How to tell someone you do not want them coming on holiday with you?

[BingBong36]

My husband just called me to say that his friend asked where we are going on holiday and could they join us with his wife and children.

We are going away for 2 weeks to a all inc resort in Spain.

Here is the problem, I do not particularly gel with the wife, and the thought of spending two weeks with her fills me with dread.

If told my husband this and he got the hump with me saying he would like them to come.

I can see it now, husband and mate propping up the bar while I listen to the wife talk about herself (she does this ALOT).

So my husband has told me to txt the wife saying we would rather go on our own.

How do I txt her this without sounding like an utter Biatch???

Please help me word it nicely.

Thanks

Blimey I hadn't thought of that!

Tell them you like to spend your holidays naked poolside

He is absolutely shit at confrontation of any kind.

he got shitty with me when I said no way

Not sure if he has txt him yet, I sure will will have a row about this tonight.

Sounds like he can manage confrontation, but only with you! If he wants a drinking holiday with his mates, that is another conversation, but if he wants to saddle you with an unwelcome holiday companion just so that he can have someone to prop up the bar with then he needs to take it on the chin if you don't play along! Perhaps pointing out to him that he seems to be happy to fall out with you about it in favour of being mildly embarrassed in front of his friend might focus his mind a little...
