We have this upcoming trip abroad, only us 3 girls. I did not really initiate it, but i was the one who really made it happen. I stayed up late to booked cheap tickets. I was the one constantly looking for cheap hotels and even made a bit of the itinerary. I didn't even have a credit card and just borrowed from a friend. Yesterday i was just checking Klook and found out that the cheapest Disneyland tickets were already sold out for our dates. So i chatted them and they didn't really do much other than chat about how sad they are or something and that we should book now.. but then they do not have a credit card. So the cycle goes on. So i said that "Can you also please make an effort, cause it seems that i am the only one who wants this to happen" i might have created a rift between us, but really though - they haven't really done much. It's like i am taking this trip alone. Anyways, was i wrong to be mad? I wonder what i can say to mend our friendship though. Our tips is like a month away now.

no you are not wrong by being mad. It is good to let out our true feelings or emotions sometimes than to keep it inside. =)

@lady1993 Do they feel that they helped too? It was your idea and you really wanted it so why are they mad?

@Hannihar basically, a friend of mine suggested it, and we wanted to go too. But then months passed and we still didn't buy tickets, until i found this cheap fare and bought them

Can't say that you are wrong nor you are right but if you feel like you are the only one making this trip happen, might as well, cancel it altogether. Or... ... specifically, ask your two companions what you expect from them to make this trip work.

Seems like if they wanted to go they would be more involved in helping plan and pay for it all.

You are feeling guilty for this I know. But dear you haven't done any wrong. I think they should have showed concern to motivate you to do your best.

No. It's not wrong to be mad, they should help you because they are also a part of it. Good luck to you..

I hope they have gave you their part f the money already, if not they may be taking advantage of you with no intentions on paying back.

fortunately they did, we have been friends for more than a decade, i'd be so mad if they'd betray me like that

I'm sorry! This is why I don't mind booking and planning things with other people - but I do so more leisurely. We pay separately or they better contribute before I pay for them. Far to often I've never been reimbursed and I'm not made of money. This way money doesn't come between friendships. :) Asking for help on this, shouldn't cause a rift. if it does, maybe you need to re-evaluate the friendship.

I don't think you were necessarily mad but maybe just hurt because your trip mates aren't as excited and putting in the same effort. I would tell them how you feel and ask them if they really want to go....it's a month away you could always try to replace them with someone who wants to go more.
