AIBU in worrying that my son’s trip with his “friend” isn’t so innocent

[JosieMay1970]

My son (26) who never goes out, has told me he is going on a trip to London over the weekend to watch a show with his friend, he says they’ve booked separate rooms but I’m worried. He’s never talked about a girl before and claims they’re just friends.

My main concern is they’re going to be in a hotel together, albeit in separate rooms as he claims… does this trip sound like it’s just so he can get together with her intermittently?

AIBU in thinking this is more than just a friend and more than an innocent hotel stay?

Okay you made a typo and he’s 16, right OP??

He’s 26!
All you need to do is hope he has a lovely time

He’s 26 keep your beak out

If it was a typo surely she would have been back to correct that by now.

I do feel a bit bad now joking about this, because looking at the OP’s other posts, it’s clear she’s quite anxious about a lot of things.
OP can you try and think about what about this is making you anxious? Can you flip it and be pleased that your son is venturing out and has a friend / relationship. That’s healthier than him not going out at 26, surely?

Sorry what 😂 I initially misread and thought it said 16.

But 26!!! It’s absolutely none of your business what the sleeping arrangement is or whether they’re just friends. He’s very much a grown man who may or may not be in the early stages of dating someone and not yet wish to divulge the details. It’s really none of your business.

He’s never talked about a girl because he knows you treat him like a toddler.

What exactly is it that you're worried about OP?

???? Wtf has it to do with you???

Did the doctor forget to snip the umbilical cord?! He's a grown man for goodness sake!

Is it a woman or a 'friend' who may be male or female? OP just said friend. Man or woman he is 26. If it's a shag fest I hope he enjoys every minute. Just hope OP hasn't got the hotel details.

Hes 26 its NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS get a life!!

None of your business- he in 26 FFS

This is one of those threads where you click on a poll and you know before it displays the results it’s going to be 99% YABU and the other 1% clicked on the wrong option!

Because she was always treated like a baby, so when she has to do anything that involves responsibility or acting like an adult, then she gets anxiety.

Having had a quick trawl through OPs posting history, I suspect this might be correct sadly.

So what if it’s not innocent

What business is it of yours? Your son is 26 for goodness sakes, he's entitled to a private life. Does he still live with you?

I think this post is a wind up.

OP, it might not be.a girl......

Has he got ALN? If not WTAF

Whhhaaaa?

Timothy and Mrs Lumsden?

I assume OP meant to type 16 and not 26 (hopefully)

I’ve looked at the ops other threads. This isnt a wind up, she’s a very anxious overthinker.
@JosieMay1970 he’s 26. Let him have his fun.
And I suggest you get some counselling re your anxiety. Spend some time talking to them about priorities and what does/does not need to be worried about.

It’s none of your business. He’s 26. What on earth does this sleeping arrangement have to do with you as his mother?!
