DH is desperate to go. Every conversation we have had with other people (friends family etc) this Christmas has come back to it. "I want to go skiing LRS won't let us. To the extent that today when it came up for the sixth time over the past few days, this time in front of his best friend I said in frustration "can we just try to have one person we don't argue about skiing in front of?". I said it in a nice(ish) way and he responded "can you just stop being permanently stroppy?".
He is getting the kids to ask ten times a day, particularly in front of people.
He is seriously pissed off with me about the fact that we're not going and every time I try to talk about anything money related e.g. the new kitchen we are in the middle of having done, he just refuses to discuss it and says he wants to go skiing.
I hate skiing. We went two years ago because he wanted to go. It was his 40th birthday treat. The kids are very much beginners and I can ski but don't enjoy it. He went every year when he was little until he was in his twenties.
We can't afford to go. It is a ridiculously expensive holiday. We are going to Florida in October for two weeks and we can't change this. I have recently left my job to set up a new business and cashflow is an issue, whilst some months income is goo others it is non existent.
I feel like I'm dealing with a sulky teenager not an adult. We are now barely talking and I'm finding it really upsetting.
AIBU? Should we just spend money we don't really have (or have earmarked for other things)?
