/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>10027128
I don't know what to do anons. Outside of cons and cosplay our relationship is perfect, genuinely. He's my best friend.
But when it comes to him helping me with cosplay, he gets overly obsessive and nitpicky.
And when it comes to cons, it doesn't even seem like he enjoys being there. We both went separately before we knew each other, I don't know why it's so different now that we're together?
The worst thing is that I lost my badge. I put my number on the back just in case and I actually got it returned to me by a really nice guy. That Saturday night he actually texted me and asked if I was going to the rave. I was already passed out, and it's not like I was going to go dance with some rando guy anyway.
But it made me imagine dating someone who actually wanted to go out and do stuff and how much fun I would have had instead of crying in the shower about how much of a waste of time and effort and money my weekend was.
I love my boyfriend so much but I just don't have a great time with him at cons and I don't know what the solution is. We talked about compromising but at the end of the day I'll still feel bad if I'm dragging him around to do stuff he doesn't want to do.
Do you guys attend cons with your SOs? Have you ever had conflictions like this? Maybe this wouldn't be a problem if either of us had any friends outside each other, lol.
I don't want to sound selfish or ungrateful, he's really a lovely guy and I know he loves spending time together, but I feel like he's miserable attending cons, even if he says he wants to go. And I want him to enjoy himself, but I also want to do all the stuff I've been doing at cons for years without feeling like I'm dragging him down.
