A holidaymaker has been left furious after their boyfriend "betrayed" them by inviting a pal on their "romantic getaway" together. At the beginning of March, the previously loved-up couple were due to travel to France to spend some "quality time" with one another.
But the excited beau was shocked to learn their partner had told his friend he could join them - and he had already booked his flight. the Mirror reports. Taking to Reddit to explain the situation further, they wrote: "His own words not mine, just to spend some quality time together because we’ve both been busy with work.
"I was excited about the trip and to spend some quality time with my boyfriend but then he drops this bombshell on me. He invited one of his friends because apparently he’s always wanted to see France, so my boyfriend thought he would be kind and asked his friend to come along".
When confronting their other half, the boyfriend refused to send his pal packing, since he'd already booked his flight, and said the third wheel would sleep on the sofa in their hotel room. The stubborn boyfriend also said he was "entitled" to bring a plus-one, since he had paid for most of the Euro break.
The ostracised other half said: "He did all of this without telling me a thing. I told my boyfriend that quite frankly, I don’t want his friend to come and it was supposed to be a romantic getaway, but he said that his friend won't bother us and he’ll do his own thing. I don’t know, I just don’t feel comfortable with it.
"We argued for a bit more with him saying that he paid for most of the trip so he feels entitled to be able to bring his friend along. In the end I just got so fed up. I may be a bit dramatic but I felt betrayed so I told him I wouldn’t be coming if his friend was.
"He said I was being ridiculous and I should go since its been paid for anyway and I was being overly dramatic but this is how I feel, he said I was being manipulative and cruel for making him choose between me and his friend."
Turning to Reddit to seek some advice from others, the peeved partner questioned whether or not they were overreacting about the situation. However, the vast majority of people were strongly on their side as they said the author's boyfriend does not "respect" them.
One person remarked: "He can enjoy a romantic getaway with his friend— it sounds like that’s what he wants anyways. He doesn’t respect you. Keep that in mind going forward."
Another replied: "He unilaterally changed the trip. You are entitled to decide you no longer wish to go. And I really hope he isn’t expecting you to be comfortable sharing a bed with him with someone else five feet away."
A third commented: "How is it a romantic getaway if there is someone else snoring in the next bed/sofa...????"
