Dee has always been one of my favorite friends to travel with because she’s completely low maintenance, always down for anything, and super spontaneous, but lately her behavior on our trips has left me feeling a little uncomfortable.
I could care less what another woman chooses to do with her body, which is why Dee’s hookups abroad, which everyone in our group is quite familiar with, never bothered me. But I also never had to witness her hookups first hand like they did. That was until our past two trips when Dee brought men back to the hotel room and villa where we were staying.
The first time she did this was in October when we were staying in a villa in Mexico. I came downstairs and, to my surprise, was greeted by Dee and a male stranger eating breakfast at the kitchen island. He made his exit stage left within 10 minutes and I was so caught up in her story about their rendezvous that I let the issue go.
But Dee pulled the same move two weeks ago on our spring break trip and I was pissed because we were sharing a hotel room together. It was a suit so our beds were divided by a living room, but when I woke in the middle of the night to panting and bed knocking I felt like I was in college again, and not in a good way.
The next morning I kind of exploded on Dee. While the only point I was trying to make was that I didn’t feel comfortable with men I didn’t know being in my room without my knowledge, she flipped out on me, saying I was judging her. She was a little bit right, only because it had crossed my mind that her repeated travel hookups probably weren’t the safest thing to do. But I also let it slip that some of our other girlfriends have declined travel invitations because they don’t want to be caught up in her hookups.
Dee and I got on with our trip pretty okay after that argument but we haven’t talked much since our return. I don’t want to lose my travel buddy, but I also don’t want to be privy to her random romps anymore. What should I do?
