Sorry for long post. We have no kids in mid 20s /early 30s and have just bought first house, having been saving for a few years for deposit. We therefore haven’t been on holiday for about 3 years. (I know not a long time as many people can’t afford any holidays so I really don’t want to sound like a entitled brat.. growing up both me and partner only went on one family holiday during entire childhood as we’re not from well off families) anyway we moved in In December, and are doing it up slowly, and have bought most of the furniture so far second hand so have no debt whatsoever other than mortgage, and have already saved another £10000 since then (we had a but of a buffer after moving then partner got made redundant, received a payment and found another job within a week fortuneately, and I’m still saving about £700 a month). We both have decent incomes, partner earns more but we both pay equal amounts to mortgage /bills etc and I buy most stuff for the house. I feel very very fortunate to be in the position to have bought a house, but we also both work long hours, often opposite hours so don’t see each other that often, and we both get very stressed out. Recently I’ve had a really bad period of anxiety and just really feel like getting away and actually having some time not thinking about work and spending quality time with partner doing fun things would be so good for both of us, I’ve even suggested a place where we can do lots of mountain biking as that’s what partner loves and what helps him relax, and I can pay for it all, think it’ll be under £1000 so it can come out if my savings . I’ve said he can go off some days to mountain bike by himself which I thought he’d love. But partner is not happy in new job and wants to change, he already got a new offer but has rejected it due to doubts about the company. I feel like he will find something soon but he’s an extreme ‘glass half empty ‘ type of person. Even if he didn’t get a new job, we stress tested our mortgage so I can pay for everything if needed from my income. He says going on holiday will just be one more thing to stress about, which I don’t understand as we still have enough money and I can pay for it. We had an argument last night in which he said I’m not listening to him and I’m just upset about not getting what I want. It made me feel like I was being an entitled spoilt brat, but I just feel like we both work so hard and what for if we can’t enjoy our lives? Again I know I’m very very very fortunate to now have a house but just really feel like getting away would be really good for us. We are really careful with money and I feel like we’re in a good financial position to book a holiday, and it’s not going to be a super extravagant travellingthe world thing, just one week in Italy.. Sorry I’ve typed this really quickly, not sure what point is but he’s made me feel really unreasonable when I don’t think I am.. any advice to make him see that we’re in a good position, and why holidays are good for mental health/relationships would be much appreciated.
