I'm having the worst holiday aibu ?

[seaandsandy]

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 would just read, swim and ignore him and change your mindset about expecting him to be good company.

Have you got much longer to go? I agree wth others about re-evaluating your relationship on your return.

The alcohol is one major big problem, so is ignoring / not noticing how unhappy you are.

Google for some excursions you can book onto. Dump him when you get home.

yabu,
communicate with your boyfriend.
it is a make or break situation and thus far it is broken.

You';ve only been together for a few months - you were not to know that he was a big drinker like this and now has the excuse that its ' free' - you dont know someone till you live with them, is a very good saying and its true. if you were self catering and having to go out and buy bottles of drink, then he might not be as bad and just drink in the evenings or something.
either way, he is treating you badly and not caring about you having a nice time or having a trip out somewhere or doing something else.

What time is your flight home? Hopefully the all-inc will end long before as otherwise that could be an issue (ex rep here who had several customers denied boarding as they drank right up until leaving the hotel).

We do AI holidays frequently. I always enjoy reaffirm no if people’s horror of them on here. It’s not everyone’s thing to turn it into an all day bender or never leave the resort.

The ones that do are usually in a very sorry state as they us usually overdo the sun too and look like they’ve got radiation burns by day 3. They are easily avoided and amusing in a cautionary tale way.

I’ve been to Tunisia before. Pop along to the nearest 5 star hotel and find a rep there that will sign you onto an excursion to Carthage or a souk. We tried camel riding too which was brilliant.

Come back rested and with a nice early summer tan.

Ditch Vodka Boy at Gatwick arrivals.

Sticking to salads

Well that's the wrong thing to eat esp is sitting out for ages

But that’s irrelevant because the boyfriend is getting blind drunk and falling over.

it’s completely relevant as if you’d read my post you would have seen I was saying that just because it’s there doesn’t mean it needs to be consumed to the point of blind drunkenness. 🙄

Well look at it this way. The holiday has saved you months of wasted time with him, by showing you just what a loser he is. This time next week you'll be free to find someone better.

You are going to dump his sorry, inebriated and selfish ass, yes?

Honestly? I'd just go home.

We have night time entertainment but it's literally karaoke or a mime artist last night.
I feel like I'm at butlins

Well that is an insult to Butlins, which sounds like it would be a million times better than the shite holiday you are having.

Boyfriend sounds like a twat, but you also sound like a bit of a bore.

You must have some paperwork type stuff from when you arrived with your reps details on it?

Can you call them and see if there are any excursions available. There must be something to do. You surely can't be compounded to the horrible hotel/apartments?

Even if the excursions aren't organised by the hotel there will be others that you can book externally. Have a Google. They'll probably pick you up from the hotel too.

Don't eat the salads! They are the worst for tummy bugs

Drop your expectations of how the holiday would have been, and try to enjoy the last few days without him - relax, sunbathe, read, listen to music. It's disappointing that it's not the holiday you thought it would be but, as a huge plus, you now know what kind of person your BF is. It could have been years before you found that out. Use the sunbathing time to start planning your future!

good point about the journey home, he needs to be sober for this.
you may end up going home alone as it is anyway if they leave him behind for being so drunk or sick on the coach to the airport or something. i would be counting down the hours myself as it all sounds awful.

I'm sorry you're having a shit holiday but

the beach is full of seaweed

1. He is an alcoholic, he's shown tou his true self so take notice & dump him.

1. You're only 5 months in to the relationship so it's relatively new. He should be paying you attention, not getting blind drunk & avoiding you.

1. Dump him, do not have his children. Can you imagine every single family holiday with this man will involve him being drunk & you taking care of the kids.

1. You have absolutely nothing in common with a man who needs alcohol to function on a daily basis. You deserve more than this.

@PositiveVibez how is she a bore???

No, that isn't normal. On AI, Dp and I will normally have a couple of beers or cocktails in the afternoon by the pool, before showering and getting dressed for dinner.
On the days we leave the hotel and explore/eat out we wouldn't drink alcohol as its normally so hot we would stick to coke or lemonade.
The people who hit the booze from breakfast end up making a show of themselves-thankfully only seen that a couple of times during the day.

Sign on to online dating sites, you can get a few dates lined up for once you are home. As others have said dump him at arrivals.

I would be worried about getting him home as presumably your flight is late at night which means all day drinking. Maybe being left on his own at the airport in a drunken stupor will teach him a lesson.

I do tend to drink a bit more on AI but not to the point of being ill and after a couple of days it gets boring

Think of it as £286 well spent to discover just how incompatible you are. Put it down to experience, and make the most of the pool, sun, and reading. And dump him when you get back.

And yes just spend the rest of your time sunbathing, reading and relaxing

Next time book Valencia in Spain, it's got a beach and a city so you get a beach and a city break for the price of one!

Next time ditch the boyfriend and go with friends.

Download the app - get your guide and find some excursions, they pick up from the hotel - the hotel isn't your problem, your partner is. We always go AI but don't get bladdered every day.
