how do i tell my bf i can’t go on a trip we’ve had planned for a year?
my boyfriend’s dad is getting married in Vegas at the end of this month. very hype! we’re from Ohio, so it’s a whole ordeal, we’re supposed to be there for a week. my bf’s dad and soon-to-be step mom covered the expenses for a nice hotel on the strip, and they said they would reimburse us for plane tickets. full disclosure, my bf and i are seniors in college and BROKE af, so we told them the only way we could go is if they covered travel expenses. bf’s dad still owes us $350 a piece for plane tickets, but otherwise it’s looking like a pretty solid trip.
i’ve had a long and interesting journey with school and mental health, so i’m not graduating college this year. in fact, i was supposed to transfer to a community college to take culinary classes! i am very excited to be doing such. i was supposed to move this summer, close to culinary school, with my boyfriend. however, he has not found a job and will not sign for an apartment without a job (so valid). my current apartment lease ends in july, but they’re asking my roommate and i if we want to renew now. if i cant live with my boyfriend, i cant afford to live alone, and i cannot move back in with my parents. i need to punch literally every penny (i have $500 to my name) and save so i can afford a place on my own.
i’m not sure if this made a lot of sense, but basically, i cannot go to Vegas for this wedding. socially, there will be no consequences with bf’s family, they’re not fond of me. but my bf will be upset, we wanted to go to the places in Fallout: New Vegas :(
