seaandsandy · 23/06/2019 10:01

Me and my boyfriend of 5 months have came on holiday on Wednesday.
We are in Tunisia.
We got a cheap deal £286 each all inclusive,I thought amazing.
It's grim
The bar is open 10am to midnight and every day/night he has been drinking,to a point he keeps falling over.
He starts drinking after breakfast.
We haven't left the hotel.
He says why pay for all inclusive to leave the hotel.
Aibu to think this is the Pitts ?
Weather is hot

I'd say leave the hotel without him but isn't Tunisia a renowned shithole where solo women get harassed? That's what I learnt from MN!

mushroommayhem · 23/06/2019 10:07

Oh God that sounds horrific!

How long are you out there for?

Hopefully not too long and you can just try your best to make the most of it and get through it.

Did you research the hotel?

Theimpossiblegirl · 23/06/2019 10:07

It sounds shit. If you don't make any friends maybe go on an organised excursion without him?
This would be the end of the line for me, hope you're ok.

Hoppinggreen · 23/06/2019 10:08

Please don’t leave the hotel on your own in Tunisia
Me and my friend were harassed with our husbands just 100 yards in front of us
It’s too late now you are there but why did you think you were getting AI for under £300?
And seriously re evaluate your relationship when you get home

OhioOhioOhio · 23/06/2019 10:08

Do you live with him or can you finish with him when you go home?

HennyPennyHorror · 23/06/2019 10:09

Ew. Go home. He's showed you who he is. Don't suffer any longer!

sackrifice · 23/06/2019 10:09

It sounds grim.

When is the flight home?

IvanaPee · 23/06/2019 10:09

It’s actually one of the very few places where I would caution against going out alone.

You’re going to have to suck it up I’m afraid.

He’d be my ex boyfriend the second we landed though.

Sexnotgender · 23/06/2019 10:10

That sounds like my idea of hell. Tunisia is crazy hot right now too.

Are there any guided tours you can go on? I’ll be honest Tunisia isn’t somewhere id wander around alone as a woman.

Did you have any idea he’d be like this? He sounds like a loser.

gotmychocolateimgood · 23/06/2019 10:10

I think your partner is the problem, not the holiday. What's the food like? Are the pools nice?

mushroommayhem · 23/06/2019 10:10

Agree with the other posters too - don't go wandering alone.

Please speak to him about his behaviour. If not how, as soon as you get home. He doesn't sound like good boyfriend material to me!

NCforthis2019 · 23/06/2019 10:10

Did you know he was going to be like this - does he drink much at home?

I would re-evaluate relationship when I get back. For now, try to have a nice time

We come back home Wednesday ..well early hours Thursday morning.
Is this normal when in all inclusive to just get drunk? And that's your holiday.
I've never been to Tunisia before.
Normally stick to Spain /Cyprus/Greece.
I'm a bit scared to go out of hotel alone.
We don't live together no.

What did you really expect for a weeks all inclusive for £300... of course it’s grim

Mysleepthiefslept · 23/06/2019 10:11

Oh no Shock 5 months in do you even know each other?

pictish · 23/06/2019 10:11

Sounds ghastly yes. How boring. Leave him in the bar and explore yourself or go home. My advice.

Food is edible but nothing fancy.
Some food is just sat there for ages.
I'm being careful what I eat tbh.
Sticking to salads/jacket potatoes
Not touching any meat /fish /eggs

OP posts:
Mysleepthiefslept · 23/06/2019 10:12

Can you not just sunbathe and read, and leave him to it?

gotmychocolateimgood · 23/06/2019 10:13

It's not normal to drink all day. Maybe a drink with lunch, or in the afternoon, then a few in the evening. He must feel really ill when he wakes up!

I don’t think she means the hotel, I think she’s saying her boyfriend’s behaviour is grim because he’s acting like an alcoholic twat

The pools are ok but outside is the beach ..the beach is full of rubbish and seaweed.
Not even putting my feet on that.
It's red hot here.
He fell over last night and spilt a full drink over himself.
So embarrassing

Whisky2014 · 23/06/2019 10:14

He's not the one for you. Get a flight and come home early.
I'd hate it too

Atalune · 23/06/2019 10:14

How old is he??

I would get a good book, stuck my headphones in and work on my tan.

I could deal with the hotel,as it's not bad.
He is just no conversation as he is that drunk.
He drinks loads of water when he wakes up then gets back on the vodka.
I've only ever been away with friends.
Normally we get up have breakfast,sunbathe then in afternoon we would explore.
I'm fed up

It sounds shit but you should have known it would be for that price. Go explore on your own or have a few drinks too
