Have name changed for this! We are both late 40s.
We have 2 weeks holiday coming up - one week a light activity based holiday and 2nd week a lie by the beach type holiday. First time ever I've had 2 weeks holiday abroad and the first time in years I've managed 2 consecutive weeks off from work so I've really been looking forward to it.
Dp has been ill so has been off work for a month - 1 week in hospital and 3 weeks at home. He's due to go back to work after our holiday. He has a condition (only just diagnosed after the hospital stay) that requires him to eat and drink sensibly or it flares up again.
He has been making noises about the activity based holiday being a bit hard for him but we called where we were going and it was possible for dp to skip a lot of the stuff and do other less strenuous things. We couldn't cancel the holiday as our travel insurance wouldn't cover it.
Last week dp had a friend round and he ended up drinking too much with him. This triggered his condition in the next few days and we were unable to take our first flight. Because he was actually properly ill, we were then able to cancel the flights and the holiday - the airline let us keep a credit for the flights to rebook and the holiday place let us cancel with a medical certificate. With sensible behaviour, dp should be fine for next week and we had separate flights for this.
I am trying to be positive as there is genuinely a lot I can do at home this week but obviously I'm a bit disappointed. Dp has not apologised once. In fact, he thinks it's a right result because we now have a credit to use on more flights and he didn't particularly want to do the first week anyway.
Aibu in thinking he could be a little bit sorry especially as he caused this by being a bit of a dick with his mate? On the one hand, I do feel sorry for him as no one actively wants to be ill and he has been trying but on the other hand he is 48 not bloody 17 so it's not like this wasn't predictable.
