Sorry Id rather roll solo then have to worry about if you're having a good time or not.
Soooooo true. If they're not going to have a good time why go? It's not like visiting family. They dont HAVE to see the sold out show where everyone is going to be packed together and sweating all over each other.
you would think it wouldnt be hard to find someone whose into music and going to shows and doesnt suck in every other aspect of their life, but apparently its really hard.
Hard? Yes, but not impossible. It's possible to find someone who (seemingly) has their act together, loves music like oxygen the way you do, is compatible with you on multiple levels AND isn't fresh out of the asylum on a day pass. It ain't easy...but it's NOT impossible. It just requires a metric quack-ton of patience.

When you find one, will you please see if he has a brother or cousin?
I've had a real crazy "relationship" with a guy friend through the past... 11 years. We've gone from really good friends and talking every day to barely talking to hooking up and everything in between. He's exactly what I would want in a guy aaand he is very into music. He's been to Bonnaroo, is going to Hangout this year and we go to a lot of shows together (even traveling for some). He's exactly what I want in a guy, and I know he has said similar things about me... but yet.. a relationship has never formed. At this point, if we were meant to be together, it would have happened. Now, I just need to find someone else like him.. but that's not him.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I understand there is never the "perfect" person for you--I dont care what anyone says there are somethings about your wife/husband, gf/bf, SO that you dislike.
Sure, I don't like that my BF wears no undershirt but that doesn't mean he's not perfect for me

AAARRRRRGGGHHHH! Another member of the undershirt police. My wife wanted me to wear one too. That and Bonnaroo are some of the select few battles I have won. Men need to be free! Not constricted by the bondage of an undershirt!

Does it really matter that they don't like to go to shows with you or as into music? I think you will find in the grand scheme of things it doesn't. What you do want is someone who has their own interests instead of latching onto yours. Someone who doesn't get crazy jealous when you go out with friends or alone to shows and someone who will listen to you babble on about some AMAZING artist you got to see. It's actually very interesting when someone else has different likes and dislikes than you and it helps the relationship not to always be up each other's rear.

This is absolutely true. It sounds bizarre, but one of the keys to a happy relationship is time apart. Otherwise, you don't have anything to talk about. Not saying abandon the other people, but you need you time too, since the odds of finding someone with exact same interests are very slim.
I am not saying settle for someone. If you decide that they absolutely have to love music with you, then do not settle since you will always be unhappy when they don't go to shows. But you have to give in other places to make it work. Otherwise you smother the other person.

Funny that you bring that up because I thought for the longest time maybe my priorities were not in order and maybe I was shallow for this being so important to me. Not at all its something that is important to me. But the interesting point that you bring up is that they should have their own interests not latch onto yours and you're absolutely right and that was the problem. He had no interests, no hobbies, no substance. And thats not going to keep me interested. So yes I was fine going to shows by myself but he never went out and did anything on his own. Got real old, real fast.

Hey! If we girls have to be constricted, so do the guys! Except mostly, it's guys pestering girls NOT to wear bras...

My girlfriend of 3 years that I lived with just broke up with me two days ago, as soon as I got home from Bonnaroo. I was totally blindsided and devastated (still am, actually). Neither of us cheated on the other or anything like that and we always generally treated each other well, I guess she just felt that there were things that weren't clicking that should be after three years. I've been in a f*cking tailspin since. I've subsisted on nothing but peanut butter sandwiches and lots and lots of PBR the last couple days and I've just sat on my couch a lot crying. This is the f*cking worst.
Not to mention, it puts my living situation in a state of flux. I think we'll be able to figure it out together, but it sucks not knowing where I'm gonna be living in the near future or what I should do.
And yes, I do realize what a whiny pansy I sound like in this post, but I don't care. It happened just two days ago and I'm not even close to over it.

Damn, son. That sucks. Let me know if you need anything.

Hang in there, karosko. I really feel for you...but as An Old with an abominable, Jerry-Springer-esque dating record, I can tell you that it really does get better, eventually. Give yourself time, and see your friends (here and IRL) as much as possible... it really helps!! I've been in similar shoes and I never would've made it thru without friends.

Damn that sucks she at least could have told you before 'roo so you could have tried to get some bonnarebound tail while you were there.
Karosko, I'm so sorry love.. It hurts, I know. But I agree with ^ MizV. try to get out and visit friends, and talk as much as you want on here. It certainly saved my life once(not inforoo, but talking w/ friends) We're here for you, and if you need anything and the other 10 people that offered above can't help with,(which I'm sure is unrealistic because they're all amazing people and could probably solve worldy issues with their amazingness), I'm here too. Just let me know..

That really sucks karosko and while this doesn't really help, it's much better that she was up front and honest with you about her feelings. You can't even imagine the pain it feels when the girlfriend is feeling that way and decides to start cheating while lying to your face.
Take some time to work out your feelings. Sitting around crying is something that you'll do until you just feel like you can't do it anymore. Then just try to stay active with other things. If you focus on it all day, every day then it will make things worse. Do things with friends (even if you're not in a good mood) or go out and try something new.
Sorry to hear this. Even worse that it was right after Roo when you're feeling good.
