Girlfriend wants to go on a girls trip to nashville. Is this code for cheating?

No

Not really cheating but checking out the possible potential. Nashville is a subconscious move on her part that she's really looking for a super stud. Her parents most likely would like her to meet a real cowboy.

One year only is sketchy on this one.

This will depend on the security of the relationship at this point.

She will be going to a place they playfully call NashVegas. You have plenty of bars, and the nightlife is pretty big there.

You may end up losing this lady if you say no, but you could end up losing her after the trip if you say yes .

Ask yourself how much you trust her but also ask yourself how much you trust her friends.

It's appropriate to express the concern and discuss it with her, but denying her permission to go will bring a tinge of jealousy to your relationship. This is an opportunity for you to extend her some trust, and for her to honor it. If, by some chance she does cheat on you, she will likely: a) feel horrible about it, and b) tell you. Then and only then should you reevaluate the relationship.

If she’s that type of gal, she’s already been cheating on you.

^ trust your gut but not your insecurities. If you’re dating that type of gal, you have nobody to blame but yourself for your choice of women. Young people in general love to have fun. Some have fun without cheating while drunk with friends. Some have fun and cheat while drunk.

It can be a cold world buddy.

Dude, she is going to be tipsy and mostly likely grinding on some dude. That is your best case scenario.

Every bar in Nashville has some Chad country singer and guitarist getting the ladies riled up and then they take 'em to the back after the show for some "shots." Your girlfriend is going to get passed around Tootsies like a lollipop at a daycare for poor kids. Be secure in your masculinity and tell her that you will be joining her on this "girls trip" and acting as a chaperone.

Duh…

Let her go on the trip and go cheat on her somewhere else…

Break up with her now. Just the fact that she's telegraphing this means she is going to be cheating on you a lot in Nashville. You okay with that, Beta?

Forget all that rationalization. Tell her “no” because you know it will be a booze fest and all sorts of crazy stuff could happen. If she insists, tell her to move out before she leaves.

And while we’re on the subject, why are you living with her without a marriage commitment anyway? The pootie is clouding your mind.

I'm going to let you know this...In 2018, I moved from California to Tennessee. I've been to Nashville and it's no longer Nashvul, country, boots and scoots and BBQ and family and God.

You have people who still have the roots but this is not your grandma's Nashvul.

I love country and small town and low-key party.

But this isn't this Nashville

Most people are not from Tennessee and if "yer gal priddeh (your girl is pretty)" she is going to be hit up by a lot of people.

I'd talk to her and ask about the trip.. the girlfriends...

I'd also ask how well you know her girlfriends.

Now if she's in Tennessee already.. fine.. but if this Nashville is a long way??

I'd wonder why Nashville..why now?

Food for thought.

Nashville? No worries, mate. Girls trip to Spain, Italy, Jamaica, Brazil or Las Vegas? Tactfully intervene.

I like the way you think.

if you're in your 20's this is a reality of many relationships. people are still in their party phases, and that doesn't mean they aren't committed to a relationship. but things definitely can and do happen on these trips. you are either secure in your relationship or not.

if this is one of many red flags look elsewhere.

You can tell who the men and the SIMPS are in this thread.

Telling your partner what they can and cannot do is a fast track to getting kicked to the curb. Imagine yourself in her situation. Do you travel with your friends? If you can’t trust your partner, it’s not a healthy relationship. Also, has she given you any reason not to trust her?

Sure. She wants to booze it up and bar crawl with her pals. She might as well hold up a neon sign saying “I’m sexually available” to all men within s ten mile radius. Whether she plans to get plowed or not (and she may very well not) this is the message she’ll send.
