A couple days ago me and my honey went to a concert that we bought tickets for almost 3 month ago, we also had a hotel room for the night so we didn't have to go home afterwards.
I took the next day off from work also so I wouldn't have to worry about getting up early or drinking too much.
My Honey has been having back problems and the day of the concert the pain moved into his hips and he could barely walk but we went on our journey anyways and checked into our room hoping it would get better by the time the concert started.....no such luck
.
We went anyways but after standing through the first band he just couldn't do it any longer, he had a very hard time standing and was getting ready to pass out so we left and went to our room.
He wanted me to stay course I really was looking forward to the concert and never been to see this band (he had seen them some years ago).
As much as I wanted to I couldn't have him try to get back to the room by himself while I was having fun watching the concert.
I got to listen to the first song anyways so at least I got a taste of what it would have been like.
What would you have done...stayed or left with your honey that was feeling really miserable?

Hello missy. There is no question about what I would do. I would do as you did. I would not want my friend/partner to go through trying to walk back to a motel with painful hips. I couldn't have much fun if I did allow him to try walking back to the motel room. I have had that kind of pain. I hope he gets some relief soon. after a while it gets hard to handle.

If I were you, I will definitely leave the concert with my partner and head back to the hotel together. One should be able to weight between concert and safety. You can go to concert again some other time. Yet if your partner did collapse, it will definitely not be good. After all, enjoying the comfy bed it the hotel should be fun as well. A good relax after some job.

If the situations were reversed, I would expect and want and need my man to stand by and help me. I would need his loyalty.
So, because that is how my mind works, I would do for him as I expect him to do for me...the golden rule. I'd help him back to the room and assure him I'd rather be with him and so on.
I think being considerate of others whether loved ones or strangers is one of the most important things we can do.

I probably would have thought of doing that but our Hotel was 2 casino's over and it would have been quite a walk for him to do by himself

I think you did exactly the right thing in taking your BF back to the Hotel and making sure he got there safely..
However, if I had been the one with the back problem I would have insisted you go back to the concert and enjoy it..no reason both of you miss it..unless of course the Hotel was really far away or you didn't feel safe traveling back to the concert area by yourself...

He did tell me to go back and I went for 1 song but I just couldn't enjoy myself knowing he was sitting outside feeling miserable.
Our room was in the hotel down the street so he needed help getting there otherwise it would have worked out different.

oh no missybear I bet these tickets were expensive and now you didnt even get to hear and see the performance. Sorry to hear this.
Honestly I dont know what I would have done. If my partner would have been okay with me getting back there after making sure he is in our rooma and comfortably in bed I would probably have taken the chance to.
At least I would tell my husband its all right if he stays there eventhough I cant.

If our room would have been in the same hotel as the concert we might have done that but our Hotel was a couple blocks down the street so he couldn't walk there by himself, otherwise I might have done that.
The other thing we didn't even think about was that he could have sat at a machine and gamled $20 while I went back for a while...Oh well at least we made it home OK.

Sorry to hear that things had to turn out like this, and I am sure you did what is Best for the both of you. Yes, I am sure it would have been nice to stay there thru the whole concert and enjoy, but at the same time you did what was best and took care of your hunny. If you would have let them try to maneuver back by themselves you would have had no fun as you would have been worried, and hopefully there will come another time where you can be at another concert as well.

I would have done the same thing. My fiance had a horrible infection in his right hand and we ended up in the ER because of it. The doctor put my love on IV antibiotics, which took an hour + to administer. I had classes that night and one of them was a preview for a competition that I was looking forward to entering. If my partner and I had presented a great presentation we could have split $1000! Rather than leaving the side of the one I love, I opted to remain and for go the competition. I couldn't have lived with myself if I had left and something happened to him!!!
There will be other concerts, but there is only one person that you love and care for. You did the right thing staying with him and comforting him. I hope Santa is extra nice to you this year!

That was really sweet of you to stay with your honey.
Sometimes money isn't everything (It does help though)

Like you said...there will be other concerts and hopefully for you other chances to enter in the competition.

I would have done the same thing you did! i would not have been able to enjoy the concert anyway wondering if he made it back to the room safely or not. Plus I could not enjoy it knowing he was in severe pain like that. Hope he is doing better now!

You did the right thing. Even if you had decided to go back to the concert you would not enjoy there without your loved one!

My husband's health is definitely more important than any concert. He needs special attention and if I do chose to go on with the concert, how am I sure that he would be fine?

If our room would have been in the same place at the concert I might have took him upstairs and went back but our room was 2 casinos down from were the concert was so there was no way I could have left him to go back by himself.

You must really love him. You did the right thing. I don't think I can enjoy watching a concert when I know that my partner is sick. You can see them some other time or year anyways. He'll always remember how you chose to be with him than some band. Sweet!

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i feel extremely bad for your husband's back problem and i hope he will be fine in the coming days. I know u and your husband were so much excited ahead of this concert so much so that u had booked a room and also taken a leave but all i can say is that luck was not on your side and hence u had to miss the major part of the concert.
I think u did the right job of not leaving your hubby in the room and enjoying the concert but many concerts will happen in the future but once a health problem occurs it has to be sorted out.
What say?

You right,sadly it's the second concert we missed course he got sick, plus I missed one that I was going to see with a girl friend of mine due to bad weather (It was outside).
The good part is the band usually comes to town once a year so we try again next time
