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?

Are we missing that this is a person who never goes out, and has announced out of the blue that they are spending a weekend with someone you know nothing about and he may know nothing about. Sure, when I was 26 I was living independently, had travelled all over the place, met assorted people, but it seems that, for whatever reason, this young man has not. So I do understand OP being worried.

Serious question @JosieMay1970 . . .

At what age do you think it would be acceptable for your DS to go to London and stay in a hotel with a friend?

Can I ask what it is that you are worried about op? Is there some reason you ds doesn't go out much that is making you more concerned than might be usual in this situation?

What her son does and what she THINKS he does may not necessarily be the same thing.

Maybe he doesn’t go out because he has a controlling mentally unwell mother.

Gosh, I was married at 26!

If this is real or there's a massive drip feed coming, leave them be. Nothing to do with you.

😆😆 he's 26!

He's 26... your concerns would be valid if they were 16... they aren't.

Oh ffs what??
He's TWENTY SIX
26.
26.
26!!

He's 26!!!!!!!

He’s 26- he can have a whole assortment of friends - male/ female/ anything in between over for a utterly sordid shag fest and it could not be any less of your buisness

I won’t say he’s 26 - why are you worried about this?

Bloody hell, I thought you were going to say he was about 12 when I read the title.

It’s absolutely none of your business re the sleeping arrangements.

Come on people. This is a wind up. OP has not reposted. Just sitting back laughing

I hope so 😆 otherwise brace yourself future daughter in law, we have the mother in law from hell here 😆 "what are your intentions with my son"!!!

Unless 26 was a typo and she’s frightened off by all these posts 😂

Don't worry. OP will be tracking his phone and making sure he has clean underwear. Maybe some condoms?

It sounds like an episode of Sorry.

What’s it got to do with you? He’s a grown man.

This can not be for real surely? It’s got to be a troll post.

Awaiting drip feed of severe additional needs and/or 'oops it was a typo he's only 16/6'.

Seems she's not worried about him going to Big London so much as what he may be getting up to with the wanton lassie who wants to lead him astray though.

You can't be serious. This must be a wind up 😂 he's 26.. let the man be.

What exactly are you worried about? This seems like a perfectly reasonable activity for a 26 yo? Be pleased that he’s doing something enjoyable.

I doubt the OP is coming back...

She should have worried a long time ago when he wasn't going out. He has probably met someone online which is quite normal now.
