I'm going to Japan with a friend for a week, leaving this Thursday. It was very last minute, my friend had it all planned and I'm changing jobs, so I took a week off in between and decided on the spur of the moment to join her. Of course, I asked my BF first (I'm gay), and though I'd much rather he come along, he couldn't. But he was totally understanding that this was one of the few times I'd be able to go, and that he didn't really have that much interest in Japan.

So, no, I don't have any problem with it. And hopefully he's being honest about not having a problem with it either!

However, I also told him this was not in lieu of our vacation together, cause that would be problem for me....

Ahhh get a room already you two....

I went travelling of course for a period of about 10 months. My friend was in a great relationship with his girlfriend (and still is) so when he said it was something to do obviously she was a little upset. However, she was understanding and said aslong as he came back to her then it would be fine. It just so turned out that she came to visit us in Thailand over the Christmas period and missing each other greatly, she came out to join us through our travels in South America. I didn't feel like a spare wheel as I enjoy her company.
