Asking Eric: Different travel styles and finances lead woman to avoid trip with friend

Sep 27, 2024

Dear Eric: I have a friend I’ve known since high school. We are now in our 30s. Although we are different and have different interests, we have enough common ground to maintain our friendship. I’ve traveled extensively outside the country and she wants us to go on an international trip together. I do not want to, but I don’t know how to say it without hurting her feelings.
