"Remember the lovely reader whose boyfriend wanted to take a two-week trip around Europe with his best female friend? You guys left 42 comments (and counting!) saying that it was a terrible idea. Well, she confronted to her boyfriend about it, and here&amp;#x27;s the very surprising update....If you missed the original post, our reader said that her boyfriend&amp;#x27;s best female friend wanted to travel around Europe alone with him for two weeks. Our reader, understandably, wasn&amp;#x27;t too psyched. Well, here&amp;#x27;s the reader&amp;#x27;s update... I talked to my boyfriend last night. I said that I didn&amp;#x27;t feel comfortable with the situation and explained that it made me feel a bit insecure about our relationship. He was really surprised! He said that it hadn&amp;#x27;t even crossed his mind that I would feel this way because he totally doesn&amp;#x27;t think of his female friend that way. But he said that if it makes me feel uncomfortable, of course he wouldn&amp;#x27;t go! So he called her and said that he actually wouldn&amp;#x27;t be able to go because of work commitments, and that maybe we should try to arrange a trip (all of us together) for March 2010 instead. What a sweetie, right?! I was so happy. But then, this morning, I got an unexpected email from his best female friend, who lives in Spain. It really goes to show how much we can never be sure of the whole story. Her email said: &amp;quot;How are you? I&amp;#x27;m sorry about writing to you unexpectedly and without a proper introduction like this, but I have heard so much about you that I feel as if I know you already! Anyway, I know this is a bit strange, but I was wondering if you could help me out. Rob just told me that he won&amp;#x27;t be able to come to Europe in March because of a work commitment. I was hoping you might be able to find out and then let me know (but without telling him) when would be a better time for him (and you, of course) to come to Spain. I don&amp;#x27;t want to make a fuss about it with him because I don&amp;#x27;t want him to know that it is actually a much more important trip than it sounds like. You see, I have a big surprise for him! I have recently become engaged and I would like to ask him to be the best man at the wedding! Rob is like the big the big brother that I never had. My plan was to have him come to Spain and meet my fiance and then we would all spend some time together so they could get to know each other. Anyway, if you could maybe help me out and let me know when would be a good time for you guys to come, that would be really wonderful. Thanks a bunch and I can&amp;#x27;t wait to meet you! xo&amp;quot; So there you have it! An unexpected ending! Isn&amp;#x27;t that SO surprising, dear readers? Truly, it&amp;#x27;s always so hard to know what&amp;#x27;s really going on--that&amp;#x27;s why honest communication is best, right? Is your jaw on the floor? :) Photo: Sharon Tingley"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
