my original plans for New Year's with my original group of friends initially fell through. Everybody was either sick or going elsewhere. my girlfriend is very close with her best friend and her best friends family but my girlfriend is out of state for new years. I asked her if she would think if it was weird if I text her best friend and ask her to hang out with her and her family and my girlfriend encouraged me. I texted the best friend and asked if I could hang out with her and her family tonight and she said yes.

Literally right after I sent that text, the guy from the original group calls me and says that he is going out with a couple of his buddies and wants me to come with them so I said yes and texted the best friend and told her the situation.

I do feel like an asshole and I wonder if they think that I only see them as a last resort.
