"You shouldn't have to convince your husband to follow through on your dream vacation. He should have consulted you before inviting your son and telling him he will be included in everything. You wrote that you scrimped and saved for years to afford this vacation. How does he intend to pay for all those extra expenses for a third person?"
"My husband and I married 20 years ago. We have a blended family of eight kids, but it's just us now. Our kids are scattered across the country. Over all these 20 years, we have never taken a vacation just for us. We have always visited family. Now, after scrimping, saving and planning, our dream trip is finally happening. We are visiting Disneyland! Problem is, our youngest just relocated to L.A. I bought tickets, scheduled tours and reserved meals for just the two of us."
A couple married 20 years planned a long-awaited, saved-for Disneyland vacation intended to be child-free. The husband invited their youngest who recently relocated nearby and included him in all park visits and meals, despite the wife's wish for only one shared dinner. The wife questions who will cover the extra costs for a third person and feels the trip should remain focused on the couple. If the husband refuses to honor the original plan, the wife is advised to consider taking a separate trip just for herself. Separately, a widow who lost her husband shortly after an illness met a man two years younger who wants to move in as a roommate and sleep upstairs while she sleeps downstairs; she feels unsure about accepting that arrangement.
