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?

@JosieMay1970 its time to let go of your son. He's 26 , a grown man. Have you had a chat with him about consent gor both parties and contraception??
If he's lived a sheltered life as you have described he might not be aware of these things?
Let the poor lad have some fun!!!

@JosieMay1970 Can you tell your son that you will be joining them? That way you can make sure there will be no intermittent shagging going on.

Is there a drip feed about him having SN?

Yer what 🧐

He’s 26 🤦‍♀️

I really hope that was a typo and he's actually 16. If he's actually 26 then fingers crossed they are getting it on and he actually has a life.

surely you should be delighted he is doing a normal adult sociable outing?

checks is this the summer holidays and the kids are out of school and bored?

or have you made a typo and he’s really 15?

Cause…what?!

My friend is 44 and her mother is still like the OP....
Please let him just be.

Why are you worried about him at 26? If he is not either vulnerable or a predator then he can do what he likes

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

And so what if she is? He's 26. 🙄

This man is 26 years old

Unclench

This is a 26 year old man.

If he was 16 I would agree but he's 26 for goodness sake.

Unbelievable! Leave the man alone.

I think good for him, and it’s none of your business what his intentions are.

Oh is this a plop and run…?

Unless his ‘friend’ is under 16 then none of your business

Are people really falling for this?

WTF have I just read. I am seriously hoping it was a typo and you meant 16 not 26.

Else what, exactly, is it you are worried about? Have I missed something?

What is the worry with an adult going out with another adult? It’s no wonder he’s never talked about a girl before

As PPs have said, unless are additional vulnerabilities or it’s a typo and you mean a 16 year old, this is pretty weird OP. He could be living with someone, married with his own children at 26.

Oh lord. Leave him be. It's quite frankly not your concern. I thought for one minute you were going to say he had just turned 16 😵‍💫

No wonder he doesn’t talk to you 🙈

Deffo a wind up.
