I have wanted to go away for ages but due partners work we have to wait till June for our main holiday.
Today he texts me saying he has booked 2 nights in Gran Canaria next weekend.
We don’t get there till 5pm Saturday and come home 5pm monday.
What is the point
The flights were only £40 return but still ridiculous
Aibu to be annoyed ?

So he knew you wanted a break and went ahead and arranged one?

That sounds absolutely rubbish.

That's eight hours of flying, plus getting to and from the airport twice, and waiting at the airport......for one day in the sun.

Well you would get Saturday evening, all day Sunday, Sunday evening and Monday morning. Plenty of time to have a nice weekend.

How can someone be annoyed by someone trying to do something nice for you? Beggars belief.

So he knows you have been desperate to get away so he has arranged it? How awful!

Absolutely! No one said LTB yet?

I’ll go

Or me!!

Burningbud1981 · 24/02/2026 18:18

I’ll go

ErlingHaalandsManBun · 24/02/2026 18:17

Wait so he has booked the weekend for you both to go together?

If he has then YABU and a little bit ungrateful.

But if you don't want to go then don't, I am sure your partner can find someone else to take who will be grateful of a couple of nights away.

Edited to add that its not really a big deal having to wait until June for your main holiday. You sound spoilt!

WeepingAngelInTheTardis · 24/02/2026 18:12
