Hey Reddit,

I'm a student currently on exchange in California for 6 months. My gf is back home in Australia. 

She has always loved EDM (electro dance music) and she is the one who introduced me to the whole culture. She has also been wanting to go to this famous festival called EDC for years, which never happened because she has had exams during that period each year.

As I am in California this year, I will be able to go to the festival and told my gf that I wanted to. To my surprise, she became furious that I would consider going without her, told me that I was "backstabbing her" and that I was "stealing her thing". 

I feel like she is being unreasonable, considering that she will have the possibility to go and most probably will go the following year when I will be in Australia finishing university.

She is asking me not to go, as she says it will "hurt her", and also told me that if I asked her not to go the following year, she would wait.

I really don't know if I'm being unreasonable or not to want to go, can you give me a second opinion?

Thank you
