Is this unrealistic?

So me and my ex have decided to try and see how things go before we officially get back together.
We were apart for a year and in that year I made plans/promises to my best friend about going away on holiday together.
Our past relationship was volatile and a lot of him being insecure and saying I was spending to much time with the girls etc.

I've told him about the holiday and he said ' it's my choice but I'm not ecstatic about it as it feels like nothing is going to change'
I explained I promised my friend ages ago and I've agreed that me and him can also go away somewhere together.

I'm struggling to understand the problem - am I being unreasonable?
I'm a big believer in still doing things for yourself even when you're in a relationship. I don't think anyone should have to feel like they can't go away every now and then with their friends. Part of the problem previously was that I felt suffocated and worried to tell him anything as he'd get funny about it.

It's like he wants me to stay at home with him all the time and not go away.

Should I stand by my guns and still go? Or am I being unreasonable?

Oh come on OP, reread your posts. They are your words, you wrote them. Do not under any circumstances get back together with this man. Just end it now completely.
