AITAH for not making concert memories with my aunt & uncle as a form of revenge.
Hi I'm an Hispanic Male but when i was a teenager l've i had plenty of opportunities to go to concerts with my aunt & uncle but I decided not to go to any of them as a form of punishment for not letting go to concerts I really wanted to see the most.
Every concert I wanted to go to when I was a teenager I wasn't allowed to go for some Bullshit reason
here's an example of one of my memories (there were around 4-5 concerts over the course 2 years before this memory you’re about to read but this concert was the straw that broke the camels back and led me to my actions)
There was a yearly concert tour called Taste of Chaos Tour and when i found out it was coming near me city I wanted really wanted to go because the line-up to me was amazing & it was gonna be near my birthday when they came, so l asked my aunt (2-3 months in advance also) if she could take me to the concert for my birthday and she said no because the concert was"to far away" the venue is roughly 5 miles away so I was sad/ pissed and I begged her to change her mind but she stuck to her guns and that was it, than almost a year later it was nearing my birthday again and she offered me to get Taste of Chaos ticket for that year but i declined by saying "no, it's too far away" mainly because i was still upset about missing the last lineup and that current lineup i don't really like compared to the last lineup, and l’m pretty sure she offered was because her best friend wanted to go and it was exactly on her friend birthday too
So from that moment on l've decided not to go any concerts for a very long time especially the ones they wanted me to go with them mainly because Ive gotten so used taking no for an answer from them to the concerts I really wanted to go to and also I wanted them to feel what l've felt back than the feeling be being let down, disappointed, Negative feelings,not making any concert memories themselves not seeing the favorite bands. (they could’ve gone to the concerts on their own but they didn’t and that’s on them)
Also aunt isn't alive anymore & it was almost 20 years ago just reminiscing if my actions were justified or not and what I could've differently I’m not bitter / angry I moved on just reminiscing. P.S. for anyone that’s gonna on the concerts I could’ve gone to with my aunt & uncle well I didn’t care about the bands so no emotional loss on me on that and plus I was so used to “no to concerts” at the point it was easy to say no.
So was I the Asshole?
