Backstory, I have a friend of many years (I'll call her Lucy) who I used to do a lot of travelling with when we were in our 20s. Despite going through various stages of our lives such as boyfriends, my marriage etc we would still managed to go away to at least one place together every year or two years.
Recently Lucy's completely stopped the holidays with friends in exchange for holidays with her DP of 3 years. Fair enough, life happens. There's been a few talks of a girly holiday (prompted by me) which never amounted to anything and Lucy's ended up booking a holiday with her DP instead. Once again completely fair enough.
So my AIBU is that Lucy's brought up the girl's holiday again, which seemed a bit surprising as I dropped the idea a while back. It turns out her DP wants to go away with a friend of his, and has been asking Lucy when she's going away with her friends so he can book to go with his friend at the same time 🤔AIBU to feel a bit used, and that Lucy only wants to plan something because her DP has been pestering her for dates he can go away. It feels as though she doesn't actually want to go away but she wants something to do whilst DP isn't around. Would it be petty to make up excuses and go with another friend (who actually wants to go) instead?
