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?

What?! Did you type 26 in error?!

Surely this is just a troll post for engagement.

If not I hope your son has a lovely weekend with his friend/boyfriend and isn’t stressing about having such an unloving mother.

It really is none of your business if your son is 26 years old.
Unless you think him particularly vulnerable in some way. But if he is not then girl or not it is up to him.

26

So funny lol.

You should be more concerned about a 26 year old who never goes out.

I need you to urgently tell me what you think intermittently means.

It clearly says girl, why do you think boyfriend?

Get a life. He’s 26.

It's possible (though by no means certain) that there is something romantic/sexual going on between them, but if so, why bother with the extra expense of separate rooms? Anyway, if there is, they're both way over the age of consent and I can only think of two reasons for worrying about it:

1. because you belong to a religion that does not allow sex before marriage (but does he share those beliefs? If not, it's not your responsibility to decide for him!)

1. you are inappropriately over-protective and it would benefit both of you if you could manage to let go!

Is this real? It’s absolutely none of your business, but hopefully yes they will get it on if they like each other

He’s 26. Your strange.

I hope they have a great time

I think your are on the money with this!

🤔 he's 26 ffs

I thought half term had finished 🙄

I don’t get it. He’s 26 not 16!

It’s none of your business really is it at 26. At some point you need to let him go & do grown up things. This could be the start of him going out more & having a lovely time. Let it gooooo!!!!

Whatever has it got to do with you?

I'm surprised he has told you anything at all about his trip.

He might be going to shag his brains out OP

Is this a joke?

At 16 they can't be in many hotel rooms without an adult who booked being there. So if you menat 16 - then I'd be worried about whole thing.

If you really did mean 26 - he's an adult - what he does with who as long as it's legal isn't really any of your bussiness unless he wants you to know.

Unless special needs leave alone. 26!

I think you should tell him to cancel or go with him because no way would I allow my 26 year old to London in separate rooms with a friend of either gender. My god

Hard to differentiate if you are referring to the OP or some of these answers.

Oh my goodness me. He’s 26 not 16! If he tells you they’re friends they are friends until he mentions otherwise. Whether or not they’ve got a friends with benefits relationship is absolutely nothing to do with you. What is there to worry about?!

Does he still live at home? I have to say one of the biggest problems with the housing crisis is parents having far too much daily info about their young adult children. It’s not healthy.

Lighten up brace yourself it could be a man he’s with
do what u in f they get together no. Issues

what are your worries

He’s an adult. This is none of your business
