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?

None of your business i'm afraid!

He’s 26! Good on him if they are more than friends.

Why are you worried ?
Is he SEN , or vulnerable?
If he’s a regular 26 year old man then I hope he has a nice weekend with his female or male friend.
If he’s vulnerable then I hope you’ve equipped him with some common sense ?

Well, the OTT poster hasn't returned. Either a wind-up merchant, getting MN frothing, or a deeply troubling overly enmeshed mother who didn't like what she read.

Yes - and if this isn't a massive troll on the windup, OP's controlling attitude might leave that poor lad vulnerable to emotional abuse when he does find someone. She needs therapy and fast.

That's incorrect. There are plenty of regions where people say mummy instead of mum. Where I'm from it's considered embarrassing and 'posh' to say mum.
