So my boyfriend's a big soccer fan and there was a game tonight (Zidane & friends tour vs. canadian allstars)..my friend had a set of tickets that he didn't want, and I was told or for some reason I thought that it was real madrid vs. toronto fc (i dont know anything about soccer, so I had no idea..)

So I thought he would really wanna watch it, I asked my bf if he wanted to go watch it and knowing that he's broke, I offered to buy the tickets (not like i'm not broke either tho)..he said sure he'd wanna go..so I made my friend go out of his way to drop off his tickets for me and everything.. and I was at the mall waiting for my bf to get off work and call..when he finally called, he asked me what the ticket said, and I told him it said "Zidane & friends tour vs. canadian allstars" and he's like "omgggg..i know what that is, that's a bs game..i don't wanna go watch that" and he starts blaming me and saying "don't you read the ticket before you get it" and I really did read it but i really thought Zidane & friends tour vs. canadian allstars was just another way of saying real madrid vs. toronto fc (again, i know nothin about soccer)

So I got mad at him because I felt like I put so much effort into doing something for him...he thought that I was mad at him because of the money I spent, and he told me to just ask for my money back from my friend..but I told him that's not the point. and he goes "then what's the point? your mad at me for a mistake YOU did" and then he says "I'll call you later, I'm gonna go out with my friends okay?" and I wasn't respondin cause I was really pissed and I dind't wanna say okay, cause things weren't okay....so I hung up without saying nethin else

and the whole night he hasn't called or even texted... I'm realllllyy mad at him..but I wanna know, do I have the right to be mad at him? or am I overreacting, and it was really my fault?

Imo, your boyfriend is being unreasonable. Sure, you bought tickets to the wrong game. But you did put in effort (thought that counts, right?), and it shows that you really care about the things he likes too. There's no reason for him to blame you if the you are the one who has to sacrifice. You do have the right to be mad right back, and if he doesn't apologize, you shouldn't need to either.

[hishari]

Yes, you have the right to be mad at him. He was soo unreasonable

[allyy]

what an as.s.................
seriously.. you have the right definately

[Kanzen]

Aww yeah, he's definitely not being cool. =/ TBH though, he probably doesn't know how much this means to you.

[xKanane]

If I was in your situation, I would be pretty mad at him too.
So what if you got the wrong tickets? Shouldn't the fact that you went out of your way to get the tickets for him be more important?
He's kind of being a jerk about this =/

[G.EunMi]

Wow what a jerk. He should at least appreciate the fact that you went out of your way to try and do something nice for him.

[ny-sw / ny_sw.]

Wowww, what a Richard. O___O

[PRinCesS BaBo]

i think it wasn't your fault cause you was just trying to nice...
since he's a soccer fan, he should be happy with whatever game right? o_o'
this one time, my ex got tickets to a basketball game..even tho it wasn't teams that i really like
it was still a nice gesture for him to take me cuz i love basketball...
your bf is just being a butt...

[aznxmushu]

You have every RIGHT to be mad.
he doesn't see the effort that you've put into this.
and he just made himself look like a ash making a big deal.
making him look like the game is more important then you.
let it go for tonight, then tmw if you get a call or text from him.
tell him how you felt and what really happened in your perspective...
hope this works out...

When I got that kind of attitude, I basically would flip out, regardless.

The effort mattered the most - I agree with one of the posts above, he should be content he could even go watch a soccer game.

Tell him in his face "maybe *I* want to see this game. If you don't want to, then don't you dare call yourself a soccer fan."

And make sure the money part is clear cut. Make it clear the point isn't about money but effort and if anything, he owes YOU money, not your friend.

[xspringrollsx]

Lets try to look at his perspective as well.
He probably didn't want you spending money on a game that he didn't even like. He probably knows you don't soccer or basket ball, whatever so it would be waste of the money to spending on something you both don't like.

Though he hasn't realized that you had taken the effort to buy the tickets, and the main point of it was spending time with each other right? But I guess to him that money can be spent instead on something you BOTH like and enjoy as well as spending the time with one another.

[meiming8]

what a rude guy!! I'd be FURIOUS at my boyfriend. Sure, from his point of view, he doesn't like the game, but he should realize what a big effort you went through and, even if he didn't, he should have been nicer to you!! God!

[Pandaa.]

Maybe your boyfriend didn't know how much you went through to get the tickets? Or he didn't realize the effort you were making? ><

[naoto]

wait you got tickets to zidane and friends vs. toronto all stars? can I be your boyfriend for the evening? jeez I would love it if a s/o did that for me.

well maybe he didn't know about the effort you put in. he is wrong no doubt, but sometimes people don't know and they say stuff that is hurtful without realizing anything. My friends have done it to me a couple times in my life too, but they are still good peeps. Still if you have those tickets, i'll take you out for an evening.

[°..a²]

Your bf is at fault for not seeing the effort you put into getting the tickets, but also...........he's not wrong either.
You assumed the whole time that that's the team he wanted to see. You should've been smarter about the whole situation and maybe well.........asked your friend who was exactly playing? You expected him to be all happy and stuff seeing that you bought him tickets to the game he wanted to see. But how the hell is he suppose to be happy when you bought him the wrong one? Since you're complaining that you're both broke, he obviously thinks it's stupid of you to spend money on the wrong tickets. AND btw I don't see how you spent SO much effort getting these tickets. You said specifically you made YOUR FRIEND go out of their way to give you the tickets.
I'm like your bf. If I get something I don't like, I'd rather not get anything at all.

What kind of person will say something like that to someone they care about? It is one thing to say that he is not a fan of them, but will go watch the game with you, and another to complain and say that he will not even consider going to the game at all. Either way, you have the right to be angry at his response. I am sure he knows that you are not even a fan of the sport, right? Even then, you still bought the tickets for him and is willing to spend time to watch his favorite sport.

Tell him about what you had to do to get those tickets. At least he should appreciate the effort of you trying to do something nice for him. Nothing is perfect in life and mistakes happen all the time. If he can't appreciate one's effort over a small mistake, he is definitely going to blow up even more over a bigger matter or when things don't go his way.

You should totally go to the game with someone else or sell them?

[shining_star[:]

Wow what a rude jerk
id be pist if i was in your shoes
i mean come on you put whole effort into it and he doesnt want to go watch it?
hes being totally unreasonable.

[Malice_Kaiser]

You have a right to be mad. He's a lucky guy to have someone like you going out of your way to get tickets to a game of his favourite sport. He should realize you don't know anything about soccer but the point is you really tried and it was super nice of you to do that. Honestly if my s/o did that for me I'd be touched to tears.

[xx_melody]

awww i would be pissed off too. especially since he hasn't even texted or called you back. don't worry, just tell him that you're hurt and make sure he never does it again..cuz that's just messed up.
