experience should I tell him? Friday afternoon we were just going out for dinner then a movie. Even though its cooling down outside I thought that maybe I could still wear shorts because we would mostly be indoors. Anyway he mentioned that he had his camping stuff in the car and said maybe we could go camping. I finally agreed when he said the weather was still warm enough outside plus he happened to have some extra clothing I could wear ie like his jeans and shirts (both of us are males and gay lol lol). I called my mom and told her and since I'm 19 she didn't like the idea but grumbled and fussed but couldn't stop me lol lol. He called his parents and lied to them and said he was going camping with some of his buddies lol lol and since he's 20 there was nothing they could do to stop him. He's so NOT!! out of the closet with them lol lol.

Anyway it was so cold and damp. He only had one extra pair of jeans which he wore and I was constantly cold and miserable. He didn't have an air mattress and we were on the hard ground with just the sleeping bag. He was happy as a lark while I spent most of the two nights in the tent on my back feeling the cold ground and rocks under the tent. Today I feel so utterly sore that I can hardly move. I was the only "fool" in shorts and a tee shirt at the campground and some men were staring at my legs and like this one guy told me he could take me to a motel to "warm up". What should I tell my bf about the traumatic experience the put me through?
 
its your fault:)

You are not prepared. And you know you're going for a camp so you should have prepared some extra clothing too:)
 
I think you're a typical annoying, whiny teenager.

The only person you have to blame is yourself, your boyfriend is not responsible to clothes you. You should've asked to quickly run home and gather some clothes/supplies up.

You're not traumatized, you're just spoiled.
 
dump him so i can date him and we can make fun of his old lame boyfriend who wouldnt stop bitching about stupid crap like a dumb old girl.
 
Camping is not for everyone. You are obviously not the outdoor-sy type. That's cool. But you are treating this experience as if you were stranded and trapped on Mt. Everest. Don't blame your boyfriend for this. YOU should have spoken up. He probably thought you would like to be all cozy in the tent with him. I guess not. Just discuss this with him,if you must. But don't be such a drama queen. LOL LOL. Sorry. xD Um, but really. You are fine. You aren't dead. :D
 
motto of the boy scouts = BE PREPARED, if he has any outdoor experience he shouldnt have took u out like that camping is seriously alot of fun if u got the right gear & the weather cooperates, dont write it off completely u should give it another shot next year when it gets nice & warm
 
three words for you

get over it


if you didn't want to sleep on rocks, you should have cleared them out prior to setting up the tent.

if you didn't want to sleep on the cold ground, you should have put down pine needles or other types of leaves and branches under the tent to give you padding and additional warmth.

all in all, if you didn't want to go, you should have said so.



it's a learning experience. learn from it and move on. don't give me that BS about you being traumatized.
 
First of all, avoid calling it a traumatic experience. You had a rough weekend, it's not exactly the stuff nightmares are made of.

Just tell him you're not really into camping and that should be the end of it.

I agree with the others - you're just complaining. You're not being a sissy (as some would say), you're being a wimp.

I've gone camping several times. One time there was an extreme thunderstorm and my tent was soaking wet. I basically slept in a shallow pool with wet clothes on. Did I complain? No. In fact, I loved it - the experience was great... I was 'roughing' it like I was supposed to. If you're not prepared for real camping then don't do it.
