And it's not just any Chad, it's Bono.

A month ago I bought tickets for a concert in my town (not U2, another well known band). never asked her if she'd go, just bought two tickets, but told her I'm buying them (implication was it was for us). When tickets came I invited her and she said yes. We agreed to put the tickets under the xmas tree as a present for me, since we had presents for everybody else but me.

Fast forward till yesterday, out of the blue she says "uhhh... U2 is in [another town]. I reeealllyyy want to see U2. But the concerts are a few days apart... I'll just skip our concert and travel to [the other town]".

Ok, obviously I have a problem. First of all, no respect for the work I had to do to earn money for those tickets. To her it seems everything is just granted. Second, apparently my dread level is somewhere subzero.

My answer to her was just "OK, no problem, I'll ask one of the young sport ladies from the [sport I do]."

Her:"what... err... Maya (a common girlfriend of ours) said she wanted to go...what young ladies?"

Me:"Well, if you don't go I'll choose whom I go with and I'll ask one of the young sport ladies from the [sport I do]".

Her:"Whatever..."

Obviously she's not concerned at all about my reply and she has not mentioned it since. I've been thinking about what to do. Obviously I'll apply OI and dread. I'm just not jet sure if I'll invite one of the girls for free, or if I'll sell the ticket without telling her, and then ask a nice lady at a concert for a few selfies. I'm inclining to the later.

Anyway, today, out of the blue again "ehh... I can't find anybody to go on the U2 concert with me."

I'm shocked but ignore it. The thing is, I quite like U2 myself and I would go. How the fuck do I do it now without entering her frame? I've not yet decided if I really want to go as I would need to take leave, which I consider a currency. Spending 2 days for a mid-week concert? Hmm... not sure.

In any case, if I decide to go, what now... shecompletelly ingnores my, so I guess I should just buy a ticket for myself. Will be fun then when she says she's going and I say "where are you leaving the kids then?" ??? "Well, I'm going too". Would be a nice surprise.

The shit we have to deal with.

Edit: rewritten the whole tickets under tree which was described poorly before
