Do booked holiday without consulting me.

[snufflehuff]

We've been planning to do a last minute holiday I.e. We're going on Monday. We were planning on booking it tonight. Together. My one condition was that it wasn't in Devon. Nothing wrong with Devon, it's just we've been about 6 times in the last 5 years. We've done everything there is to do there.

He's just come in from work and said it's all booked. We're going to fucking DEVON. Again. He's also spent twice as much as we'd agreed to spend. I found some lovely holidays in Wales, Isle of Wight etc. But no, we're going to the same bloody place again.

AIBU to be annoyed?

Have to say OP you've given him no incentive to do anything differently next year so don't complain when if the same thing happens again.

Thankyou snufflehuff…………….it is so rare on this site to meet reasonable responses-especially to us men. You are a STAR!

...and there you have it. OP doesn't get any say in her own holiday, but a man tells her she's being lovely and reasonable. So all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds 😜

@OnlyaMan's post is like an example you'd come across to demonstrate how women are conditioned to accept any old shit, but be given approval so they think they're behaving like adults for having done the right thing.

(must admit I wondered if @OnlyaMan was a feminist doing a reverse just for fun)

Onlyaman or Mr Hufflepuff?

Sorry Snufflehuff

Hope you enjoy Devon and Bath. Get searching early for your trip abroad, with you in charge of the keyboard.
My dh took our daughter to Bath for the day in the school holidays. They did a guided tour of the Abbey, that included climbing up 200 steps to view from the top of the tower. They both enjoyed it so may be worth a visit (if you don't mind steps!). We found the info online.

I wouldn't go.
He does sound like a total twat.

I'd be fuming. It's a dick move, did he know you said no to Devon? Doesn't matter if he's boring, or likes to go to the same places, your opinions count too. I probably wouldn't go to spike husband.. but I can be petty sometimes

Omg. As beautiful as Devon is.7 times.is a bit much when there's so much more to be elsewhere.
I have no words op.

What's his excuse for completely ignoring what you agreed?

Let him go to Devon.

Book yourself a week in Greece.

The Irony, Juells.

The fact you've just rolled over and accepted this OP means, quite honestly, you're a doormat, your DH knows it, and is quite happy to disregard your feelings totally. Why on earth would you believe him that next year he'll stick to his word.

Not only did he book something KNOWING you didn't want it, but he also spent TWICE the amount you'd agreed to spend.

Sorry, but that's not an equal partnership that most of us would accept in a normal respectful long term relationship or marriage.

I would be really annoyed if I specificall said I didn't want to go to a certain place but he went and booked there anyway. That's really bad form of him

Why don't you post again for suggestions of what to do when in Devon - and pick different places to go to while you are there etc. Might make it less boring if you find something you've not been to before.

Enjoy your holiday!

This is a joke right?

Her oh books a holiday he was specifically told not to as op is sick of going to the same place over and over again, for twice the budget
twice the price to do the same damm thing she doesnt want to do yet op is supposed to be magnanimous and say "thank you dear how amazing you actually did something by yourself" and royally fucked it up?

Why should op put up with this shit? Totally ignoring her wishes and thier agreement yet she has to suck it up as she is a woman and we must not upset the poor men.

I would have been straight on and cancelled it and rebooked elsewhere.
As long as you put up with this op he will keep 'surprising you' with exactly what he wants to do.

@OnlyaMan Can I just say, in response to this it is so rare on this site to meet reasonable responses-especially to us men - what a total load of bollocks. I say that as a fellow man. The fact that your username is what it is speaks volumes also.

Come clean, @OnlyaMan You're really a woman having a laugh, aren't you? 😁
