My boyfriend's family was super generous and nice enough to invite me on a family trip with them (1 week trip). There will be 8 of us going. So we are taking 2 cars to the airport, so that means space in the trunk for all the suitcases isn't great.
Knowing this, my boyfriend and I agreed that we will take our own carry-on bag but will share 1 checked luggage (which is the size of a carry-on bag). That's not the issue.
So since BF and I are sharing a checked bag, we both are putting our toiletries bags in it. The bag really isn't super spacious, and my carry-on bag isn't big, so space is pretty vital.
One of boyfriend's brothers' 'A' asked boyfriend if he could put his toiletries bag in our checked in bag and BF goes 'yeah of course'... Whatever, just one extra toiletry bag in our check luggage, shouldn't be too big of a deal.
Then BF's brother 'M' asked us today if he can put his toiletry bag in our checked bag....
(everybody gets 1 free checked bag, as an fyi)
So after 'M' asked us today, I texted/vented to what I thought was my sister about how I don't find it super fair that I have to sacrifice room in my checked bag so BF's 2 brothers can put their toiletry bags in their own bags and check them on their own, since we all get 1 free checked bag and blah blah blah.
I accidentally sent that all to my boyfriend, not my sister, and so I quickly realized and said 'Oh god I'm so sorry, I was venting, I shouldn't have said that'
And boyfriend goes 'Please don't be selfish. That's really not cool'.
Uhhh so now I'm confused.... Is it considered selfish of me to feel this way? To feel that I shouldn't have to give up room in my checked bag just so two more toiletry bags can go in (and we all know that toiletry bags aren't exactly space-savers'
We are leaving tomorrow and now BF isn't too happy with me.
Obviously I shouldn't have sent it to my boyfriend, albeit even on accident, but I don't think I am selfish in this situation, right?
