My family and I go on Christmas vacation every year and this year it’s just my mom and I. I decided to invite my best friend to have someone to go out with since my old mama doesn’t like to go out too late. My mom had paid for the hotels and we only had to pay for our flights. Since I invited my friend she has started dating someone new who I have yet to hangout with and get to really know. Today she dropped the bomb on me that her boyfriend wants to come down for the second half of our trip so they can spend new years together. I totally understand that with a new crush / love you want to be together and have special moments with but I feel like I’m going to be turned into a third wheel on a vacation I invited her to be a part of. We are spending the first half in a quiet town in France and second half in Paris where we’ve both talked about going to for a while and we talked about going out to bars and clubs together once my mom goes back to the hotel in the evening. I feel kind of used that ok you’ll take the free hotel for the first half but when we get to Paris you’ll leave me for your boyfriend. Even if she did leave to go do stuff with her boyfriend I’d feel awkward knowing we’re both in a country we talked about visiting together for so long but not hanging with each other. When she asked today and I said I didn’t feel comfortable she seemed pissed and we kind of dropped the conversation. I just had a whole girl/ trip planned out and now feel like including someone I barley know is just gonna throw off the vibe. Am I an asshole to stick to my “no he’s not welcome” stance even if it causes a rift in our friendship ?
