EDIT: thanks so much to the person who felt so strongly about this post, they decided to send me reddit care. If you feel the same way I urge you to read the post flair and subreddit name. Cheers.

I, (26M. average joe, male victim) am an anthropologist, as are my friends. A few weeks ago our friend P (24M. Very handsome, unfortunately given the best Swedish genes…) invited us all to Sweden to meet his family.

Well, my girlfriend (25F, cries a lot idk) caught wind of it and FORCED HERSELF onto the trip. Whilst there, she had a breakdown when we all did shrooms - so not cool of her, total buzzkill - and ended up ruining the trip for us all by getting on better with P and his family than I did. A few examples:

When we arrived in Sweden, we were greeted by P’s father figure, he gave us all handshakes except for my gf, who he hugged. I was already pissed off as she should’ve pushed him away but didn’t.

P brought her a birthday gift and then reminded me it was her birthday. I sung the birthday song to her whilst awkwardly trying to light a little cake for her and all she did was stare at it.

Gf tried getting us to leave early after P’s family attempted to throw a child into the lake. She threw a fit and I explained to her that I, (26M. Male victim, and child free) support those actions as children are nothing but money wasters and nuisances. She threw a bigger fit and so I accused her of trying to babytrap me and walked off. I then caught P comforting her in our little bunk bed but I didn’t do anything because I find P’s sister very attractive anyway.

P kissed my gf after everyone put flowers on her but they left me out. Clearly they don’t understand that I am there for the culture and she is there because she forced herself.

Anyway, a little while ago I sat with some old lady and she explained that a cute redhead girl is very attracted to me, and i’m considering it. After all, my gf has been VERY ungrateful over this trip and has been close to P. So why not?

AITA for feeling like she’s ruining it, and wanting to sleep with someone else?

EDIT: It’s probs important for me to add that her whole family did unfortunately pass away back in December, but that was months ago and she should be over it by now anyway. She hasn’t been crying anymore so she’s fine.
