AIBU?
DH has always had a thing for boats, he didn't have any when we met but speaking with long time friends it is probably the only period in his life when he didn't have one. Now he has 4!
I don't care that he has them, but he wants me to join in his happy sailing shit. I don't like boats, they tip over and people drown, I've been out once with him and when I wasn't helping pull ropes and jump from one side to the other I was curled up with my eyes closed freaking out, but he is convinced that I would be his ideal sailing partner no matter how many times I have told him I don't want to. He's gone off with the shits today because I would rather sleep than spend the day sailing. We spend plenty of time together so it's not like I never see him. He works hard and wants to spend his down time trying to combine me and his recreational activities. He thinks I just need to get used it so can spend a holiday sometime in 2015 sailing the tropics, my idea of hell. It has gotten to the stage where I'm having anxiety twinges every time he mentions the bloody things.
Apart from me not wanting anything to do with them, I have a chronic health condition and debilitating fatigue is one of the things I live with everyday. My one and only trip left me with bruising up and down my legs and I was bedridden for two days afterwards feeling like I'd been hit by a bus. Not my idea of a good time.
So AIBU not wanting to go sailing with him and to tell him to find some other fool to go holidaying with? Or am I just talking myself into it like he thinks?
