I have relatives who live overseas. In the past me and the dc have gone on holiday/visit to see them. In the past my mum has paid. Sadly she passed away in 2011. I did not visit in 2012.
My siblings are now talking about going this year. I really want to as relative have suffered a tragic bereavement.
I really want to go but dh basically said he only wants us to pay for holidays we all go on. I have in the past asked dh to come with me but he is not interested.
Aibu to want to go bearing in mine dh has probably spent double the amount it would cost on football and other items that only he and dc benefit from.
Incidently i am a sahm at mo but do have some inheritance left so money won't even be coming out of joint pot.
Thank you.

Not for funeral. Unable to go as death sudden. Just want to spend time with them during half term.

We are fortunate that we have a flat on the coast owned by mil that we can use so family holidays normally involve going there. Other than that normally just do the odd overnight in a hotel so Shouldn't really impact. I know in theory inheritance should be seen as joint money but I guess that i do think of it as my money because i think he doesn't always treat his salary/ joint account as joint.

Forgive me - your financial stuff isn't my business - but it sounds as if you could afford it easily. So I don't understand why he is saying no?

He's a twat.
You will be visiting your family.
Why would you let him dictate where you can go or not?
