Dp and I have been talking recently about going on holiday later this year, it's been tricky trying to decide when & where - due to the nature of both of our industries summer is a very busy time so it has to be after that.
We finally decided on when and what we were going to do and started planning a trip I've always wanted to do. Nothing fancy or expensive (just camping) but we worked out a schedule and started planning dates, campsites etc. I was getting really excited about it and finally put in my holiday request after much to-ing and fro-ing with Dp as the dates we had initially planned were already taken by his colleagues.
Now he's told me that we can't go as his parents are away and we'll have no one to look after DDog. Due to the nature of our planned trip we can't take DDog with us so this has meant the trip can't go ahead. There are no other dates available to go instead.
I'm really pissed off. Really upset and disappointed. I know it isn't his fault but surely he should have checked the dates his parents were available before suggesting it to me? Otherwise what was the point of all of this? He's now saying we should keep the time off but just not go away anywhere but this pisses me off even more. Yes, we'll still get the time off together but I don't want to spend 2 weeks of my precious holiday time sitting at home in the same place I am all the other days of the year. For various reasons we did basically this same thing last year and it felt like such a waste. We did a few little days out walking but didn't really go more than 20 miles from home.
Life isn't exactly thrilling right now, I need something to look forward to. This holiday was it and now it's gone.
I know it isn't his fault and complaining about it won't change anything but I'm struggling to not let it show. Aibu to let him know how upset I am or should I just let it go and try to make the best of it?
