[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don’t know you, but I find some of your posts troublesome, mostly because you’re saying one thing and doing another.

First of all, you’ve only been dating this man 6 months. I know after a divorce, or whatever, that it feels awesome, but it’s really not that long. You’re already on to world travel, when many people would still be meeting friends and family. They may feel you’re moving too quickly.

One side of your mouth is bragging about how a man is not a plan, and yet, you also feel that paying for a few dinners somehow equates to his funding world travel. Which is it, especially in a new relationship? You’re trying to pretend you’re all independent, but as soon as it’s for something more awesome than you can afford, you’re all about letting him pay for it. You’re even buying his line about his past sponges. Let’s be honest - you’re just less sponge-y. A night out at the local Ethiopian joint hardly equates to a trip to Spain.

Oh, and about that trip. I think you’re purposefully being evasive about it, so you have some kind of exciting leverage over your friends. Why lie? If you don’t want to give all kinds of details, You could simply say you’redoing some traveling, but no, you’re keeping it all like some big secret they can find out, or so you can have some big reveal later. Trust me, they don’t care, or if they do care, they’re happy for you. I’ve been the person with my awesome home gathering, where a million stories are woven, although it seems like nothing special as far as events go. I I’ve also been the traveler. We just got back from a regular trip to Europe. Trust me, you’re really not that special. There were several hundred people traveling on my flight, and that was a from a fairly small airport that had flights all day.

I know you’re excited, Op. I also imagine you WANT your friends to be jealous. Just remember that you may need those friends again later.
