worst thing in the world to expect the person I love to be with me on a date that doesn't only ring in a brand new year but also rings in our 2 anniversary. or be considerate enough to allow me the time I need to afford a ticket. he did everything last minute in my book and didn't include me in any of the decisions.

To me it all reads like you just don't like him, resent him and now wiping your hands of it.

All the details and stuff sound like a reason to start a fight or a breakup soon.

For me it's respectable to say how you feel rather than all of this.

So for 4 years he and his friend have a NYE tradition... that you've never wanted to attend.. then, he invited his friend to come to a festival near you... you dont want to go still...

When it looks like he may go without you.. which he's done the past 3 years because you never want to go and said this time is no different.. you're upset because he didnt want to just leave his boy hanging after traveling to you city.

Then you guilt trip him and use a NYE kiss as the bait? When it sounds like you never go to any NYE events with him anyway to actually kiss?

Now, you're planning on showing up with your ex and having your ex stay with you?

Am I reading that right?

I dont see anything that could go wrong. Great plan.


You're reading it wrong.

i asked him in june when tickets were cheap if he wanted to go - we both made the choice to say no

i spend a lot of money on xmas and i don't have $ 250 to spent on tickets. honestly it would be financially irresponsible of me to buy the now with my bills due on the 1st. he just put this on me last week and is jumping the gun without me. he hasn't asked me to go. he is only telling me he is going. he hasn't begged me or even included me in the option. so there is also that to consider. i have goals for myself. we already booked and planned a festival outta state in march im saving for, also im trying to take my son on a good vacation this year as well as buy a home. im not interested in starting off the year broke or dipping into my savings.

but its going to be what it is.

im not breaking up with him about it. but im sticking with the the game plan. we had good reasons for not getting those tickets in june when they were $ 150.00 and being a couple days away we have even more reason why its not a good idea.



You don't need to say anything more after $ 250, that's just insane. I'd never ever pay that amount money for that night and freeze and get sick for ot later. Yup that's just crazy. For slightly more than that I went to paris for 6 days, come on, spending that much on one night ia completely unacceptable. I do get your point now. If he wants to pay ticket for you then you should go, other than that it's just nope...
