AIBU to think this cheater is having a rubbish holiday?

[User544]

Name changed to protect my best friend’s identity. Posting on her behalf.

Her boyfriend dumped her for another woman and within days they were going on holiday together, leaving my friend high and dry with her kids.

They have gone to Iceland, a place my friend always wanted to go. She is hoping they’re having a terrible time. She doesn’t want him back but she’s angry and hurt.

We have checked the weather and it’s cloudy.

Can you help convince my friend that they’re probably not enjoying it?! We all know they might be really but she needs cheering up. I hear it’s expensive!!

AIBU to think Iceland in the cloudy weather isn’t the romantic dream that my friend thought?

Iceland is a beautiful country. When your friend gets to go she’ll have an amazing time. Assuming she goes at the right time, which her ex hasn’t done.

June is a shit time to go. It’s not a warm country, unsurprisingly, so it’ll be a worse version of weather here. The advantage of the blue lagoon is to go when it’s cold so it’s the wrong time for that. It’s the wrong time to see the Northern Lights. It’s expensive. The alcohol there is… unique, it’ll put hairs on the other woman’s chest!

London weather is lush ATM. In the 20's. Iceland be shit

Tell her that Iceland is incredibly expensive, booze overpriced and food disgusting. They'll be miserable. Instead of lovely local cuisine, they'll just be chomping on raw fish without a decent glass of wine to go with it. There's overpriced tat for shopping in soulless malls and that's all the entertainment there is apart from looking at homes in the ground filled with hot water. Everything has to be imported except for volcanoes and icy weather. Not even lots of fabulous ice (go to Greenland for that).

Don't tell her it's a romantic wonderland with heated pools and awe inspiring landscapes and lovely people.

I have a good friend who's been there and both the above views come from what she's told me. Though she loved it, her report didn't make me want to go as I do like good wine, art and sunshine ☀️

It’s an awful thing to do to someone.
Ive been there, the first part is really hard.
The anger and humiliation felt like it might choke me at times.
My ex married the woman he cheated with, she was cheating on her long term partner also.
I used to think it wouldn’t last, now I hardly think of them at all and when I do I’m glad they’re still together because other innocent honest people don’t deserve to get done over by either of them ever again.
They deserve each other and your friend will realise it was for the best eventually.
Obviously she won’t be thinking of meeting anyone else, I didn’t for a long time, now I’m with someone lovely, I think taking all the time I needed to heal really helped me to be in a good place to meet someone good.

That made me snort 😆😂

Someone lost continence next to them in the blue lagoon

they used a very generic black suitcase and ended up picking up the wrong one, the case they had actually belonged to a Colgate rep, and all they have now is the clothes on their backs and a Burt load of mouthwash.

they thought they were asking to cook in their hotel complex (kokkur) they actually asked for kuk (which means poo)

he found out she’s actually god a full set of dentures, and she dropped them down the toilet and they’re gone forever

thdy went to a really cute bar with patio heaters outside and complimentary blankets but they caught scabies and their Icelandic is so shit they can’t ask for help

And he’s got explosive diarrhoea from a dodgy prawn 🤣

They've just paid €80 for two plates of pasta and can't afford a bus back to the hotel so are walking.

They went to that beach with the black sand, ignored the signs and a huge sneaker wave took them down.

If you don't know what I'm on about search it on YouTube.

She needs to play the long game.

A few months after I filed for divorce, my ex-H took OW to one of the more exclusive (and expensive) Caribbean islands. this was one of a series of extravagant outings while he was trying to maintain an image to her. Meanwhile the solicitors fees were rolling in for both of us, and I was just about making ends meet. He ultimately got himself into such a poor financial position paying for all these jollies that he had to settle for the offer I put on the table.

tell your friend her stbxbf will pay for that holiday several times over.

A daft woman has gone on holiday with a cheater who ditched his kids and whose willy has probably shrunk in the cold. Can you really imagine anything more romantic than being stuck on an island with an icky man with a frozen todger.

She's got PMT and is grumpy and constantly needing a wee. She's only brought uncomfortable pants with her and is currently crying over kitten pictures.

He's realised that he is in fact a twat, and is currently trying to get past the hotel firewall to look at pornhub. Unfortunately it isn't working so he's had to watch videos of the Iceland ring road 1,548 times.

They’ve been attacked by puffins and forced to listen to Bjork on repeat.

All their trips will be cancelled

They will only be able to go to the penis museum instead. Where every single penis in there will put him to shame

Willies shrivel in the cold and even his bollocks probably look like wizened little walnuts right now. A horrid little turkey neck with two little walnuts. Hopefully that will last for the entire stay, the bastard

They got shat on by a puffin, were sea sick on a whale watching trip where no whales show up, bankrupted buying one pint, force-fed hakarl (fermented shark) and the elves pissed on them in the blue lagoon. They had such a horrible time they wanted to come home early but that volcano did it’s thing again and now they live in the airport subsisting on skyr and bitter salty tears. She’s now decided to cop off with handsome Jokull from Vik so he’s all alone questioning his life choices.

😂sure Iceland is meant to have rubbish weather

They can’t get any proper sleep. Someone told them they’ll be able to see the midnight sun but they’ll have to leave before it’s at its best.

i hope they do go to the blue lagoon, what a let down that place was. Just a big man made sulphur pond with the run off from a nearby power plant. After that they’ll go Icelandic horse riding where it’s nose to tail walking through a bleak boring landscape and one of them gets their foot squashed by a horse and the other trips and falls into a pile of horse poo. And they’ll have paid an extortionate amount for the privilege

Iceland is my favourite place on the planet. Sorry.

Maybe he'll fall down a glacier or steam vent? Or be trampled by lovely ponies.

I hated Iceland...prices are extortionate, food is absolutely rubbish. It was a total white-out when we went so we literally could not see any of the sights from our tour coach and when we got out to look around there was horizontal rain and snow. Really difficult to get around anywhere without it costing an arm and a leg.

Omg can we alert MN this definitely has to go to classics, I'm laughing so hard I woke my teen up in the next room, @BanditsOnTheHorizon that's the funniest reply I've read in a long time!!

Personally our family love Iceland any time. Beautiful country well worth all the visits we've done.

You have to get a fully nude shower before going into any of the pools. Obviously all the attractive and hairy men of Iceland will laugh at him. And then tell the attendant he didn't wash his bum well enough so they'll send him back to do it again.

He'll lose his bank card just before happy hour starts so instead of getting 2 drinks for £40 he gets none. He finds his bank card as it ends and then has to pay full price for one drink. It is warm beer.

My 6 week old is asleep on my chest and bouncing around because this thread is so funny I can't stop laughing 🤣

I’ve been a few times to Iceland and it is beautiful and so is it’s islands BUT in your friends case the other woman is probably sick of him by now and has probably been tempted to throw him in the gyser , feed him to the whales, horrified after seeing him in his budgie smugglers or if she’s lucky he might have been blown into the sea if they visited the black beach!
