>visiting GF in Osaka over Christmas break
>also want to visit another friend (girl) in Toyko whom I haven't seen in two years yet have still kept in touch with
>gf and I will be in Tokyo for a weekend, but due to schedules I would have to stay an extra day to see friend and otherwise go through a huge hassle, e.g. take an 8-hour bus alone to get back to Osaka
>gf is very bothered by this
>my reasoning: she's just a friend, but we've managed to keep in touch and I just want to see her to sustain the friendship, don't know when I could be in Japan again
>gf not having it
Any advice? Should I just suck it up and lose a friend because it makes my girlfriend uncomfortable?
Nope.

She feels like it's her or the other woman. Would you like to be in her position and feel like the other man?
Anyway to meet her for lunch or something with your gf?
Your gf would probably be a bit more chill if there was another dude or like a group there. Any other friends?

Not the same.

Unfortunately not, because of schedules. I told my gf many times she is welcome to come along, but she doesn't want to
Didn't we already have this thread a couple weeks ago?

Dude. Sometimes it's not about what you do, but rather what it looks like. This might be a perfectly reasonable situation from your perspective but put yourself in your girl's shoes for a second. You're literally either extending your trip or springing for an 8-hr bus ride just to go touch base with another female friend knowing that your gf doesn't wanna be present.
Depends on what you value more but I'd concede to the gf and just drop it unless your friend can come to Osaka
