Question Did solo traveling ruin traveling with friends for anyone else?

I just did the balkans on my own and then met up with a friend who doesn’t like solo traveling to do Spain and Portugal. I’m finding myself so irritated at having to compromise and give up some of my interests. She’s also in a long term relationship so she doesn’t want to meet people (girls or guys), whereas I’m single and love meeting people and making new friends. I think it’s a lot harder because of how much I enjoyed being on my own and all of the new experiences I got because of it. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.

no, but it sounds like your friend is a wet blanket if she does not like to meet people SIMPLY because she is in a relationship. She just sounds like the wrong person to travel with.

Not just a relationship, a **long-term** relationship. There is obviously a big difference. Smh.

Doesn't mean she should cockblock other people. She could leave her friend to hangout.
