Heh heh heh. Bonnaroo is almost the sole cause of my ex and I breaking up. It was a relief, and now I get to be single and not have to deal with him!
OP - Buy a ticket! What do you want to remember in 20 years. . . having a few sad moments at Bonnaroo missing your girl, or you moping around your house missing Roo and your girl. If you have credit, go for it!
You deserve them SO much more than her, or any random person out there either.
??? Based on what?
LOL! Good point...I mean this thread IS "Broke up with g/f" not "g/f Broke up with Me"....and she DID offer the tickets to him first...and he talks about wanting to still go "as friends"...so maybe he had the old "maybe we should just be friends" talk with her or something.....and she wasn't interested in just being "friends" idk.....there are still tix available....she bought those tix....he can buy tix if he wants to go.....and find a girl that he wants to be "more than friends" with now

I never once specified that she broke up with me, it was a mutual breakup cause as a couple we weren't compatible. We made amazing friends but once a relationship started any problems that we may have had came to the forefront. I was just looking for a place to vent my thoughts and feelings with good people. There have been many on this thread but it looks like its turning on me to make me out to be the bad guy.
Hey...not trying to make you the bad guy at all.....don't even KNOW you..... Just that some people had jumped in and tried to make your ex the "bad guy" by default without knowing anything about the sitch either...and that's not fair either with what little you have said about the whole sitch sounds like she's been pretty decent about the whole thing considering. So....you know....in these situations....there are always two sides to everything and I'm glad you have someplace to vent (here) and I'm sure she has her friends and places to vent as well....and I hope you both move on to have super great lives! Hope you make it to Bonnaroo since you want to go and hope she gets her investment in the tix back since she obviously DOESN'T want to go.....and it's a win/win all around no?? If you make it...come to the Brunch and come find us at Camp Custie and we'll give you a few beers to help ease your sorrow!

Thanks, I appreciate it, and my ex is not the bad person at all, and neither am I. It is just an unfortuante situation and I was just upset when I made my original post. She was and hopefully will continue to be a wonderful friend and I will do everything in my power to get to the roo. Its been a very unpleasant week and only the roo and all of you can cure that.

well since they have already been sold on ebay, i still am feeling that you should dress up like the burger king. you don't even have to go to roo or try to get your girlfriend back to cheer you up. You just have to be the Burger King. That is the power of the costume. Instant and eternal happiness.

I have heard of a number of couples this happened to recently strange, my two cents - about 6 years ago I went through a terrible break-up with my bf of 7 yrs. I lost my apartment, all the money he owed me, all my friends, my whole lifestyle, etc. I found the strength to move in with some strangers, finished a graduate degree, met a man who is now my husband, and generally life went from compete devastation to now happiness. The funny thing is I never thought I would be going to festivals again or see Phish again, my husband - when we first started dating - went with me to his first festival (and first tent camping) - he isn't a hippie or into jambands at all - so I was surprised he would go (I was going to just suck it up and go by myself). He didn't really want to go, but wanted me to be happy and lo' and behold he now is pretty good with tent camping and understands the shakedown st., and can enjoy a festival. Things happen for a reason. You may not understand that reason now but just realize it did happen for a purpose... and never think you can't go to the festival find a way and it will be all good.
......i just found myself in this very situation...... .........................................................................
Oh no! Are you not going either?
yep... two years and she just up and leaves out of no where... she says i can still go with her, but how in the world do you enjoy yourself while sleeping in a tent next to the girl you never had a doubt about growing old with? how do you ingest party favors when there's alot more than pot clouding your brain? how do you spend those four days knowing it's the last four days you'll spend together? doing everything i can... maybe some flowers into a dinner into after dinner starbucks will work wonders; but if she wants to leave, why draw her back just because you spoil her a night while aiming for her to come back. really sucks.
someone get videos of mars volta and nine inch nails for me.

^^It actually sounds like quite the opposite of you not being able to go now. It sounds like you just don't want to go. Sorry to hear of your relationship misfortunes, but you can still go to the Roo and you can still have an excellent time. And then those videos of the Mars Volta and NIN will be excellent recollection experiences as opposed to sulking "i wish i woulda been there" experiences. Don't wanna sleep in the same tent? Then bring an extra one.

My girlfriend left me about a month ago. Luckily, I was about to front the money to buy her a ticket right when it happened. Talk about good timing...
Unfortunately, now I'm flying solo. Actually my first time was the best and I was alone. The time she went was the worst. Missed MMJ because she was tired and wouldn't walk back to camp by herself.
6.7: roooo 6:19: roger waters playing the wall 6:22: dave matthews band 6.27: trampled by turtles 6:28-29: phish 7:14: forecastle festival & mmj on the belle of louisville
Im really sry, a kind of experience like that destroyed me, my ex is now going with my best friend to roo. My best friend had plans for a year to take me and dropped them a week ago to take her. HE wont talk to me any more. I realy want her back as a friend and she said she wouldnt be mine. Finaly she calls me and says she says she wants to be friends again. starts ignoring me for him and then tells me she never wants to talk to me again and that all i do is cause drama, ironic.
Next problem, im still going but with a group of people who are friends with the guy who used to be my best friend and my ex. My ex will try to ruin it for me I know, every time i finally end up ok without her she makes sure to make me break down again it sucks.
Girls are crazy, my advice forget about her as quick as u can, it will be hard and maybe impossible.
Wow, now that is rough, i hope it works out for you man.
And I too had a problem a lot like this...I was planning on going with my now ex. Now she is dating a friend of mine and going to Bonnaroo with him. I had the money to buy the tickets but my card was denied the day I was ordering the tickets. Now I don't have the money to go and over half of the bands playing are bands that I have been listening to every day for some time. It was like a calling...I even live in Tennessee. She wouldn't have even known half of those bands if it weren't for me. Shitty situation.
