A reddit user said she decided to forgo a 3-day trip with eight of her friends from school because she is interested in topics aside from marriage or children.

Remarkable_Lake410, who is a 27-year-old woman, asked other reddit users if she was being too honest by telling her friends the reason she opted out of the vacation.

At first, she said she didn't tell them why. But she said she was later asked by one of the women, who is pregnant, so she told her the truth.

I am not going because it's a massive financial expense, for three days where we only talk about people's upcoming engagements / weddings / babies. I have a lot going on, but I feel a lot of my friends do not show an interest unless I talk about some one [sic] I’m dating. I also last time, listened to one of my friends talk about her breastfeeding plans, with vengeance, for over an hour. She is not pregnant or trying. Truthfully it's boring, and it feels dismissive," Remarkable_Lake410 recently wrote on the social media platform.It’s also a really expensive way to feel bad about myself," she added.

Remarkable_Lake410 said the she's been friends with the group of women for more than a decade. They live in different areas, so they get together a few times a year for a weekend in an Airbnb.

She said previous trips consisted of good food, drinks, lounging in hot tubs, and various other activities. But lately, she said, the trips have been tiresome. Plus, she said she will be seeing her friends throughout the year for other events, including weddings.

Remarkable_Lake410 said she is frustrated because "it feels like the group has two distinct life stages, I'm in the minority and it focuses on one stage." She said of the eight women, five are either married or in long term relationships, while two either have a baby or are pregnant.

Remarkable_Lake410 said she is "thrilled" for her friends and their accomplishments, but wishes they showed more interest in her goals outside of finding a husband and starting a family.

"I am content with my life at the moment, I am single, dating and I don’t know if I would like children -- but in the event I did I know I wouldn’t want one soon," she said.

She added one of the women told her she was "really hurt" by her response but she was firm and said she has "numerous other things on" and needs to budget her finances accordingly.

"I just want to add for this friend specifically I have gone on three weekends away for her wedding, and I am flying to go her baby shower -- all the in the last two years," she wrote. "I have not asked her, nor has she wanted to fly to see me for anything in the last two years."

Some users said they have similar issues.

"I have the same problem, lol. Im 48, single and no kids, and I just cannot relate with people my age," one user noted. "I work a lot, gym, and have a drink now and then with friends but I feel you. Whenever I find myself in a situation where it's my age women, it's all about marriage, kids and school, etc."

Others cautioned Remarkable_Lake410, saying "it might be good to step back until she’s in a similar part of her life," while some advised her to give her friends some "grace" and not to "tank" valuable friendships because they are in different stages of life.

In an update to the original post, Remarkable_Lake410 thanked everyone for their replies and said she wanted to clarify a few things. She said one of her friends confessed she's not planning to go on the trip for the same reasons, while the friend she confided in apologized "for her initial reaction" and is still trying to convince her to join everyone on the trip.

"I am not going to go, but I am hoping she at least considers what I have shared."

She also said she's not jealous and doesn't hate herself or her life.

"To confirm dear strangers on the internet, I am content - thank you for the concern though," she wrote, adding that she has other friends that live close to her. "They are a joy to be in the company of. Maybe this is because we became friends as adults, and have more similar lifestyles, who knows."
