A travelling companion that I have seen pretty regularly over the last few years has done a last minute cancel on me three times in a row. When you travel the risks (costs) associated with a no show are multiplied.
The excuses are legitate and can be documented. I also hold no hard feelings despite some of the wasted traveling money. Hey things happen. Nevertheless there is an uncomfortable breakdown developing.
She feels guilty about it and is afraid to make any future commitment out of fear of canceling and I do not want to continually ask over and over again. My apprehension is part that no one likes to be stood up but more so that I do not like asking repeatedly - don't want to crowd someone or indirectly add to her feelings of guilt.
I am at a crossroad. Do I scratch her off my list and seek a new traveling companion or do I take another chance with her?
What would you do?
