You guys are crazy. No need to discuss this with her after just six months, when it is a year away and involves his son. They are not married or even living together.

I am in a similar relationship and I barely even mentioned a trip I am taking this August.

It is a vacation with his son. Absolutely no reason to discuss with OP. He told OP about a trip next year.


But it’s a group vacation. Not just father son. We need to know who else is going.

Eh, I wouldn't feel great about it. I think it's a sign that he is compartmentalizing your relationship, if nothing else. I think you should have a talk to him about it - and if you don't feel comfortable having that talk, it's also not a great sign about the relationship.

There would be absolutely nothing wrong with him taking a trip with his kid. I think the problem is if it's leaving you feel unsettled, that isn't a feeling to be ignored - it probably indicates that you feel like the relationship isn't as solid or as (excuse the word) holistic as you would want it to be. You can either talk about it and try to change that, or resolve it, or take it as a sign that this isn't the relationship you want to be in.

Sorry, OP.

He should be discussed it with you. But I agree it is way too son to be inviting you on a trip with his kid.

I don't think there's anything wrong with planning a trip with your kids that does not include a boy/girl friend. In fact, I think that's probably a good move if the relationship is in the first year. What does he need to discuss with you?

He should have discussed with you at the very least. This would be a red flag for me.

A trip with him and his son. He's going with some family friends.


Who are the family friends? Other men? Couples? Single women?

Way too soon for him to invite you for a trip with his son.

I'm in a committed relationship that's about six months in. I feel hurt that he schedules a vacation for next year without discussing it with me or inviting me. Should I be or am I taking it too seriously?
