This twenty-year-old man unbelievably scored three VIP tickets to see a very popular artist and planned to take this twenty-year-old Girlfriend and fourteen-year-old cousin with him.

“They are both die-hard fans of this artist,” the man said.

So, after securing the tickets, he told his girlfriend and cousin separately. But, trouble struck when the fourteen-year-old cousin thought the man had an extra pass.

Apparently, the cousin had told her best friend she could also come along, and the man only found out after seeing the cousin at a family party.

She was with her best friend, just streaming albums, watching music videos, and talking about how excited they were to meet the artist.

In turn, the man could not find it within his heart to tell the best friend she really could not go. He described how the friend had actually just lost both her mother and grandmother a few months prior and did not want to make her lose another thing.

So, they tried to come up with a solution. He first considered just letting his girlfriend take the tickets and the two fourteen-year-old girls to the concert.

But, his family has only known the girlfriend for a few months and refused to send the girls with her.

Then, the man was left with just one choice to make– take his girlfriend, or take the cousin’s friend. And he chose the friend.

“I told my girlfriend she could not come, and she was clearly upset but said she wasn’t. I had hyped up the event for a few weeks, and she was so excited,” the man recalled.

In fact, his girlfriend had even gone out and bought an entirely new outfit and jewelry and even practiced precisely what she would say to the artist during the meet-and-greet.

“I felt like crap the whole time I was watching her face fall and her trying to pretend it’s okay,” the man explained.

And even though his family and his girlfriend all said he did the right thing, he could not shake the feeling that he had made the wrong decision.

So, the man shared the story on Reddit in hopes of getting advice and was practically told flat-out that he was a jerk for what he did.

In fact, the responses to his Reddit post were so adamant and convincing that the man decided to change all of his initial plans.

“I needed Reddit and all of you strangers to knock some sense into me, and I did what most of you told me to. I am taking my girlfriend to the event,” the man began.

“I talked to my cousin about it, and, long story short, she acknowledged the ticket might have been for someone else but thought she would get away with it if she told me about her friend.”

“She really wanted her friend to be happy after the events of her past.”

“But, I told her that while what she did was with good intentions, it affected other people. It also was not nice to intentionally play with my feelings,” the man finished.

He now plans to apologize to his girlfriend, present her with the ticket, and sell the third extra ticket in order to buy her an extra special gift.

So, what do you think? Should the man have taken the Reddit users’ advice? Was taking his girlfriend the right decision all along?
