My girlfriend is half Kenyan and half Italian and was born in Kenya. She lived there until she was 11 years old  then she moved to the UK (after her dad died). Every summer she goes to Kenya with her mom to visit family for a month. We’ve been together for 3 years and she wants me to come to Ethiopia with her for at least a week or 2. There are many reasons why I don’t want to.

1. A flight to Kenya is expensive,
2. I honestly worry about my safety. Africa isn’t really known for being super safe, especially for a white guy – I mean there was literally a terrorist attack there like a month ago
3. I’ll have to use up my vacation time for this trip… No offence but Kenya isn’t my idea of a vacation – it’s not like we’re going to be staying in a fancy resort.

So I told my girlfriend some of this (mostly the complaints about cost) and she said that her family will cover half the cost of the flight and we’ll be staying with family for most of it so it won’t be super expensive. When I said I was worried about safety she said I was being ridiculous and that Kenya is a safe country- Obviously ***she*** thinks so since she was born there and no one wants to talk negatively about where they are from, but I’m not used to it. 

When I told her I didn’t want to spend my vacation time on the trip. She blew up at me and said thinks I’m an asshole and I'm making every excuse not to go and that I should **want** to get to know the place she was born and she has been ignoring me since Friday. I think she’s being a bit dramatic and is trying to force me to spend my own money on something I’m not eager about.
