Festivals are a creative way to honor different illustrious traditions, cultures, and heritage. They are intended to celebrate significant events in our lives with the people we love.

They are crucial in giving our social lives shape and in keeping us connected to our roots and family. They provide us with a diversion from the monotonous daily grind of life and some motivation to keep in mind the significant events and times.

The purpose of festivals is to transmit myths, information, and customs to future generations. And I guess that’s one of the reasons this Redditor chose to go for one with her friend, though they had their own personal reasons.

The OP posted her story to the AITA subreddit community, telling them how her boyfriend has chosen to be stubborn on an issue that already had a solution. According to her story, she and her girlfriend were going to a festival that would last five days, but then they needed someone to watch over the dog.

The OP clearly had a solution that sounded great, but then her boyfriend was still being headstrong and saying that "he doesn’t want others watching his dog for that long." Well, I’ll just pause it right here and let you read the whole story in the OP’s own words below.

And here, we have the headline...

Everyone has grown up now

He won't be able to take on additional clients...

Here is a solution proposed by the OP

My mom is happy to pop in

I'm off on teacher summer

Most of the comments showed that redditors were in support of the OP since she clearly had a solution to the problem, and they thought that her boyfriend was just being overly jealous while using the dog as an excuse. Below are some of their most upvoted comments, so go ahead and read them all.

1. Nothing more than usual for a pup

2. You have a whole gang happy to take care of the dog

3. He doesn't seem like he wants a solution

4. This Redditor is suggesting the dog being put in kennels

5. You should tell him you're disappointed

6. We're just hitting a bit of stale mate

7. Try to ignore as he blows up your phone

8. Be explicit about the number of days you'll be gone

9. You came up with a very reasonable solution

10. He wouldn't be puppy sitting that much

11. He just has an issue with you going away

12. You could have explained the Weeknd in advance

13. He should see it as the time goes

14. The puppy is just an excuse for different things

15. What do we do for pets???

16. It's not like you're out all the time

17. This redditor is advising not procreate with the guy

18. It's on him if he doesn't want to take the offer

19. He's trying to guilt trip you into not going

20. The puppy thing is just an excuse to make you feel bad and guilty

Having a pet means that you’ve got responsibilities, and you can’t just abandon them without making proper arrangements. If you ask me, the OP had a good solution to the problem, but her boyfriend is just making things difficult, or do you think otherwise?
