Aargh DP on holiday!

[LunchPoems]

It’s beautiful here. On child free holiday with DP. All I hear is about his mosquito bites, it’s too hot, he’s swathed in mosquito repellent, fly
spray, and moaning about the heat. It’s not unexpected. I just want to relax and enjoy the loveliness without a backdrop of moaning and chemicals 🤣 It’s like I'm
his mum. Just venting before I cause a row

But it wasn’t “a resort”

your words

This wasn’t fun. A week away in a resort.

Do you and he have children together?

is this a new rel and this side to home came as a shock?

We went to a lovely, normal, temperate place and he moaned like fuck

Yes you said that

but what one person enjoys, another doesn’t. And you seem to be picking him on quite daft things (not trying the language - on a week’s holiday in a resort (your word) is hardly unusual)

Are you still together?

mosquito bites can make you feel miserable. When I get them abroad they swell up and are very unpleasant.

Can't believe people are making excuses for your pita boyfriend. He sounds pathetic and I wouldn't put up with the whinging either. Can you do stuff on your own for the rest of the holiday?

@LunchPoems I am sorry you have had a tough time on holiday and I am totally with you regarding at least attempting the language!
It's not about being fluent conversational level but at least trying to decipher so you can enjoy the whole experience.
I hate ruined holidays because some is belligerent/ sulky etc. I doesn't bode well for moving forward. I dislike mood hoovers!

** IT doesn't bode well!

I think it’s lazy not learning (and rude) even a few words, at the very least please and thank yous and greets etc. Sounds like he is very miserable and that’s unfortunate as it obviously impacts your experience. Sorry you aren’t having a nice time. OP. I would be tempted to find someone younger and hotter to befriend round the pool! 😂

He sounds like a fun sponge

Yes, fun sponge is the phrase 🤣

He is in his sixties and whilst he can be a little negative, I’ve never seen anything like this.

i was tempted @Trixiefirecracker 😃

I should say that I was patient and not grumpy with him, as he was very clear that he was NOT being unreasonable or moany

Any form of misery on holiday would be a deal breaker for me OP.

If hes in his 60s ,then maybe hes a bit set in his ways? Not everyone enjoys holidays .My friends DH is the same ,he doesnt even like holidays here FFS! Having to sleep in a different bed ,only liking certain foods cooked a certain way.It would drive me mad! Maybe look at singles hols /saga?

Holiday sabotage. Deal breaker. I can’t stand a petty moaner. A petty moaner spoiling my holiday? The. End.

Regarding the language, it doesn't take much effort to learn please and thank you, to be polite to people.
