Damn whingey Couch Potato........

Just need to let off steam and see my petty grumblings in writing so feel free to ignore this! Have name changed for Halloween btw

Myself and DP are on second week of two week holiday. DP by his own admission is happiest being a couch potato whereas I like to get out and do things.

So far we have had one day out to go and see a castle which I had been keen to see for a while (he said he was happy to see it to btw) Fine, so I got everything organised, i.e packed lunches, charge camera, program sat nav, petrol etc. We get there and he spends the whole time pointing at things saying 'that's a bit crap' & it's not even a medieval castle like a bored bloomin teenager. On top of that for some weird reason he was really horrible to the staff there who had to check portions of our ticket at various points around the castle. No idea where that came from he's not normally like it.

To get to the point of my moan, this happens EVERY time we go anywhere and I find myself not wanting to organise anything for us again.

I didn't even want to take any pictures at the castle which is unusual for me but just felt so 'whats the point' by the end of it all Sad

I've made suggestions as to things I would like to do and he has a negative spin on all of them: Day out to London? No point as there's nothing to do there!!!?? WTF? Shall we have a Day Trip to Jersey, it's only £25 per person for the day? Too expensive.
Monkey World (never been) - no point, full of Monkeys (Duuuh!)

Etc etc etc. Now, I do love DP but this is really really getting to me now. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Of course, there's the option of doing things on my own but then he whinges and moans about being left behind. If we then go anywhere together he moans all day. It's vicious circle Angry

Thanks for letting me 'open the valve' and let off some steam Smile

Name change line was NOT supposed to be bold. It's not that interesting Grin

i'd make plans to go alone....have done this recently with teenage DD.....she soon changed her tune when she realised she may miss out on something.

cant really moan as much if they chose to come.....

You'd think so wouldn't you Tulip - doesn't matter a jot with my DP. He moans just as much as if I'd forced him to come with me. Meeh Sad
