Romantic weekend away

[Housingcraze]

Cottage with hot tub - covered in roses for DP birthday

DP wants to tell family about it.

I don’t want DP to do so - I feel it’s a private couple time together - DP think I keeping him in background and doesn’t like it

I just feel something in life should be private.

AIBU??

Is this a reverse?

Tell them so they can come or just tell them in general?

I don’t quite understand. My fiancé had organised a romantic night away for us for my birthday this month. I was chatting to my mum about it simply because it was something exciting that was coming up.

I’m confused why you would have an issue with them telling their family in general?

They know about weekend but it just what I done for DP roses hot tub romantic stuff rather they just know about weekend and tourist stuff

He/she is proud of you and how you feel about each other.

Are you embarrassed about your show of affection? Why do you not want the family to know?

You put rose petals in someone's hot tub?! Hope you cleaned them out

I am confused. Can you perhaps articulate this a bit more clearly please ?

When my partner did this for me, I sent a picture to my mum and best friend (the next day), it's a hot tub what's there to be embarrassed about?

To be fair this is why MN calls hot tubs sex ponds

You can’t put roses in a bloody hot tub!

That not romantic, it’s a bloody filtration nightmare.

That not romantic, it’s a bloody filtration nightmare.

My new favourite phrase.

That not romantic, it’s a bloody filtration nightmare.

I get you op. I hate that stuff - it's almost opening it up to judgement or comment

I just want it to be a personal thing- I done things before for DP and within the year DP family buy or do same thing just copy no effort at all!

I doubt if anyone else is going to stick roses in hot tub for your partner.

At least I hope no one else copies an idea like that. Who cleared it up?

Well they are hardly going to fill a hot tub with roses for your DP are they.

@HarrietKettleWasHere that is possibly the best line I have ever read on here

Omg I didn’t put roses 🌹 into hot tub just on the bed!!!

I would not care if somebody did the same as me. Booking a stay at a cottage with hot tub and then using said hot tub is nice but not particularly imaginative anyway.

So Alfie190 what’s is imaginative if your such a romantic

Who else on the family is going to put roses on his bed?

Are you worried that DPs family will picture you having filthy sex amongst the rose petals?

I do get you a bit. I am trying to plan something for DH and wanted my parents to have the kids for a night but then I thought 'eeeek, they will know their daughter is planning a dirty weekend!'
