Getting out of a trip I've committed to

Just be honest. There is no crime in saying the trip is too expensive. Real friends are going to be ok with this.

We did this with one group of friends. We are still friends.

My wife has been going on biannual trips with a group of friends. After the last trip, my wife said she is not going on the next trip. “I am not as interested in the next trip as the rest of you”.

My wife is still friends with this group.

I have noticed that my friends and I have less ego compared to when we are young. We are all decaying.

I think we are more forgiving of our friends. Some of them have had cancer. Others have major issues. Missing a trip is not high on a scale.
