My friend has vouchers for a day spa next weekend and has asked me to go with her. Recently I've had to cancel on her a few times and we've been drifitng apart so we decided it would be a good opportunity to catch up. I said I would but then remembered that my boyfriend was planning on taking me to the same spa for our anniversary in a couple of weeks. I wasn't going to tell my boyfriend that I was going with my friend so as not to ruin it for him but I felt too guilty so I did. He said I could go with my friend and he'd think of something else for our anniversary but I know he's disappointed about it.
Should I go and risk upsetting my boyfriend or let my friend down again?

It's not like you won't enjoy it, yaknow? If you're worried about doing the same thing twice, I suggest getting something like mani/pedi services, facials, hair, etc. with your friend, and maybe a couples massage (or a regular one depending on what's offered) with your boyfriend. He'll enjoy a massage, and you'll get a massage AND everything else when you go with your friend. I assume that you and your friend would enjoy getting your hair done more than your boyfriend would, anyways. ;)

Go with your friend and have fun and catch up on things. I hope things work out for you. [ onebirddog2000's advice column | Ask onebirddog2000 A Question ]

If going to this spa was something boyfriend really had his heart set on, there's no reason you can't go both times.
I mean, really. It's a spa... You can never get in too much relaxing... ;-)
