So I (21F) have been dying to see one of my favorite bands live, and they finally announced a show that’s about six hours away. I bought tickets the second they went on sale and planned a trip with my boyfriend (22M) and his best friend (22M), since they’re both fans too. They’ve both seen the band before, but I haven’t. 

I also booked a hotel with two beds so we wouldn’t have to drive back super late after the concert.

Everything was all set, until my boyfriend found out he couldn’t get the time off work. He’s a restaurant manager, and one of his employees quit unexpectedly, so now he’s stuck covering that weekend even though he had the time approved before. We can’t afford for one of us to lose our jobs right now, and he’s the one keeping us afloat while I finish school and am only working part time. Obviously that sucks, and I know he’s really disappointed, but I never really considered not going myself. He even suggested flying me there and back so I wouldn’t have to drive, but I figured that was a waste of money and that I’d just drive with his friend since the trip was already planned.

So now the plan is to still go, but just me and his best friend. We’d drive out there, go to the concert, stay the night in a hotel (again, two beds), and head back the next day. Nothing weird - I’m not into his friend in that way, but I feel comfortable enough with him to make the trip just the two of us. I just really want to see this band.

At first, I didn’t even think twice about it. But now I’m starting to feel weird. When I told a few co-workers that I was still going without my boyfriend, they seemed really surprised and were like “Oh, really? My boyfriend would never let me do that.” Like, if the roles were reversed and my boyfriend went on an overnight trip with one of my close friends, I’d probably feel a little uncomfortable about it, even if I trusted him. But I also think I'll forever regret not going. So now I’m wondering if this is one of those things where technically nothing is wrong, but it’s still kind of crossing a line?

WIBTA if I still went?
