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?

If he doesn’t like spending money he’ll definitely hate Iceland! It’s so very expensive.

Make sure your friend files for divorce and the CMS straight away so that he’ll need to spend money on solicitors immediately on his return. If he’s left any belongings in the house she needs to pack them up ready for his return.

The grubby romance will lose its appeal when she has to wash his pants, look after your DCs regularly and he’s short of cash. Hopefully he’ll get dick rot too.

He cracked a tooth on an inidentified object in his in-flight dinner on the way there, which got infected and he had to pay outlandish money for healthcare as a foreigner. He was too tight to pay it for the first few days, just whinged and snivelled while his face blew up like a hamster with an overactive saliva gland and she got the ick from this quite quickly. She's been texting her ex the whole time and something bit him on the tip of his penis in one of the hot pool thingies, so that's all itchy and sore so he wouldn't have been able to have any sex, even if he hadn't given the new gf the ick.

He leant forward from the whale watching boat to take a photo of him and new victim and was swallowed whole.

Hah! It was more of a laziness. Also, the closer I get the more you see of my neighbouring houses, less sky

Her ex doesn’t really like swimming. He’s not big into hiking. He likes culture and good food. He doesn’t like spending lots of money.

Souds like either he only took her there because YOU wanted to go there and he thinks that choice of destination will impress (without realising it's not his cup of tea, it's a naff time of year to go, and it'll be cold over there too).

The good thing is that EVRYONE will know he's ditched your friend and gone off on holiday with OW, so EVERYONE will be sympathetic & support your friend and he'll be Billy-no-mates when he gets home

@User544

I actually have it on good authority assface is in the sjúkrahús cos Bjork bit him on the dick.

"He doesn't like spending money."

Well she's in for a whale of time isn't she. (Not). Can you honestly think of anything more boring than spending a Holiday with a skin flint.

New woman - they will most likely disgust each other with their bodily functions and bad habits. She will go right off him and be desperate to get home.

I went years ago. Every time we turned the hot water taps on in the hotel room we could smell sulphur. He will keep smelling it too. It will get worse and worse and he will come to associate that horrible eggy smell with her and get the ick. But she will be also get fed up at his tightness, a bottle of water will cost him an hours pay. Their meals will look nice but taste so bland that the food might as well be hollow. They may put on a good Insta show but their eyes in the pictures will be cold. They are both wondering when and how they should dump the other one on the massively delayed flight home.

my mum's been...

Especially in Iceland! Last time I was there it was about £6 for a cup of coffee, and that was four years ago so God knows how expensive it is now.

Descriptions like this will help your friend. A tight, tubby man who’s not keen on getting wet, makes him sound pretty pathetic.

It is absolutely the wrong time of year to go to Iceland. The best time is October to February it's magical then but he's gone at the wrong time I doubt they will see the northern lights! Previous posters are right the water does smell of sulphur I thought there was something wrong with the shower!! And it is very expensive and weirdly you can't buy alcohol in the supermarkets!! So if they want a bottle of wine in the appartment they have no chance. Thankfully someone tipped us off about this and we bought some before we left the airport. Hope things look up for your friend I bet she won't look back once she gets over the shock and she is lucky to have you as a friend xx

It couldn't be much closer to midsummer. It's 2 weeks to the equinox. We are very much in midnight sun time right now.

Iceland in June is often spectacular. It is green, bright and teeming with amazing bird life. I would always recommend June as a brilliant time to visit.

But OP, you are right, the weather has been unseasonably cold so far this summer. We had such a cold snap in May that many of the new spring foliage just bloody died and fell off. So there is that autumn smell and dead leaves on the ground in places, but it's June! It's definitely an unlucky summer and it sounds like it couldn't have happened to a nicer pair of tourists!

You can of course buy alcohol from the off-licences. But hopefully this guy will get a 6 pack of léttöl from Bónus without realising it's 2.5%

And he will buy AB mjólk thinking that it is milk and pour it into his coffee!

Obviously I mean solstice, not equinox

For your amusement, OP, I knocked up a comparison photo. Two pictures of my son at his school's summer festival, which takes place around this time each year. On the right see 2022: blue skies, lush foliage, boy wearing long sleeves but no outdoor clothing. This is typical for June in Iceland. On the left see 2023: grey skies, drizzling, trees looking very bare because it's been too cold, boy wearing jacket, hat, mittens (and he was chilly). They picked a really shit year for it!

He'll be bathing naked in a geothermal spa surrounded by snow. He'll have a break and get out then on getting back in will sit on the edge to submerge in the warmth and find he can't get back in as his ball sack is stuck on ice. She will think he's messing and pull him into the water leaving his balls and hair bound to the ice.😮

They both get upset tummies and spend the whole time fighting for the disgusting single toilet that has stopped flushing and the heating has broken down.

Meanwhile your friend is thankful this piece of shit (No pun intended)😂is out of her life and goes on to be stronger and happier.

My friend loved all of your comments and was feeling a bit better yesterday. Thank you!

It's very often foggy there. Like can't see 50m in front of you. So all those amazing views, you can't count on seeing them.

The food is not very good. Think whale and the like.

Hope your friend reaslises that life is better without him.

We are pleased to see that it’s raining in Reykjavik today! 😅😛

Hopefully two horrible people are having a horrible time.

Meanwhile your friend may have lost a man than wasn't worth having in the first place, and is now surrounded by good people that will support her through this.

She's the winner here, and she'll be okay.

It's been absolutely pissing it down all day. 👍
