I don't know that it's a really good reason. I did have an unpleasant interaction with someone in the band. I don't have any reason to believe I'd have any personal interaction again, but not being a fan to begin with and then having that experience, just soured me to the whole thing. This was before we were married, and my husband has known that I dislike Kiss from the start. He does understand my reasons and I think if MIL didn't buy tickets, he probably wouldn't ask me to go.
So you think that you will end up hanging with the band and have another unpleasant encounter? Seems like a stretch.
Read her quote above where she clearly says, "I don't have any reason to believe I'd have any personal interaction again"
OP, I am on your side here, you shouldn't have to go to something that you feel strongly about not attending. I get what people are saying about sucking it up and just going, I am sure every happily married couple has done that multiple times, BUT everyone has their limit and that should be respected.
A few years ago my husband and I were taking a little vacation to Washington DC. My husband who is a huge hockey fan wanted to catch a Capitols game. It was the very last thing that I wanted to do, but I said sure, get the tickets and lets go. My limit with attending things, is get togethers with an old childhood friend of my husband. I went for many, many years, but came to realize that being around this guy was becoming pretty unpleasant for me. Now, I don't go and happily do something else while my husband goes to visit him. A win-win for all of us.
Best of luck!
