To only like going on holiday by myself

[MsOliphant]

I'm on holiday with my DP. Busy European capital city.

I love my DP. He's great. For various reasons this is the first time we've managed to co-ordinate a holiday together in two and a half years. No kids, mainly due to work or financial commitments.

I've had holidays by myself in that time. I used to travel by myself all the time. I love it. Holidaying with friends is my worst nightmare. No problem sitting in a bar or restaurant by myself people watching or with a book.

So I'm probably out of practice, as sharing my holiday with another person has become a challenge. He wants to sleep late. I don't. He keeps moaning we haven't had time to do all the things we wanted that's because you sleep until midday you idiot

and the constant talking to me 😂 While I'm trying to drink my wine and people watch from a street cafe. It's driving me mad.

I feel like we should be draped all over each other feeding one another schnitzel off of our forks and laughing gaily, or clinking our beers and laughing with wild abandon.

I yearn for my solo holidays!

lighthearted lighthearted lighthearted sort of

I love a solo holiday!

I enjoy travel with my husband, but he likes snowboaring and I don't. I scuba dive/yoga and he doesn't. We take separate holidays once every other year or so (or if I'm going to work conferences) and it's bliss

I long for a holiday alone. I'm very dull on holiday. I just like to read and relax which is the opposite to DH's idea of a holiday. He's like Tigger and I don't have the energy.

I think I just like to be left alone and not talked to

Be careful what you wish for ...

I have several solo trips a year and then get a right shock when I go away with DP as I have to actually take him into consideration and then...compromise. Yuck!

Yeah, that is exactly what I mean thatmustbe.... I'm finding it too difficult to say things like...'sure, that sounds like fun' or 'yeah great, I'd love to go to that place where they serve schnitzel the size of your head'

I'm horrible though as he has no problem compromising for me
