let me explain please. i’ve been an army for 8 years, my mother 6. she really does like them a lot, active on twt, even reading fanfiction daily etc. and i’m very happy we have a shared interest to talk about. so when general sale for the upcoming tour came around, we tried to get tickets. i managed to get a single ticket for day 1 in my cart, which i bought under her name, since i knew it was super important for her, and i’d have felt guilty going alone because she made it obvious how much she wanted to go, asking the whole family for ticketing help. right after i texted her i got a ticket (i was in a different country at the time) she told me my brother managed to grab 2 tickets for day 2. we were incredibly elated because they’re amazing tickets as well!! way too expensive imo but honestly im super thankful my mother is willing to spend that for a good time with me. we’ll be turning it into a little trip.
the issue is that we still have that single ticket for day 1. i thought it was obvious we were going to sell it tbh. but my mother really does plan on going alone that day. usually i wouldn’t mind at all!! but the thing is. it’s day 1. and maybe im overthinking but i want us to have this experience for the first time together. especially since it’s something we’ve been waiting for for so long. i want us to be on the same wave length basically, to be equally excited and having the same emotion when the music first comes on. sorry if that sounds corny but i really feel that way. the thought of not seeing her reaction and sharing that happy moment makes me very sad.
i tried communicating this, but she always says she “needs to get the initial shock over, trust me, that way i’ll be normal and you’ll have more fun with me too when i’m not freaking out.” but i want to freak out together!! thats the point!! :((( i don’t want her to be composed while i’m more excited. i swear its not about stealing her fun or being jealous at all. it’s probably selfish but if it goes this way it’ll take a huge chunk of the excitement for me, that’s how much it bothers me.
is this justified and should i keep trying to convince her or am i being a total jerk:/ (I don’t think i can anyways, so this is more of a vent/rant honestly)
