When you work three weeks without a day off, time off is sacred.

So when this man’s girlfriend surprised him with tickets for a concert at the end of another long day, he said he just doesn’t want to go.

She felt offended and hurt, and he’s wondering if he should go anyway.

AITA for not wanting to go to a concert with my girlfriend?

My job is very seasonal, and right now I am in my absolute busiest time of the year.

During this season I often work every day of the week and sometimes go three to four weeks without a day off.

It is rough, but it balances out later in the year when work slows down a lot.

So he looks forward to rest.

My girlfriend recently bought tickets to a concert next week for a band I have never heard of.

She did not ask me beforehand if I wanted to go or if the date worked for me.

She just bought the tickets and told me we are going.

The concert is on a Thursday, which makes it harder.

I already have work scheduled that day at sunrise and again at sunset, so it would be a very long day.

He let her know about that, but she doesn’t get it.

I technically could go to the concert afterward since it starts later, but that would mean being on the road from around 5 a.m. until close to midnight, then getting up the next day to do it all over again.

I told her I do not really want to go, mostly because I will be exhausted and this is the worst possible time of year for me.

She is disappointed and says she just wanted to spend time together.

I understand where she is coming from, and I would probably be more open to something like this during my off season, but right now I just do not have the energy.

AITA?

What did Reddit have to say?

It just doesn’t sound like a great idea.

It’s simple, really.

Yup.

Another reader chimes in.

It’s kind of baffling.

Maybe she wanted to surprise him.

But sometimes you need to accept something just didn’t work.
