In this situation, OP’s girlfriend is actively planning multiple summer trips despite being unemployed and facing financial constraints. She has already committed to two trips to different states and now proposes a trip to Portland and Seattle to visit friends, assuming OP has connections in Portland, which isn’t the case. When OP gently informs her of this, expressing concern about feeling like a tag-along, the girlfriend is devastated.
The couple has been dating for a mere two months, and OP is concerned that his girlfriend is diving headfirst into ambitious travel plans. Both of them are living off unemployment benefits, still managing rent expenses, and with the possibility of grad school looming on the horizon for OP in the fall, they need to be cautious with their finances. Despite these challenges, OP genuinely cares for his girlfriend and wishes to spend meaningful time together. However, committing to a weeklong vacation in distant cities feels like a significant undertaking at this early stage of their relationship. OP is now seeking advice on how to communicate his reservations effectively without causing heartache or misunderstanding.
