> [@Magiver](#): > > Do the math. She’s going every week. Or put another way, every weekend she’s gone. I love live music and could easily spend every friday at a bar for a couple of hours listening to bands. This goes way beyond that and would not only cut into couples-time on the weekend it would eliminate it. …except that they’re in a long-distance relationship. So unless she’s specifically opting to go to these things rather than get together with the OP, then she’d be chatting online with him anyway (from home rather than a hotel room). ---

I am not saying that I buy the OP but as an intellectual exercise if I suspend disbelief and assume that he is telling the truth I would be inclined to say that if you read between the lines of the OP what he is really saying is “I think my girlfriend is banging other dudes”. As a rule, that sort of intuition should be listened to. She is probably banging other dudes. ---

To put this another way: yes, it is very sexist of you to assume that because I conclude that the woman in question is having sex with multiple partners that I must also think of her as a whore. I am sorry to see that you have been this poisoned by the world in which we live and suggest that you could benefit from some sensitivity training. ---

It would be so much easier to bang dudes in town than pick a band, follow them around, and find a dude to bang in each destination city. ---

> [@Taber](#): > > She’s in a long distance relationship. It would be so much easier to bang dudes in town than pick a band, follow them around, and find a dude to bang in each destination city. Though, if we are adopting the hypothesis that the GF is banging some other dude(s), it might be someone associated with the band, or someone else similarly going to every concert. So, my advice that the OP should go to one of these concerts still stands. (But I note that the OP has not yet returned to this thread, or even to this messageboard, so we may be just amusing ourselves with these hypotheses, and not really helping the OP at all – if, indeed, the OP actually needs any help.) ---

I reckon the OP’s the same person who pretended to be a doddery old woman who’d just discovered this “internet” thingy, a couple of years back. That ran for a few threads, as I remember. ---

That ran for a few threads, as I remember. I think the OP has a understated panache and flair. Seriously, I like the touch about the re-connection between him and his long lost HS girlfriend, long ago torn apart by a tragic set of circumstances, and how now, once reunited, only her passion for the timeless music of a 20-something ex- American Idol stands in thier way of eternal bliss… ---

Give her (and the men at these shows) some damn credit. Are there likely to be many men at a David Cook concert? I envision a sea of soccer moms. ---

Well, obviously she is a groupie. Albeit a groupie for some lame ass “rockers”. Nobody has ever seen [The Banger Sisters](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=mo1&q=cold+borscht&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g2)? Surely David Cook and Daughtry are getting some? She’s obviously in the lexan cage under the stage exposing herself and having lewd lesbian affairs. It’s likely she’s sucking Big Dan, the Backstage Man’s Cock. ---

It’s hard to tell if the OP is real or a clever joke. I would like to think that it’s the latter, but have a sinking suspicion that it’s the former. ---
