I love DP but he is a massive procrastinator.
Been trying to nail down summer holiday plans for august for the past month and he's being really annoying - we want to go somewhere in France but dont even know what region. He wants to drive (i dont drive and think it would be better to get the train but hes adamant). Thats about all he is actually decided on.
Other than that, im like....southbof france? Around montpellier? Near Marseille? Further up near Bordeaux? Or how about Ardeche? And hes like, "oh yeah we could go there! Ooh yeah, we could do! Yeah why not!" And "I need to properly investigate".
Yes mate. Yes you fucking do, because like 80% of places are booked, because 80% of people sorted this shit in january.
So im on AirBnB showing him places and he's just looking at my screen vaguely but mainly focussing on the simpsons.
In a fit of smooth, incredibly controlled rage, and only half jokingly, i said "oh I dont know darling partner, maybe fuck it, maybe we could just decide where we're going on the morning of our holiday". His reply was "we could do actually".
...
So. I now have 2 options:
- decide where we are going and book it, knowing he'll be fine with whatever. But that kind of takes the fun out of it you know? I dont want to decide alone. Also why the fuck should i, im not a fucking tour operator service!
- and this is what im seriously considering: actually just leaving it to chance and deciding on the morning we leave and just sleeping and visiting and staying wherever we happen upon. If that means wild camping, sleeping in shitty bnbs, roughing it in the car on the way, so be it.
Bearing in mind im actually quite relaxed (i mean slumming it doesnt bother me, im pretty sure me and DP will have a ball wherever we end up and along the way).
Whaddaya think MN?
