Am I being a silly bint?

I can 100% see why you're annoyed at this unfortunate coincidence but there's nothing your boyfriend can do except accept the invitation with good grace.

You, of course, should get to leave him with the kid and do your own choice of expensive self-indulgent thing on another night as a consolation prize. And go with him to see Coldplay next time you can, or just listen to the miaowing of a suicidally depressed cat, same difference as I see it.

If you do spend the night in, let me know and I'll send you a CD of some decent music to listen to.

These have tickets remaining. Do check other website though, you may find them cheaper. I paid £64.00 each for seating through o2 priority tickets.

£64 for coldplay?? :eek:

Of course he was delighted to accept the gift of a ticket. It's not the grateful recipient's place to ask for another for their other half, even if they were available. You've certainly found a way to take the gilt off that present by turning it into a disagreement. I think you need to get over it.

IMO, that depends. e.g. If a friend/family member bought me a surprise ticket ofor an evening they knew dh wasn't here then I'd be delighted to accept. I'd think it a bit rude if they bought me a surprise ticket if dh lived here full time or on a date dh is usually here (i.e. weekends) with out first asking if I were free for ''something'' on ''x date''.

so for me the appropriacy of such a surprise gift sort of depends on whether they live together or not.

I'd pay the OP £64 NOT to take me.

Maybe your boyfriend feels awkward asking his brother if you can go because his brother may think he is expected to pay for your ticket too.

I think you would have a point being annoyed about all this if it were your boyfriend who had bought tickets and left you out. As it is his brother has surprised him with this. In the same position I would feel awkward asking my brother if I could bring my hubby along with us too.

What is stopping you going along with your mates on a different date. Maybe you both were not invited because you have a little one and the boyfriends brother didn't know who would look after him/her.

I told him I'd cut off my right boob to see them live, and he promised me that next time they tour, we'll go and it'll be amazing

I tell you what, you send me a video of you doing that and I'll buy you the ticket.

I think you have the right to be jealous but I don't think you have the right to be angry with your BF. His brother bought them as a surprise and I don't think you can expect him to ask his brother to bring you along.

To be honest I have 'guy time' with my mates and 'girl time' with my GF and although they do sometimes mix I do appreciate both independant nights as well. Guys like their time together, it isn't the same when one brings their girlfriend despite how 'one of the lads' she thinks she is and I think it's healthy to allow your partner this time. An event like this I'd probably mix it if both parties wanted to come along but I think the posters who suggest he shouldn't be spending time with just the lads are misguided.

Are you expecting your boyfriend's brother to buy you a ticket? Or were you offering to buy your own ticket and tag along?

Look at it from your BFs brother's point of view for a minute...he knew his bro' would like to go, he knew that after HE gets married that opportunities to go out with his brother alone may not be easy to find ( he too may be in the 'broke and stuck at home' boat) ..so he bought two tickets and it just happens to be someone you'd like to see too. Not their fault is it?
