Have you ever gone to visit someone who lived far away…and the trip didn’t go well?
Yeah, it’s a real bummer!
You spend a bunch of money, you take time off work, you travel a far distance, and for what?
To be treated like a fool?
Ugh!
The woman who wrote today’s story sounds pretty ticked off about how her cousin treated her…and I can’t say that I blame her.
Read on and see what you think about what went down.
AITA for booking a flight home after my cousin begged me to visit, then kept ditching me to go apartment hunting?
“My cousin begged me for weeks to visit her city for a getaway.
Before spending money on flights, I double-checked with her multiple times to make sure she had zero conflicts, work deadlines, or other commitments.
She 100% reassured me that her schedule was totally clear and set time aside.
Oh, no…
The second I got there, she and her roommate left to go apartment hunting for hours.
This happened repeatedly including late at night, leaving me sitting alone in her apartment eating takeout in a city where I know nobody.
She had enough of this!
When I finally confronted her and said it wasn’t fair to ditch me after swearing she had free time, she blew up.
She called me insanely high-maintenance, entitled, and told me I was massively overreacting.
I didn’t even argue.
Smell ya later!
I packed my suitcase, booked the first flight out, and went straight to the airport. I didn’t stay a single minute longer.
Now our family is calling me dramatic, petty, and unsupportive.
AITA?”
