The schedule was:
Doors: 18:00
Opener: 19:00 (some very random unknown band)
Rise Against: Scheduled for 20:00, started a bit late (a few mins after 8 PM).

And they finished at around 21:15 - 21:20!

Budapest Park literally stated on the official schedule that the concert would last until 22:00. I wasn't actually expecting them to play that long because yeah, standard headline sets are usually around 90 minutes. But ending at 21:15 is just crazy.
That’s barely 70 minutes of stage time for a headlining act. The energy was great, I loved seeing them, but ending that early when the venue itself said 10 PM is very disappointing.

Hi everyone. This happened a while ago, but I still can’t get over it and just need to get it out of my system.

Some context: my boyfriend and I were going to college in a big city far away from our hometowns, so naturally, we had to find apartments in the area.
At first, we lived separately because we hadn't been together for very long. However, we eventually decided to move in together because we both had awful roommates. I was already planning to leave my flat, and since my boyfriend was living in an apartment owned by his family, he had the option to ask his current roommates to move out.

At first, my MIL agreed to this setup. She even told me I didn’t have to pay rent, which felt very nice, unexpected, and honestly, not like her at all. The only “catch” was that we had to share the apartment with my boyfriend’s sister, who was starting college that same year. I didn’t mind that because she was nice to me until then and I thought I would finally feel a bit more included.

Right before the semester started, my MIL suddenly changed the rules. Out of nowhere, she announced that I could actually only live there every other week. Which made absolutely zero sense. I had classes every single week. Was I supposed to magically find another apartment for the remaining weeks?? My boyfriend tried to reason with her and told her how ridiculous she was being, but she just wouldn't budge.

I desperately tried to find another apartment last minute, but it was too late. The housing market here is brutal and the prices are astronomical. Because of this ridiculous arrangement, I ended up missing half of my classes that semester.

The whole living situation was a nightmare. The sister kept picking fights and would constantly yell at me whenever my boyfriend wasn't around, on top of spreading lies about me. After a couple of months of this, my MIL dropped another bomb and told me I had to move out completely - right in the middle of the academic year, when finding a new place was completely impossible.

Thankfully, my boyfriend was absolutely furious with her. He refused to let her treat me this way, so he packed his bags and moved out with me. We ended up living at my parents' house for the rest of that year. Because of the distance, we had to skip all of our classes and only drove to the city for exams. It was exhausting, but by the next school year, we managed to find our own apartment in time.

I’m still so angry about this, I can’t comprehend that she actually agreed with me living there just to later mess with me like this. But I’m incredibly grateful that my boyfriend had my back through it all.
