Am I Overreacting???  

Wow! you said everything i wanted to say.

This is the rational me. I absolutely feel that. But my heart is getting in the way. I feel things very deeply and this one, it just stings. Thanks so much for your response and the rational me agrees with you. :)

Funny you should mention that. He stopped by this AM and I didn't mention it at all. I fully plan (I think) to avoid this subject. But I looked at him and the tears, OH MY, the damn tears. It was horrible. I wrote this last night and I guess it is still fresh this AM. Looks like alone is the way I'm going. Maybe I'll just sell the other ticket. If I miss this, I don't think I could handle that either. It's just bad right now with this. It wasn't supposed to be. I was so happy when I passed by the concert venue and saw it on the sign...Sigh! I was thinking though maybe he would surprise, it has been known to happen.

Disappointed and just sad...I do have a friend or two and they might go, kicking and screaming. They like the new crap they call music. The thing is, I don't let alot of people in to things in my life. Especially this insane grief over my grandma, going to this is my weird way of healing. I know she would want me to go and have a good time and I will. But I know once he starts singing, the tears and memories (good ones) of my grandma will come back and crying in front of someone I'm not that close to makes me uncomfortable. But I won't be able to help it. That man can write a he11 of a sad song. All of my best friends live 8 hours or more away from me. Sadly...I pretty much just have accquaintances around here.
Hey, wanna go?? LOL Knowing you, we'd be partying with the Van Man- making the little ornery bugger not so ornery...
Thanks for stopping by!

I have waited for this show for a long time. He's going to be awesome! :)
Thanks for the response.

awsm.....hes gooooooooooona be super amamzing.....lolz

I wish I could stop the crying. I'm a highly charged emotional soul, the tears well they just come automatically. I was thinking about calling him from the show and rubbing it in. In fact, I will do just that. Thanks for the response.

I definitely have to go and see how it is. But I would sit there the whole time just wishing he was there. Thanks for the response.

My rational logical side knows that. But the heart is still broken, though fixable in this case. This is more of a second job and not the main one. But I don't want him to lose it. My tears just aren't that important. I should be grateful that he is responsible. Hugsssssss right back at you and thanks for the response.

Thank you Sweetie for br
Hugs

I know his boss well so that is a thought. I bet I could work some magic...I hope we both too in the end get to go. Thanks for the response.

OMG do not talk to his boss, it is the worst thing that you could possibly do. He is an adult. He will lose respect for you and his boss will lose respect for him and you. I just got this in my newsletter so I know this is a very late response. I work in Human Resources, the worst thing you could do is talk to his boss. I am cringing.

I know you are upset but give it up girl, get another friend, telling him again and again that you are still sorry he can't go and that you love this group is overkill. Big time! If you want to wreck this relationship whining about it and reminding him is the fastest way to kill what you have between you. What are you going to do if you two have a SERIOUS problem between you. What if you have a child and the child is born with medical problems? What if you are married and one of you loses your job? What if you disagree about something fundamental about life? If not with this man the man you decide to spend your life with?

I am not trying to negate your feelings but maybe you should have talked to him before you got the tickets. I feel for you but now is the time to think about the real world. There are plenty of people who would love his job and miss anything important to keep it.

I have been watching "American Idol" and "So You Think You Can Dance", those people missed major events in their lives to try out for their dream. One girl missed her fathers funeral, one missed her High School graduation, one missed her sister's wedding. They did it for their dream.

Go out and get a friend who would really like to go, maybe he has a brother, a father, or you have a friend. Introduce them to this group. It is a gift from you. Don't expect money for the ticket, that is not fair. Have a great time. Tell him all about it and calmly tell him after it is all over that you wish it had been him but you understand that he needs to work.

Good luck. Have fun.

It's not quite a conventional job. His "boss" is actually a mutual friend and would understand the situation but I'm not going that route anyway. I'm going by myself if I have to! :)

No offense taken. This is a secind job and it is at night unfortunately. I definitely don't want him to lose it. I wish he could come after...Sigh!!! Maybe it will work out, if not, I'm still going and he'll be jealous. LOL!! Thanks for the response.

My friends live far away. The good ones that would appreciate it. I might be better off going alone in that case.
Yeah, this stupid crying has to stop but it just hurts for some reason. I thought he would be so excited and he was until I told him the date. Of course, I don't want him to lose his job. But it isn't stopping the tears.
Of course, I know you mean well hun! Your silly!! :) I will fill everyone on the lot in most definitely!!
Thanks for the response.

Okay skinny well I am sorry all the same that this is stinging you so very deeply..I know what that feels like believe me. There are things I remember that I will never get over..may be silly things to others, but to me, it meant the world. There, there skinny. xoxoxoox

It does mean the world to me...the heart is a powerful thing. Ya know that! Thanks for being there for me.

My pleasure always my dear friend! Oh yes, I know that full well. xo
