A group of friends who have been traveling every New Year since they were 16, planned a trip to Greece for 2021. However, the ex-best friend of the writer told them that Amy, the girlfriend of the writer's ex, was uncomfortable with her going on the trip. The writer's friends agreed that she should not come on the trip to avoid drama. The writer didn't go and stopped hanging out with them as much. Now, with the new year coming up, the writer has plans with their roommate to go to Amsterdam, but their friends assumed they could come along. The writer told them it was not a group trip, causing a fight. Was the writer wrong for not inviting their friends on their trip? Read on to find out.
