Think we’re breaking up on holiday

In a panic and have found myself frantically googling what to do, then I thought maybe I should post on here…

for background… Myself and my husband separated around a year ago for a few months but got back together in January this year. No kids.

Things were going well but the last couple of months things have deteriorated - not like they were before but I haven’t been happy. I couldn’t work out what it was and now I’m thinking I’ve desperately tried to convince myself the relationship wasn’t the problem, I’ve had a stressful time at work and birth family issues. when maybe it was.

We’re on holiday and I’ve realised it’s completely over. We’ve been away for a few days now, I realise I shouldn’t we shouldn’t have come with hindsight. I don’t know what to do. I’ve got 10 days left of the trip. I want to just book a new hotel and be on my own but I’m worried about hurting him. I guess the sensible thing is to just act normal and wait til we get home? I’m upset and embarrassed and don’t want to hurt him but I’m worried if I don’t say anything I’ll just end up just snapping and coming out with it…

what would you do?! 😭

I think, think being the operative word, that I would bottle it and make the best of the remaining time.

Be kind and wait until you get home.
Easier said than done though. Tap into your inner maturity.

OP, my exH dumped me in the middle of a 3 week holiday. It was horrific. Please be kind and wait til you are home.

First poster has nailed it for me. Try to make the most of it and wait till you get home. Being dumped on holiday must be awful!

What I have done is suck it up and wait.

But I am not sure I would put myself through that again. Sympathy sex? Wishing the holiday away? In my case it was shorter - like 5 days in Europe. But god I was miserable.

I would try to go out as much as possible alone.
You're less likely to snap
