I( F25) live in NYC and 6 months ago my friend (F 25) who lives in California invited me to a camping trip that she and her boyfriend (27 M) and a few of their buddies planned for this month. I met my friend through a social network and we’ve been good friends for 3 years now. She used to live in my city but moved to California a year ago and a half ago and now we like to plan trips a few times a year to catch up. My boyfriend (25 M is trying to talk me out of going because he says that my friend is a complete stranger from the internet and that I don’t know anyone else on that trip, that the other people could harm me. He says that he can’t be with someone as dumb as me who makes dumb decisions that put me at risk like going on a trip with random people. He then compared me to his friends girlfriend saying that she would never do something like that and that men in relationships don’t deal with their girl leaving to the woods with strangers.

Should I cancel my trip or still go? I trust that my friends friends won’t harm me, but maybe he has a point? AITA if I still go?

TLDR; my boyfriend is talking me out of a camping trip with my friend, her boyfriend and some of their other friends that I have never met, debating if I should cancel the trip. AITA if I still go on the trip?
