When Sabrina became's Austin's girlfriend almost two years ago, he had high hopes for their future. He wasn't expecting it to be perfect, of course, but he didn't expect things to go the way they have been for months now.
hey, babe
you free at all tonight?
for like an hour at least?
Sorry, babe
Mom’s making me go to the venue to check on the flower setup
She thinks they’re going to mess up the colors
oh okay
the wedding is a big deal
i get it
what about now though?
i’m not doing anything and was hoping we could just hang out
i can't, babe
I’m already omw to the gym
Coach just texted me
He said I have to run through my whole routine twice
that’s what you said yesterday
and the day before
we haven’t had a real talk in days, Sabrina
honestly
it feels like i haven’t actually seen you in almost a week
i’m trying really hard to be cool about this
but i;m starting to feel like i don’t have a girlfriend after all
Austin, please don’t be like that
You know how much this competition means to me
This isn’t just some hobby
This is my shot at qualifying for the next level
I can’t mess this up
I need to be 100% focused and I can’t afford to be distracted right now
so i’m a distraction now?
i just want to see my girlfriend
what about us?
I can’t just skip my training
Or the wedding stuff
A lot of important stuff’s just happening right now
I thought you understood how much these matter to me
i do understand
i’ve been understanding for months
when is it my turn?
i’m not asking you to skip major events in your life for me
all i’m asking for is an hour
or are you telling me you can’t spare that much for me?
I don’t HAVE an hour
I can’t give you something I don’t have
I have training, then mom
Then I have to go home and prep all my meals for tomorrow and do my stretching routine
I’m exhausted
I’m just trying to get through all this
"get through all this" huh
yeah, okay
got it
have a good workout
I will
Talk to you later
While he understands her and supports her, it's undeniable that he has his frustrations about the situation.
hey man, you up?
yup, just watching vid
what's up with u?
not much
just thinking
uh oh, that sounds serious 😂
how are things with Sabrina?
u guys good?
man, i don't know
i never see her anymore
like ever
if she has so much as a free second, it goes to her mom and the wedding
if not that, it's the gym
i seriously feel like i'm on the bottom of her priority list
if i'm even on the list at all
and i get it
i do
the crossfit stuff is nuts and training is exhausting
it just sucks
damn bro, that's rough 😟
so let's be real
u ain't getting any, are u?
it's been a while, yeah
a long while
but that's not even the main thing
sure, it's a big part of it
but i mainly feel ignored
like she barely even has time to talk to me
i have a girlfriend
but i feel LONELY
that's pretty messed up, right?
yeah, that's def messed up
but hey, u guys still have that France trip, right?
that's coming up soon
it'll be better when u guys are finally away from all this
i'm counting on it
i'm just trying to hold on until then
just gotta get through the competition and the wedding
then we can finally be just us again
exactly
just hang in there
that trip is gonna be sick fr
anyway, don't just sit there and mope all night
wanna hop on and play a few rounds?
nah, not really in the mood
probably just gonna find something to watch and crash
aight, i get it
hmu tomorrow if u wanna do something
for sure
thanks for listening, man
With all these pent-up emotions already inside him, he soon reaches his boiling point.
Hey, babe
Do you have a minute?
I need to talk to you about something
yeah, i’m free
what’s up?
I just got a really stressful email from my coach
They have to reschedule the competition because of a problem with the venue
okay…
and?
And they did move it
The main events are now right in the middle of our trip
what?
what are you saying?
The competition dates
They’re now scheduled on the second week of our France trip
So I can’t go
just like that?
Sabrina
we’ve had this planned since before graduation
we booked the flights
we booked the hostel in Paris
I know, but this isn’t something I can control
They moved the date
And I have to be there for it
This is the qualifier I’ve been training for all year
so that’s it, you just choose the competition?
what about us?
what about this trip?
this was the one thing we had planned to do together
This isn’t just any choice
This is my future
This is what I’ve been working for
I can’t just skip the biggest competition of my season for a vacation
And on top of that, my mom’s wedding is the day after we were supposed to get back
I can’t be flying from halfway around the world and then deal with her wedding the day after I land
I’d be a wreck
Mom would kill me
i understand the thing about the wedding
but a vacation?
that’s all you think the trip is?
we planned it together and i haven’t seen you in weeks
i’ve been trying so hard to be patient and supportive
i’ve been holding out for this trip so we could finally be just us
so i could feel like i do actually have a girlfriend again
and you’re just dropping it
What do you want me to do?
Tell my coach I’m quitting?
Throw away all the work I’ve done?
I’m sorry, Austin
I really am
I feel awful about it
But my mind is made up
I can’t and won’t go
so what am i supposed to do?
just lost all the money i paid for the flights?
I’ll pay you back my half
I’m not trying to screw you over, Austin
I’ll give you the money for the hostel deposit back too
this isn’t about the money, Sabrina
this is about the fact that i am so clearly dead last on your list of priorities
it’s always the gym or something else
i’m probably not even on that list at all
That’s not fair
This is a huge opportunity for me
I thought you’d understand that
all i’ve done is understand
i’ve been understanding for months
and i also understand that this trip was only really important to me
i’ve been holding out for this trip, but you just canceled it without even a fight
so fine
Fine what?
fine, i’ll figure out the trip myself
What does that mean?
You’re just not going?
no, it means i am going
Alone?
what choice do i have?
my girlfriend just proved she’d rather be anywhere else
That’s so unfair, Austin
You’re twisting this to make me the bad guy
I’m just trying to deal with an uncontrollable situation
This is a huge opportunity for me
But you’re just making me feel guilty for taking it
Look…
I’m getting upset
So this is not the best time to talk about this
And I’m going to be late
I have to go to training
We can talk about this later
i expected as much
Thanks to that, Austin makes a surprising decision.
yo, man
wtf is going on?
i just saw ur ig story
u at the airport?
yeah
then i swiped and saw Sabrina's
she's trying on dresses with her mom?
i thought u guys were leaving for France today 😂
she's not coming
she bailed
SHE WHAT
SERIOUSLY? 💀
after all that planning?
yup
broooo
that's SO messed up
apparently, they moved her stupid competition to the middle of the trip
so it was impossible for her to go
that and her mom's wedding
i understand that one though
bro 😟
aside from that, there's always something or another
and i'm always last
i'm just so tired of it, man
so i'm just gonna go alone
that's actually awful
but u're really going by urself?
yeah
my flight boards in like an hour
i'm not just gonna lose all that money
and honestly
i just need to get away from everything here
well u know what
GOOD FOR U
seriously
and don't u dare sit in a hostel room moping ur whole trip
u'll be in Europe
have the time of ur life
have so much fun that when u get back, she'll be pissed and regret she missed it
take and post ALL the pics
yeah, maybe
feels weird as hell going alone
but whatever
it's gonna be awesome
now get off ur phone and board that plane
i don't board for another hour
u know what i mean lol
and send me pics of all the hot French girls 😂
shut up haha
HAVE FUN 🔥🔥
