She agreed but she was nervous how I was going to be around her friends because she hasn’t seen them in years since they live abroad. All of her friends are from the same country and I’ve been learning their language but am not fluent yet. And the one friend asked how much he had to speak English and my girlfriend said to please try to speak English. I promised her too that I would try not to let what happened ruin the trip for her and her friends sake.
The friend showed up and all he has done is complain the entire first day. Anything we brought up for food he shot down, he thought everything was ugly, anytime we mentioned any other place we traveled he would say it’s dangerous or ugly. We barely ate all day because he didn’t want any of the local food like me and my girlfriend wanted or complained that it was too expensive.
I was keeping quiet and just trying to ignore it and enjoy the day until it came time to choose a place for dinner and he just kept rejecting every idea. And I eventually said that I’m fine with whatever, you guys just pick. But my girlfriend could tell that I was getting annoyed and kept pushing for me to say what I want and wouldn’t drop it. Eventually I did get annoyed because he said he just wanted McDonald’s and I said “I did not travel across the world to get McDonald’s”. I just don’t know what I could have done, I tried to stay out of it. But I think it screwed me and my chances of fixing things with my girlfriend.
