DH and I have quite different tastes in music. Since we got together we have followed his musical interests around continuously going to various gigs, watching related programs and even frequenting Glastonbury every year which is very much geared towards his musical tastes and not mine.
Recently a friend showed me the band list for download festival and it is 100% me all over. Tons of bands on there I want to see and it looked amazing. She is going with her husband. So I asked DH if next year, we could do this festival instead of Glastonbury - even if it's just a one off because it's so much more "me" and I'd love it. He said no, we have to go to Glastonbury. I explained that the music at Glastonbury is not really my kind of music and just this once I'd love to go to a festival which was all my kind of music, especially as we don't go to see my type of gigs either - it's all his stuff!
He said "oh, looks like me might have to start going to separate festivals." AIBU or is this really selfish considering I have been to Glastonbury with him 4 times and am asking for just one year off to go to a festival that I want to see? He knows I have no friends that would go so knows full well I am stuck. And yes he would go to glastonbury on his own if I didn't go so I can't even pull that one.
