Happy to have an additional person? Awkward by the third wheel?
For additional context: YOU picked out the dates for the trip, it just so happened your partners friend is also going to be there, so can’t blame your partner on planning it all along. Also, you’re there for a couple of weeks and the friend is trying to tag along for maybe 3 days.

I’d assume that was their plan all along, I’d be hurt. It’s an anniversary trip.
I’d refuse to continue with the plans
I’m not going on a trip with my bf and his best friends because that wasn’t the plan
I’d pull out and tell them to enjoy their little trip together. I’d tell my partner to expect me to have moved out by the time they return.
I wouldn’t mind. It’s just a trip.
Wait – so, lets say… we planned a 2 week, or 1 week, trip to say… Barcelona, Madrid, Portugal, or maybe Norther Italy.. whatever.
Or we’re in The beautiful islands of southeast Asia.
It turns out one of our good friends who is traveling on their own time, maybe for work, or family, or pleasure, will also be close enough to take a train, or fly, in for a few days and meet up.
That sounds like a lot of fun! We hit up a couple of historic spots together, we have dinner together one night. We grab lunch. They head off to airport or their next destination. Or they go on their way.
Sounds like a great tie in to a fun trip – assuming we aren’t going too much out of our plans to make this happen.
I don’t see any issue- assuming we are both on board.
That’s awesome! Let’s have adventures! If it’s only a few days out of a multiple-week trip that sounds like a nice way to spend some of our time out there. If it were for the entirety of the trip, yeah I’d be upset.
Wouldn’t mind meeting said friend for a dinner or sightseeing.
Sounds fun! Let’s get together and hang out for a few days, I’m game.
