To be annoyed with DP over cancelled holiday

This has been a horrible year.

We can't have a normal summer holiday for various reasons, but DP and I agreed to take a special long weekend abroad in September. I got it all booked up a few days ago after a lengthy discussion over several weeks.

Today he told me that he forgot he had an immovable work commitment on the Thursday so we have to cancel??? He wants to rebook in the UK due to the shorter travel times.

He says he is sorry and disappointed, but he has form for calendar incompetence.

I'm extremely angry.

YABU: Give him a break and suck it up, travel in the UK

YANBU: What a knob

You are not being at all unreasonable to be angry and disappointed with him.

You would not be at all unreasonable to leave him behind and go on the holiday on your own or with a friend.

Clearly he is not to be relied on and it sounds like he might have form for this sort of thing (calendar incompetence).

I'd rethink the relationship if he really can't get his act together. These sorts of things matter.

I'd go without him.

Sounds like he's making an excuse not to go, to be honest. If it's not already cancelled I'd go alone or take a friend.

He definitely just fucked up and failed to check his schedule.

Can you go ahead and he can follow? Spend your first day doing something you'd like to do.

Take someone else.

Change the name on the booking and go with a friend

He is a knob. I’m sorry, that sucks. Take a friend instead?

coaltitsrock · 20/08/2024 21:06

book something somewhere nice and go on your own?
