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?

Trying to police his sex life at 26 what a joke.

I hope he has a wonderful time with his girl/boyfriend away from his DM.

26 and never goes out? Unless there's a hell of a dripfeed incoming, I wish him well with his online girlfriend/boyfriend.

This post has me very concerned, why on earth would this or anything related with your son's sex life be any of your business? I'm sorry OP but this post comes across as deranged

God,me too !!!

They’ll be shagging away all weekend love

This is a trolling/rage bait post surely. Unless its the Jocasta Complex eh ma?

Surely the spycam that you sewed into his underpants will provide all the information you need?

The 1950s called and would like their prudery back.

Are you the reason he doesn’t go out OP? I hope he has the best time and maybe you should find something to do this weekend whilst he’s away.

Is it a typo and you mean 16? In which case I get your concern if the friend is significantly older.
But 26? DH and I were married with two kids by that age…

yeah. this, wtf?

Please don't interfere with this, OP. Your son is your child, and always will be, but he is an adult who needs to have his own freedom and the ability to make his own decisions.

As someone else with an overprotective mother (and, in some cases, extended family), the concern of overprotective relatives is suffocating. If anything, it encouraged me to move far enough away so that I can have the non-stop novelty of privacy and independence! It's absolutely liberating!

When my DF was 26 he had served 6 years in the armed forces, and had a wife & 2 children

One post wonder wind up ?

Are you taking the mickey? He is 26 - a grown man. Many men have children and mortgages at his age.

What on earth have I just read??

Please don't buy condoms for your adult son, that's just creepy and overbearing. I'm sure he knows his way round Boots.

So if he’s gay then he’s keeping it a secret from you. I can’t say I blame him if that’s your attitude, Why are you so worried about your son’s sexuality. We’re in 2026 it’s not illegal to be gay you know.

This can’t be real😂

😂😂😂

Eh? And what business is it of yours op? Genuine question, you say he’s 26. I hope he has a lovely time whether they are friends or maybe something more.

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

I certainly hope so!

Good grief 😔

Can’t wait for the update when you explain he’s 26 months.
