Woman backs out of 30th birthday girl's trip after friend insists on bringing husband on vacation: 'I didn't sign up for a couples trip'

Something that people often don't consider when they enter a serious relationship is the effect that it is going to have on their friendships. While in most cases, maintaining a so-called life partner requires more time and energy than a friend, letting that partner take over every single aspect of your life is generally not advisable. It is an issue that some people lose lifelong, close friendships over.

When you want your partner to be included in your life outside of the relationship, it is important to exercise judgment as to when and where they are welcome. As a wedding plus one? Great, unless one of the wedding party has some kind of vendetta against them. When you plan to go on a celebratory holiday with only your friends? It has the potential to get very awkward very quickly if it wasn't a part of the plan from the very beginning.

When one woman faced the prospect of a celebratory vacation with her best friend involving her friend's husband, she found herself feeling uncomfortable. Initially, the friend had organized the trip for just the two of them to celebrate her 30th birthday, but she then told her that her husband wanted to come too.
Despite claiming that she would subsidize the trip, the woman was not happy with the change in plans, as she had expected it to be a trip that was just the two of them. She wanted to know if she was unreasonable for wanting to cancel.
