Having a shit time on holiday?

I’m in fucking Miami and I’m miserable.

Came with a friend (supported her for 9 years listening to her bullshit relationship the entire time) and now they’ve broken up again for good and it’s all she’s talked about the entire holiday and we went out for breakfast and she started crying.

I’m genuinely not a horrible friend as I have supported her for so long but I paid for this holiday too and our conversation is just going around in circles saying the exact same thing.

Enjoy your holiday, either she’ll be with you or will go home, doesn’t effect you now

I said I was sick of talking about him - apparently in her opinion makes me a fake friend

Somehow I doubt a "fake friend" would have paid for her holiday (BTW you didn't mention how that came about?)

I'd worry that this is more foot-stamping than a real determination to go home, but who knows ... either way, surely you can do your own thing now rather than hang around?

A 26 year old rang her Dad to complain about her friend.

I’d leave her be tbh. You will just have to get on with your holiday on your own. I know that you wanted company but she is not going to enhance your holiday in any way.

Don’t enter into any rows with her. She is possibly transferring her anger over the relationship on to you. Don’t feed into it.

Organise trips and evening activities for yourself. A walking tour is a good idea so you will get to meet others.

By the way why did you pay for her? Do you need somebody to accompany you? Who will pay for the ticket changes?

I don’t think OP paid for both of them. I read it as her being annoyed because they both spent money on the holiday but neither of them are getting to enjoy it because of the friends moaning

I see what you mean, zoezipp - maybe I read it wrong then Blush

I hope the friend has gone home - the OP will have a much better holiday without her.

What a nightmare. Leave her to it OP, she really needs to get a grip.

Just enjoy your holiday and go meet new people

Has she gone yet Napalmskies?
