Stick not know what to do

It's a simple enough situtation,

Things have been a bit rough between me and the girlfriend of one and a half years. We split a while ago but got back together , Me and my friend decided to book an action packed holiday in the new year.

My girl is a bit upset because she wants to book a holiday for the end of next summer - she MUST do this soon as he job insists on this early notice etc.

This puts me in a crap situtation altogether whereby i really dont want to commit to a holiday this time next year having gone through such a bad patch with m gf. Yes we are workgin on things bhut they are far from ideal at the moment but i dont want to upset my gf by telling her i dont want to book anything yet. Im unsure of our relationship in the long run but am truly working on things by taking each day as it comes.

what should i do?

Hi. Sorry, it's obvious: Don't book.

Can't she book her holiday time off without actually booking her holiday itself at this time?

Tbh, this sounds like a deliberate move (test? ... whatever) on her part ... well, I suppose deliberate might be a bit strong, in that it could actually be sub-conscious, but I definitely think at some level the holiday booking itself is not the main agenda.

she can still book the time off work and you can both go for a late deal bargain

Friends are Friends, they are around alot longer than G/F
s and B/F's

You'll be leaving down your buddy if you don't go !

Yeah DO NOT cancel on your friend! She can easily just book a week or two off work now and wait til much nearer the time to actually book a holiday. If you're willing to keep your options open about where you go then you'll easily book a great holiday then!

Your girlfriend could be gone out of your life next week, never alienate your mates for a partner.

I don't think the OP meant that if he goes on a holiday with his girlfriend that he will have to cancel with his friend!

It also sounds like a test to me! Tell her to book her time off but tell her you want to wait untill closer to the date to book anything because you might get a better deal!!

As other posters have said, the best option is to tell her to go ahead and book the time off work, but not to book a holiday. That can be done in a few months time.
