I am a 29 year old man and my girlfriend who is 30 did not tell me about her previous

situation ship with a friend that she was planning a six week backpacking trip with.

This was originally posted just a week and a half ago at the time of recording on February

27th. My girlfriend and I dated for half of 2022 then broke up. After about one and a half years apart, we got back together

last winter and had been together again for about three months. During that year, we were apart.

She had a relationship with a co-worker who she was also living with. She called it a situation ship.

Also during that year, they backpacked several hundreds of miles of the PCT together.

They both moved to separate cities last fall after the hike, but decided to remain friends

and made plans to return to hike another several hundred miles of the PCT this upcoming summer.

My girlfriend and I started talking again last fall, about one month after they parted ways.

While we were talking, she invited me to join them over summer, and I planned to join for part

of it, about four weeks. She never mentioned that they had any romantic relationship while

telling me about her time living with him and his family, or her time backpacking with him.

I thought they were just friends.

Pretty soon after officially getting back together a few months ago, we were discussing boundaries

and I told her explicitly that I expected her to tell me if she had any romantic history with

any friends who are currently still in her life, especially if me and her were going to spend

time with said person. She acknowledged how I felt and I appreciated it, but didn't mention anything about them. Well, great acknowledgement right there. That's pretty much just like saying, yeah, you know what, I acknowledge exactly what you're saying, but I'm going to do nothing about it. A month later, we were discussing how the summer hiking trip would go with the three of us. They'd be hiking without me for the first

couple or few weeks. We were discussing the tent situation and she mentioned wanted to sleep in a

separate tent to him during the part of the trip that it was the two of them. I was confused and I asked

why since it made more sense for them to share a tent, splitting the weight of a two person ten and then

me and her could have our own
