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?

Blimey. Overprotective much?

Clutch the pearls. Adult man, takes women to a show and may share a room with her at a hotel! We best inform the elders!!

Seriouslt though, whats the worry?

That he will lose his innocence? That hes vulnerable in some way? That hes going to behave like a predator? That hes going embarass himself?

Frankly I think it weird hes explained the sleeping arrangements to you and cant really understand why his plans matter?

was it a typo, he's 16 and you're worried he will be a teen dad or something? Because otherwise this post makes no sense. Why on earth can't a 26 year old adult man have a 'not innocent' hotel stay with a woman?

Is this a typo? Did you mean 16? At 26 I’d be delighted.

Wind up... unless you meant 26 months?

🧌

Ha! I hadn't read last post before mine...snap.

What on earth? He’s 26! Has he had a very sheltered life?

I bet you will wash & iron all his clothes & pack his bag won't you. Jesus woman, I have 4 sons so trust me when I say this CUT THE CORD He's 20 friggin 6!

please explain what you are worried about. Nobody here is understanding what your problem is.

This must be a joke? Unless you are worried because he normally doesn’t go anywhere at all and might be out of his depth? Even then it’s probably a good thing? At least he is telling you where he is going.

HE’S TWENTY-SIX

ffs

To the numerous posters who have said that it is non of OP's business / beeswax ... the word is NONE (note the 'e') not "non".

Thanks

Is his name Timothy?

(if you’re old enough, you’ll know)

Got to be a joke

I’m reading this hoping the trip isn’t “innocent” .
Hope they have a good time .

Timothy Lumsden??🤣

Language, Timothy

How do you find other threads from a poster? I can only see this thread from OP?

That would be him. 😀

Using the Advanced search feature (click search and then select advanced search) then type details in whichever box suits your fancy!

If the 2 in 26 was actually a 1 then I'd have some sympathy but TWENTY SIX?!!

You are 'worried' a fully grown man who'll be thirty real soon might be having sex?!!

What the actual fuck OP?!!!

Why “unless he has mental health issues”? Lots of people have mental health issues and are still perfectly competent to consent to sex.

@YankSplaining Yes obviously.
But if he has serious MH issues then it may not be a good idea for him to be travelling alone to London/a city he is unfamiliar with etc. Not all people are the same.........

Sarah Ferguson emailed Jeffrey Epstein saying she was "just waiting for Eugenie to come back from a shagging weekend!!".

OP, it is a thing. You are right to be worried.
