Me (25f) and my best friend (35m) have been planning for a CosPlay Con and have spent thousands of dollars in prep. The Con is this weekend and my fiance (26m) of 3 years has said I can't go at the last minute. What should I do? I'm supposed to be on a plane tomorrow.Relationships

submitted 13 hours ago * by FFcosplay

I literally never thought I would be in this position with my fiance, he's never showed the slightest hint of jealousy over anyone, especially my best friend "Mike." I have known Mike since I was 15 and we really connected over our love of RPG, fantasy and CosPlay type things. My fiance has known Mike was in the picture since well before I met him. I love Mike to death but there isn't a shred of romantic attraction to him and there never has been been.

We have known about this upcoming Con for a long time and Mike and I decided to go all out. Our plan was to go as Princess Sarah and Dark Knight Leon from Final Fantasy. We have spent countless hours on our costumes. We really wanted to blow this Con out of the water so we have spent thousands of dollars on these Costumes and although they are one character, they are both modular and can be used for the entire weekend. I have looked forward to this like you wouldn't believe.

I think it was in March when I told my fiance that Mike and I were planning on going, and I asked him to come with us. I wasn't aware of this but fiance's college football team has a huge game this weekend and he really wanted to be there so we agreed that Mike and I would go and he would stay here. No hard feelings at all for the last, what, 5 months? In fact other then showing him my costume he never said a word about it.

Well just now fiance asked what the sleeping arrangements would be, I told him (again btw) that Mike and I would be sharing a hotel room to save some money. My fiance literally freaked out, he said there's no way I would be staying in the same hotel room as Mike. That he would leave me and the wedding would be off. I told him that Mike and I have stayed in a hotel room many, many times (all before I was engaged, but still) and nothing has ever happened and that in fact he knew what our plans were. He said that he didn't know what my plans were and that I never told him. I said i did tell him. He then said "the final word" is that if I stay in a hotel room with Mike it's over.

I honestly don't know if he's bluffing but I have worked so hard for this, my tickets and hotel room are non refundable. My best friend worked really hard on this and I would be screwing him over if I don't go. I feel like it's so unfair of my fiance to lay this on me at the literal last minute. I have looked for other hotel rooms and even AirBNB to see if we can make something else work but there must be something going on in that city because everything is booked or upwards of $300 a night which I can't even begin to afford, neither can Mike.

How should I handle this and what should I do?

tl;dr: I've planned for months and spent thousands of dollars in prep for a CosPlay Con this weekend. I was attending with my best friend Mike and at the last minute my fiance says I can't go. What should I do?

Edit: well this way turned into more about my debt than anything, people just have to trust me that I'll get it figured out and I'm not at all worried about it. Also my fiancé has not been in touch for over 12 hours now and won't respond to texts. I'm just going to go on the trip.

When your fiance isn't your best friend, maybe you shouldn't marry them!

tl;dr: Marry Mike!

Since I read the sushi casserole post I've been frantically googling sushi casserole recipes. Literally all of them involve either baking the fish or starting with imitation crab meat, sashimi casserole returns nothing similar to what was described. I'm concluding that this was, as someone said, the wife's attempt to murder her coworkers.

The reddit detective squad was on the case about why a second hotel room wasn't an option:

quote:

I'd belive that OP is broke and acting in good faith if she just mismanaged money (you need to be literally burning money in the fireplace for that cos to be $1000) and there's 10 people packed in a hotel room for 2. That sounds more normal.

OP needs to stop being an e-girl and start living real life. No one puts up with that kind of poo poo.

Edit 2: OP has a fine arts degree, graduated last year, still not looking for jobs, but not worried because she has a degree which equals a good job, so she can totally pay off all the debt she put herself into for this con in a snap if she wanted to. She has $24 to her name (ignoring her thousands in cosplay debt), but don't worry, her idea to open an online cosplay store will make her a multi millionaire by the time she's 30.

I'm not even kidding, look at her post history.

But is it? Women solidify brain connections earlier in life than men do, meaning they mature sooner than their male counterparts. They have larger vocabularies than their male peers and they are often looking further into the future of their lives than their male peers. Why then would it be surprising for women to seek out conversation with older men who are more likely to match their maturity level? Additionally, context matters. Not everyone will mature at the same rate due to the context of their personal experience. Some people may be stunted simply due to a lack of experience, living in a sheltered household or due to their own personal drive. It shouldn't be taken to mean that there's something malignant about their motives.

The original post even made it sound like he's actually going to the game, which makes that even worse. Even a lovely college football game is a lot of fun when you're there. I go see UConn get blown out once a year with my friends and it's way better than being at some gross convention, and I've never felt the need to spend several thousand dollars on it.

The recipes weren't inherently bad but they all used fish that had been cooked. The comments for this post revealed that she got Chinese market mystery-fish which she filleted herself, and since she prepared the dish the night before, it was raw fish of dubious origin and preparation hanging out in mayo overnight in addition to the hours spent at the potluck.

At this point I wish I could take a sample of the dish just to see what kinds of wondrous things were growing in it.

Considering she mentioned it's his alma mater, I'm pretty sure he's going with people he knew from college. Who goes to sports games alone, anyway?

(The answer to that is probably "people romantically involved with cosplay enthusiasts", now that I think about it)

Yeah there's some whole separate issues going on there to the point where I wonder if the ultimatum is less about jealousy and more just an explosion over her hobbies and life attitude that the con itself directly represents.
