Cancel or go without him?

[Dazedandconfused10]

DH and I booked a holiday at the start of the year. A once in a lifetime kind of holiday. However, due to serious health issues with a family member DH has to realistically look at not going. He still wants me to go but I'm so torn. My gut says stay home but it's a trip we have been waiting to take for so long. What would you do?

If you are happy going then go unless you can postpone without losing lots of money.

I think I could, But I don't know if I'd have as much fun on my own. If we postpone it's unlikely we'd be able to rebook before September. I am pretty sure staying home is the sensible choice though

If it was a once in a lifetime holiday that you really both want to experience together and you could rebook easily then that is what I would do. September will come around very quickly.

If I was going to lose the money then I would probably still go and make the most of it.

What holiday?

I'd move the holiday of possible. It's not like you'll never be able to go. Otherwise can you transfer the ticket and go with someone else?

It's so travel round Asia so too late notice for someone to get holiday booked for it.

We've waited so long to go on holiday, we've not had a break in 4 years and we are exhausted.

I wouldn't travel around Asia alone.

Support your DH and rebook for when things are calmer.

I agree that if it's a once in a lifetime trip you should wait and do it together

I’d cancel and re-arrange for a later date. If it’s such an amazing trip you will want to share your experiences with someone so it’s going to be awkward not talking about it with your husband in years to come.

Can you not rebook for a later date.? Would rhe cost impact be too much?

I need to look into our insurance, and getting the length of time booked off work. But the right thing to do is cancel so I'll just suck up any losses we might get.
