Am I out of line for refusing to go on a vacation with my wife?

To answer the initial question, the person out of line is the one unwilling to find compromises that work for both parties. There were lots of suggestions of possible comprises. I think there are ways that you both can have the things that make vacations fun and enjoyable, but it may not be 100% of the time.
My DH is a morning person and I am a night owl. We’ve made it work on vacations and for us the compromise has been that I get up a little earlier than I might want to on vacation but later than he would get started on his own. We also will alternate so if one day we had to get up and out early for a tour etc, the next morning I sleep in and we have no place we have to be. He doesn’t mind walking around on his own. Fortunately we both like the same type of vacations - we aren’t huge beach people and like sightseeing in cities. That makes things easier since we can agree on a place and I am motivated to see certain sites that would require us to be out the door by maybe 8 or 9am and am driving the logistics for those earlier endeavors. |
