So I love my girlfriend. I do. We were supposed to just go have what I hoped would be a fun and possibly super white and nerdy dance party of a time at Lotus tonight. Big ol' fight beforehand, kinda resolved. Anywho,'they clearly are not her bag of chips, like most of the shows I wanna see.
Needless to say Lotus is currently halfway into their second set (have I mentioned I hadn't seen them in close to four years?) and I am at home slayin' more beer and watchin' reruns of HIMYM while she's asleep upstairs.

That sucks. I'm sorry. I've decided that if I want to go to a show, I'm going to go. But when it's after a fight like that it kinda makes it so you can't go. I hope you guys wake up in the morning with no animosity.
God, I've never read through this thread before. It's incredibly depressing. And it's even more depressing by some other factors when you know the outcome of stuff. Then there are a few rays of hope, like LD contemplating breaking up with "RI Girl," whom he's still with today.... God guys, I just want to give you all hugs right now.
Thanks for sharing Gab. I always enjoy anything you write, and I could relate to some of what you said. Unfortunately, I cant relate to bangin a girl born in the 40's. However, it makes me feel normal for not being the only one with those same thoughts.

Seriously. I love you guys.
I tried bribing a mod or several to delete this thread last summer. Too many bad memories. Nobody took.

Another reason I can't be a mod. I would have deleted the fuck out of this thread for money and/or fancy beer.

Um.....missing Lotus would be a deal breaker for me. In fact.....not being on the same level of obsession about music in general kind makes things difficult.
No good. Come to Buffalo in April for a Lotus redo!

I could see that.. It really was a depressing read. I stopped like 4 pages in then kinda jumped around after that.
I bought my ex tickets to see umphrys for christmas one year (one of his faaaaaaaavorite bands) we fought the entire 2 hour drive down, I was basically sobbing the entire time. still went to the show. had a terrible time. I should have ended it with him at that moment. but I was a fool and did not.
the thought of an umphrys show still makes me want to cringe to this day.

Liked for you relating to his situation and not for what appears to have been a horrible night.
I hate that, the painfully intense and intimate connection that a relationship can have to music. So many songs that I love but have a hard time listening to when I'm going through a shitty time with my boyfriend (aka now). But when things are good, that music-to-love connection is incredible. Double edged sword.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

My ex and I had a breakup fight (a year before we ended up actually breaking up). He ended up dragged me out to the NFL music experience that weekend to try and make things not shitty anymore, since two of my favorite local artists were playing and it was free and blah blah blah. I was so miserable the whole time. We would run into friends and I would basically go and stand with them. The thought of being anywhere near him made me want to punch his face. It was so obvious to everyone that I didn't want to be there. Luckily, our fight didn't ruin my love for those artists.

my ex and I's break up fight consisted of me showing up to the bar, after inviting him out and him declining, and running into him. he flipped me off, yelled "fuck you, you stupid fucking cunt" across the bar, and walked away - for no reason. (the bar he worked at, mind you. and where everyone we knew hung out)

he was really awesome.
There was no fight at the end of my last relationship. Just a big "I give up" speech from me. After the fifth instance of infidelity, I was just done. Kind of makes me sad that my self worth was so low at that point that it took that many times for me to end it.
ps. I would have told her to go fuck herself and take an uber if she wanted to leave early.
This.
My first Roo, my gf decided at 10PM Thursday night that Roo wasn't for her. I told her to sleep on it, she agreed. The next morning she demanded we leave. Quack that- I bought both tickets, I took time off work, I spent hundreds on a great vacation which I spent over a year looking forward to... I had her call a cab. She bussed it from Manchester to Chattanooga, then flew out of my life forever. Sometimes I feel like a d!ck about it, but overall I regret nothing. We weren't a match, and weren't meant to be.

Yikes, my sympathies go out to everyone who has experienced these truly horrible breakups. I've only experienced one ugly breakup, and fortunately we had only been dating for about a month. Long story short, I was the rebound guy. It wouldn't have sucked so much if we weren't in the same co-ed fraternity. Not to mention the fact that she started messing around with other guys (including one of the incoming pledges) immediately after breaking up with me because she realized she wasn't over her ex (who she dumped in the first place).

Death Cab is basically ruined for me, but I still fight it. My love for Ben Gibbard can overcome anything.

Fantastic choice.
Maybe one day, with enough alcohol in me, I'll unleash holy hell upon this place.

It's girls like this that give us a bad name.
FOR REALZ! I have never pulled some bullshit like this.

Or make you look better by comparison.
Sounds like this was just a bad relationship fit altogether. She's probably settled down with some guy who would cringe at the thought of sleeping in a tent shantytown for 4 days.
