Boring friend?

So I’ve been friends with this girl since we were 4, we’re now 25. We booked to go away this weekend to a different country to basically get drunk let loose and have fun I never get to do this that often, the first night she insists on staying drinking in the room for far too long and when we got out it was late , then she kept puking everywhere and not wanting to be there so we went home by 12am. The next night we went for food with plans to go out after and I could just tell she didn’t want to be there. She complained about everything and was barely talking, we got to a really good pub and I got us 2 drinks but she wouldn’t drink it and said she didn’t want any ( fine) I’m not going to pressure someone to drink alcohol but she won’t speak or be any fun sober and she just wants to go home the whole time? So I finished my drink and said let’s just go then. A guy even came up to her saying why are you so quite and looking sad. She knows it’s annoyed me but not apologetic or anything for being completely boring? I took time off work and spent money to come and have fun and we had literally no fun. She didn’t do anything or want to do anything on the second day either until I begged we go for dinner and she said yeah fine we’ll go out after ( just because she knows I want to) but when we booked to this the whole time she was buzzing and in agreement to have ana amazing weekend

I think going on holiday with an annoying friend is a rite of passage. It will probably happen a few more times before you turn 30 and then that part of your life is done and you move on to getting a cat and making sourdough

Ha yes, it is a rite of passage. I went on hol with a friend who had the arse the whole time and another who stayed in her room because she had a new boyfriend and wanted to go home.

In her defence some people struggle being away from home. Chalk it up to experience but I don't think this is friendship ending.

PS: not a chance I would ever go away with someone on holiday now due to this reason.

So leave her in your room and go out on your own.

MissMelanieH · 19/03/2025 18:32

Does she maybe like doing other things apart from drinking as a way of having fun?
have you asked her what she wants to do?
personally I find people who only want to get drunk “boring” so it’s a matter of perspective I suppose.

you don’t sound well matched as holiday companions could you go out on your own or join up with another group from your hotel?

She just overdid it by getting shitfaced on night one, and was too hungover to want to drink or do much on day two.

Some people can’t just get up and start drinking again the next day when they’ve been so drunk they’ve been throwing up the night before

Was she hungover from the night before?sounds like she was if she was throwing up. Nothing worse than having to go out drinking again feeling rough.

MrsMoastyToasty · 19/03/2025 18:44

Fun doesn't necessarily mean getting drunk.

doodahdayy · 22/03/2025 07:47

Getting Shitfaced all weekend sounds boring to me. She was probably too hungover on day 2

BlondiePortz · 22/03/2025 07:52

If not wanting to delbratley get drunk makes me boring i am happy with rhat

Go on holiday on your own, I've been doing this for years. Get up when you want, sleep when you want, go where you want and do whatever the fuck you want. Nobody else's snooze alarm to wake you up, no walking around shops you're not interested in, no being pushed into anything you don't want to do and absolutely nothing to compromise about. I'd never travel with anyone else again.
