I (22f) brought my friend (22f) to the beach currently I have paid for everything from food to gas and the hotel room for 4 days I’m a single mom of one little guy. We came to the beach for his birthday to celebrate him but as soon as we got here she went to the store and met someone completely random and left to hangout with him a total stranger were on day 2 and she still hasn’t been back. But also on top of that we only have one key and she asked me to leave the door unlocked and cracked so she could get in the room in the middle of the night (she never came back) But she is constantly texting me updates about what she is doing with this man she just met how they went for food and this and that. But then I told her this afternoon I was going to get milkshakes for my sons birthday that is today. Now hours later she is complaining I never invited her. But I brought her with me and I told her I was going I felt as though that was enough of an invite but I shouldn’t have had to say you want to come with. We are about 10 hours from home. So I said are you coming home with me. She said yeah how else would I possibly get home?? but I want to literally just pack up my son and leave her here since she just bonded with a stranger this quick AITA.
ESH. She’s a shitty friend but you don’t strand someone 10 hours away. Let her know you are leaving and what time and that you will leave with or without her. If she doesn’t show, then that’s on her. But at least give her the opportunity to get home with you. Then cut her off after you get home because she’s a bad friend.
My issues is I’m to much of a pushover to actually leave her 🙂↔️ but it ran across my mind. Because she has gaslit me into thinking I’m the issue not inviting her down to the beach, for milkshakes, shopping and etc. but I brought her here and I don’t feel like I need to invite her because she should already be here with me to do these things.
Stop paying for stuff anymore. Just enjoy the one on one time with your son and let her enjoy this townie,
Only thing I’m paying for is gas and mine and my sons food. If she wants something she can ask her hook up because apparently he’s is providing for her just fine.
YWBTA if you left her there, but you are NTA for how you are feeling. She wasted your time and money just to spend her time with a stranger. Also, someone wanting you to leave the door unlocked or cracked when you have a child to look out for is selfish.
NTA. Lock your door. Safety idls more important than her convenience.she ditched you and you owe her nothing
NTA and your friend sucks.
YWBTA if you left her but you’re NTA for wanting to lol. Your feelings are totally valid here she’s being pretty shitty. Tell her you’re not leaving the door open though since it’s unsafe for your baby. She can get another key or come back at a reasonable hour. Enjoy your sons birthday, they only turn one once🥺 focus on the two of you and forget she’s even there
NTA for how you feel but YWBTA if you actually left her there. I would be super disappointed if I brought a friend along to celebrate my young child and paid for the entire trip only for her to disappear with a strange man. There is certainly a time and place for that kind of thing and a childs birthday trip isnt it. I also wouldnt have left the door unlocked, what a wild request with a child in the room. I would have a serious conversation with her once home and cooled off.
