Holidaying with friends

DH has suggested we have a 2-week summer holiday next year with his oldest friend and his wife. I get on fine with them but find them a bit hard work and have said I don't want our main holiday to be with them. I told DH a long weekend or just a week with them would be ok as a compromise.
He has said I am unfair, am limiting him and he finds my opinion unpleasant and annoying.
If I suggested holidaying with people he didn't fancy holidaying with, I would drop the idea for his sake and am quite sad that he won't do the same for me.
AIBU to stick to my guns on this one?

God no! 2 weeks with another family.

Say you're not opposed to the idea, but you'd like to try a shorter time first. I suspect they'll be annoying (as most people are after a few days) and the idea will be dropped next year.

Dear God no way ! There is nobody other than my immediate family that I would want to holiday with . The thought of having to fit in around what others wanted to do and sharing accommodation would drive me up the walls

We holiday every other year with friends we love dearly. Never anymore than 7 nights tho, and that’s in separate hotel rooms!
