Husband isn't happy I have booked a weekend in Blackpool...

[ringsingling]

Next weekend he said he fancied going away in the UK for two nights.
I asked him where he fancied and he's words were "I don't care ,just a nice break with you "
We haven't been away since July when we went to Cyprus so thought a little trip was a nice idea.
I looked at Edinburgh and hotels were so overpriced
Found a b&b in Blackpool for £130 for two nights with breakfast.
Reviews said it was nice.
Obviously it's a no frills b&b but I don't care.

I used to go to Blackpool every year with my mum and she passed away when I was 13 (now I'm 30) and honestly it was the place with all my happy memories.
I know the back is run down now but I thought it would be nice.
I found a couple of nice bars -bloom bar and beach club or beach bar.

Anyway told husband and he isn't happy
He said he didn't mind ...then I book and he's miserable

Is it that bad now ?
I just thought a couple of cheesy days
Maybe do madam tuzaards,the tower etc
I just want to go to remember my mum too,walk past the hotel we used to stay at.
It's still open

Hardly somewhere I'd pick for a couple's getaway. Of all the places...

Some proper snobs on this thread 😂

Given this, have a great time. If he makes a negative comment ask how many times you moaned at the rugby match or stadium tour, and does he really think he’s the only one who should ever be prioritised?? Tell him If he wants to make one more comment he can not come/go home and you will never again do something that’s not your favourite because he wants to, now you know that’s not a two way thing.

sometimes men forget their partner is actually a person too. He didn’t book anything, you did, and he can come as long as he doesn’t moan.

"There need not be a dull minute all day and there are plenty of pubs and restaurants in the town so no need to travel elsewhere."

Lytham is a few quid in a taxi and a meal and a bit of a pub crawl there will be nice for both the OP and her husband. Blackpool is good at what it's good at but on a Saturday night I imagine they'll be glad of the change of scenery

Not the gotcha you thought it was considering I hadn't seen the post saying she was in Newcastle at that point. It was posted a few minutes earlier.
But yeah. Absolutely hilarious!
🤣

Or you could just RTFT.

OP, your love for Blackpool and unwavering enthusiasm for your trip in the face of us naysayers is making me happy, I can’t quite explain why. Hope you have a lovely time.

You know what weird thing I'm looking forward too ...you know when your staying in a b&b and you walk down the stairs and can smell the breakfast (that makes me feel so nostalgic ha ha )

He has seen our excited I am and is okay about it now
He wants to go see The Corrs in November so I have said that can be "his thing" of the year.
I can't remember a song they sang so il be on Apple Music all October 🤣

This ☝🏼

The Corrs? Crikey, and people thought you had bad taste with Blackpool 😂

@ItWasOnAStarryNight honestly what a pair we make ha ha

I don't know, in my relationship even if we say 'I'm easy' we'd both know that meant somewhere nice and not Blackpool 😂 unless specifically discussed to go somewhere niche like Blackpool, if that makes sense.

My god..

Yes definitely not a dull moment, I'd echo that.

But it depends if not dull includes open drug taking, fighting and smashed out of their faces stag and hen dos...

@BigDahliaFan Easy to avoid..
