Festival season haiku
Dear Haikusue:
My boyfriend is a huge music fan and loves going to live festivals. For the past three years that we have been together we have gone to Coachella, Outside Lands, and everything else we can get to. The festival thing is fun, but I don't make that much money an it's becoming crazy expensive. I keep telling my boyfriend that I need to go to fewer events and stay on a budget this year but when I do , he gets mad and says he will go without me and that 'whatever happens at the festival stays at the festival' (meaning he's gonna hook up with skanky drunk festival girls.) After that we usually get in a huge fight, and I end up giving in, and handing over my credit card to buy another round of tickets. How can I make him see that these concerts are bankrupting me, and we don't have to go to every single one?
Signed,
In debt in the mission
