To change our break away so short notice?

[riannabb]

Me and my boyfriend are off next week.
We have our main holiday booked in 12 weeks time to Gran Canaria which I'm really excited for and can't wait for sunshine but seeing everyone going away now has made me not want to wait.
So I mentioned last week to partner I wouldn't mind going away.
Obviously I'm looking at last min breaks etc and he comes home and tells me he has booked us 3 nights in Ireland.
Cue me being Mega disappointed
I don't want to look ungrateful but I'm disappointed
He has paid for the flights already but hotel is pay on arrival-he has Also booked us to go to the zoo
Would it be so bad if I went ahead and booked a last min holiday abroad instead?
And just took a loss of the £100 flights and £35 zoo that he's already paid for.
Like I say I don't want to seem ungrateful
We were abroad In April too but that was only 5 nights and November thankfully is a week but November is so far away.

Why are you disappointed? What do you have against Ireland?

Yabu unless there’s some real reason you can’t go to Ireland and don’t like it - you sound quite ungrateful really

Yabvu

Wow. This can't be for real lol

I've never been to Ireland -I just wanted a kind of sunshine /sunbathing break

Yes it would be incredibly rude and ungrateful.

Also, read the room. There's a COL crisis going on and you're complaining about your 3rd holiday of the year being in Ireland. Your holiday in April "only" being 5 nights. And your holiday later in the year being too far away.

Get a grip woman.

Just for you. Actual size:

Are you generally a spoilt brat?

Really? Something a bit different op. From someone who hasn’t had a holiday, even in the uk for quite some years just go and have fun better than sitting at home?
Its not like you don’t have another holiday to look forward to?!

Ireland is only fabulous but currently the sun is nowhere to be seen. I would see it as rude though if you changed his thoughtful break.

OP! No.

I wonder if this is more his kind of holiday and the two other holidays are more "you", i.e. sunbathing and sun? If that's the case I wouldn't say anything as fair enough that he gets one that's his style.

Where did you go in April?
Maybe he's not a huge fan of sun holidays and this is more his sort of thing?

I’d be disappointed too. I’d want to change it. Why did he book it without asking you? I’d be mad if my DP did that.

YABU, this break is booked and paid for and you are not the only one going, he clearly wants a city break. Sounds like you have other sunny breaks booked.

I’d kill to get over to Ireland at the moment, whereabouts are you going?

We went to Tenerife in April and there was a heatwave so we caught lucky

We are going to Belfast for two nights and then to Dublin

Jesus, you need a reality check. How lovely of your partner to book that for you and you just want to cancel! Wow.

Good grief! You are being so ungrateful! Besides which, I would much prefer 5 days in Ireland that a fortnight in Gran Canaria 😆

YANBU- maybas well change it to something you like, if possible, as otherwise it's a waste of time and (more) money. Plus if you want sun, book now as 12 weeks time in canaries is not guaranteed good weather.

Please, please don't do this. Yes, he maybe should have asked, but he was clearly trying to be proactive on this.

YABVVVU to think about cancelling it all and going somewhere else.

Next time, you both should be discussing what KIND of a holiday you would BOTH like before either of you books. But don't say that just now

Dublin is a great city, I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. Fantastic night life.

Never been to Belfast but it looks lovely

Sorry but you sound awful. YABU

It's threads like this that make me despair at how out of touch with reality some people can be.
