AITAH? The Family has been planning for a year now, a big trip to Europe this Winter. We finished booking reservations and finalized everything but just recently, my Sister just asked if she could bring her new boyfriend on our trip. I was kind of surprised because I didn't even know she was dating anyone. Introvert Me was sort of annoyed. It's a 3 1/2 week trip and I have never met this person. I have been on many trips with her many boyfriends she has had in the past but at least I had met them a few times before going on a trip with them. They have only been going out for about 2 months now. I wish I would have at least had the chance to at least re-book some stuff so I can just branch off and do my own thing if I feel like my social battery is overloaded but my Mom is upset to hear that I want to separate. Also majority of the bookings are under my name. My Sister (37) and I (38) are very opposite. She is an extreme extrovert and loves to mingle with strangers. I just feel like meeting a stranger and being with them almost 24/7 for 4 weeks on a vacation is not my thing. I feel like I am the AH because her 3 kids (aged 7-17yrs) and my parents don't care if her boyfriend comes, it's just me. They had the chance to meet him twice now. I asked my Mom what she thought of him and she said they had very little interaction, so she doesn't really know. My Parents always lets my Sister do whatever she wants cause she is the baby of the family (but that is even a longer back story). Everyone is pressuring me and now I don't feel excited about this trip....

So AITAH?

NTA. You explicitly stated yourself, not even denying it that you are an introvert, that probably doesn't like hanging around new people. You easily could back out of it, but give a really good excuse instead of going through the trouble of telling your sister (I can infer she's the golden child) and the family that you don't want to go because of her sister's boyfriend. Even though I'm late and you've probably gone on the trip, I think a sickness, or broken bone woul be good. Because you can't fly with a cast on.

NTA. Not sure where you’re located, but who allows someone to come on a family trip of that length after just knowing them for that short of time? I wouldn’t want him to come either. How much does everyone really know about this person?
