Holiday

[UserMl]

So for my 30th birthday in November my husband told me he was taking me away for the weekend to Italy. He said we’d be going in April. He hadn’t booked flights or the hotel so it was basically him telling me he was taking me away. I felt disappointed on such an important birthday not to get even a small bouquet of flowers. Anyway roll on to this week and he’s bringing up the trip again. He’s planning on going to help his father the weekend beforehand which means he’ll need to get time off work which means when it’s our turn to go away he can only get a day off . I don’t see the point in leaving on Friday night to Come back on Sunday !!!! Im resenting the fact he’s going to his dad s as it means we have less time to relax and enjoy the trip. Tbh I just don’t feel like going now, I feel it’ll just be a rushed trip. Thoughts anyone?

agree with you.

I'd be pissed off too, but I'd be telling him. Can you not go over the long Easter weekend, or do either of you have jobs that involve weekend/bank holiday work?

Yeah that’s a bit crap. I mean I don’t want to sound ungrateful but if I was told I was going to Italy I’d want more than a weekend in April.

Is it possible that he’s making it sound a bit underwhelming so you don’t want to go and he doesn’t have to bother? Either way, he needs to rethink it and book at a time he has a few days free, and so some research and book ahead, not just book whatever is available on the week he decides to book it.

Do some research

I have told him so many times there’s no point going for that amount of time but he’s not budging. His parents will be looking after the children while we go.

Hello. What!?

Why is 30 so important? I can't even remember my 30th. He's offered to take you away on an expensive break.

And hw helps his parents out. He sounds like a decent bloke.

Maybe say thank you!?

You sound like a sulky brat.

So was this for your birthday last November? And on your actual birthday you got nothing, just him saying I'm taking you to italy for the wekend in April (but hadn't actually booked it?)

I mean a weekend in italy sounds great, but now thats been changed from a weekend to 3 days because he has to help his dad? Can''t he help his dad across 2 weekends so he doesn't use his time off work for that, but instead uses it for your birthday treat he'd promsed you.

I get why you feeling a bit miffed about it all. He has basically prioritised helping his dad over the trip he promised you. Sounds a bit like he came up wit the trip idea because he hadn't bother to buy you anything for your birthday and has just now realised he has to actually follow through with it.

Unless his dad is in urgent need of this help, and he has literally no choice but to use his days off for that, I'd be demanding he takes youu for the full weekend as originally promised.
