Would You Let YOUR Girlfriend Travel 'Round the World With Another Guy?

[Harry Wilmington]

Hey Guys:

I don't know if you've seen this story or not (which you can read HERE), but if not, here's the short version: A Canadian guy named Jordan Axani had purchased an around-the-world trip with his girlfriend named Elizabeth Gallagher. She broke up with him a month or so before the trip was to start, and the tickets he had purchased were non-refundable. So, he offered to take any girl on the trip with him that had the same name as his ex. After a search, he found a woman in Canada with the same name that agreed to go with him, with no intentions of trying to get romantic with her.

So, that's all nice and stuff, but what got me was the part of the story (I saw her do a news interview) where she said she hadn't planned to do anything with this guy in the first place because she had a serious boyfriend. Which got me to thinking: how many guys would actually let their girlfriends go on a free around-the-world trip with a guy that she (a) didn't know, and was (b) literally offering her the world?

At any rate - I was just curious as to what your guys' thoughts were about this story. Do you think the BF was naiive or just hella confident? Would YOU have allowed your girlfriend to go on this kind of trip with another guy? What do you think this says (or doesn't say) about her and her relationship? Inquiring minds wanna know!

This one requires some thinking. NOT.

Oh yeah, I remember this one. Even in my bluest of blue pill-esque periods during my past would I have stuck around with her if she decided to go.

Boyfriend is beyond pathetically naive (and probably rationalized it to himself that he's confident), and it says - scratch that, SCREAMS - that she has zero respect for the lapdog that she's dating, and if you were to pull his pants down on live TV there would be no point in censoring anything because there would be absolutely nothing there - nothing..

I wouldn't not let her go because she has free will but I would make it clear that I would not be waiting for her when she got back. The choice she makes on that basis would tell me all i'd need to know.

You can't stop your girlfriend or any one for that matter from doing something that they want to do. The person will end up despising you. Travelling is the best experience ever into my opinion and I certainly wouldn't hold someone back from doing it. It's called free will.

I posted this story a few months ago. I would let her do what she wants and act accordingly.

You cannot stop her from going....but you can stop her from being your gf.

If she wants to ask or even go, you have weak frame or she is a ho. She should be worried that if she even asks you she is risking losing you.

If she doesnt, then she doesnt value u.

That's why you should never plan a trip too far in advance. You give her too much time to think about it, too many things can happen. Plus, this is North America, she should have paid for her half of the ticket. No way she would have broken up with him if she paid her half up front.

So, he offered to take any girl on the trip with him that had the same name as his ex. After a search, he found a woman in Canada with the same name that agreed to go with him, with no intentions of trying to get romantic with her.

This girl has NO idea who this guy is but will still go on a trip with him since HE paid.

So, that's all nice and stuff, but what got me was the part of the story (I saw her do a news interview) where she said she hadn't planned to do anything with this guy in the first place because she had a serious boyfriend.

That's what she says bro. What she SAYS and what she DOES are 2 completely different things. They could have had crazy Basic Instinct monkey sex on their trip, yet to get attention and be on the news, tell them "nothing happened" because she a "serious" boyfriend. It's so "serious" with the boyfriend that she goes on a world trip with a guy she doesn't know.

And the media is eating this up and feeding it to us.

Which got me to thinking: how many guys would actually let their girlfriends go on a free around-the-world trip with a guy that she (a) didn't know, and was (b) literally offering her the world?

What do you mean "let" their girlfriend. This is North America, girls have more power than politicians in some cases.

Anyway, if my girlfriend did that, I'd would say "OK have a good time, just don't come back here."

If she brings back presents to me. Thread is dumb to talk about. Only a dummy lets her go.
