My husband and i were going on a two week trip with my friend (fellow dancer, the one I travel with all the time) and her boyfriend. 3 days in Vegas, 11 in Hawaii. My dream vacay.
Now we can't go.
Due to our own lack of financial planning we can't afford the two weeks off and the $$ needed to go. We've always been able to make $$ (he tattoos) but business has not been good for either of us. While this sucks big donkey balls we have accepted this and are ok with it. As ok as we can be, we fucked up, nothing we can do, it sucks but that's life and part of being a grown up.
My friend is not taking this as well as I am. I couldn't tell her we couldn't go and asked my husband to do it. I spent the whole day crying and fighting a migrane. We've texted a bit, I still love her but she thinks the reason we're not going is more than $$. She's been burned several times by other girls and I don't want her to think I'm doing it to.
She wanted me to go to NC with her to work this week but there was no way i could make enough in a week to afford the trip. Also my Mom isn't well and I have to take her to the Dr, she can't drive.
I'm not sure if there is anything I can say or do to make her
understand. Our firends that my husband and I ride with are going to fall bike week in Myrtle Beach and have asked us to go, I can work in Myrtle if we go and I'm only a 6 hour drive from my Mom if I need to get back. I don't think my friend will understand if i go there instead of with her.
I'm really confused about how to handle this. I love my firend and don't want to hurt her but why can't she understand?
