My husband loves to live life to the fullest, is an ‘all or nothing’ kind of guy, and can be impulsive when he’s excited about something.

An artist he likes (maybe loves, but is not a die hard fan of), is coming to a country near us (5 hour flight), and he bought tickets even after me saying I don’t really want to go and it’s not a good idea.

My issue is that I can’t get leave from work, so I will need to leave on Saturday morning, and come back on Monday morning on a red eye and go straight to work. I care about my quality of work because I just got this job after months of being unemployed, and I don’t want to be exhausted and off my game with a whole week of work ahead.

This is also a significant cost! Plane tickets + concert tickets + food + accommodation + transport = around 1300 USD. He says he’ll pay for it if I’m uncomfortable with the cost, but I just don’t think this is a good time for us to be dropping all this money (re: I was unemployed for months).

So am I overthinking this, or AITA for not wanting to go for this concert?
