Man Buys Concert Tickets For Him And His GF Without Asking Her First, Gf Says He's Insensitive For Assuming She Would Go

And here's the headline

She said it was kind of insensitive to assume that she'd be available that day when it's a week day

The OP really thinks that it was a dramatic reaction

In less than a day of being posted, the Reddit post got over a thousand upvotes with more than 600 comments and here are some of them below

That is so not cool

It'd be best to communicate beforehand

Buying the tickets was a sweet idea but...

You don't get to decide if she's being dramatic

You can't expect a completely enthusiastic response

You expect her to happily shift her life around

You are just asking her to take time off to accompany you

This Redditor feels smaller things make for better surprises

You are putting unnecessary pressure on her

From someone who has a lot of flexibility with their job

Teachers have a lot of holidays and vacations

She's taking a day off to do something she doesn't want to do

You are responsible for your own decisions

You should have told her beforehand

You bought yourself an expensive experience

You should have asked her if she was available

She'd need to find a sub for one or both days

She now needs to work twice as hard

This Redditor can totally see where the OP's girlfriend is coming from

It's not that they couldn't possibly find a replacement, but most schools only allow 2 personal days off per year. And teachers are discouraged from using them for anything other than emergencies, so it's not hard to understand the girlfriend's views.

The OP just wanted to surprise her, and that's understandable too. In the end, no AHs were found in the story!
