[quote=Anonymous]As usually, it depends on the sort of person you married: whether they're observant, learn from their mistakes, and also whether they're hypersensitive to criticism and might start a fight.

The only way my husband has learned from his mistakes is by COPIOUS amounts of "I Told You So". Not said nastily out of resentment, but pragmatically. I will point out firmly, for future planning (tomorrow, or the next trip), that he should notice and learn from his choices.

In my husband's case it isn't trying to do too much, but cheaping out and making our life difficult. For example, getting a non-direct flight to Europe and expecting us to hit the ground running, when actually we're all exhausted and either cancel the first day's activities or can barely enjoy whatever it is we planned. Or refusing the nice rental I found and getting us something much cheaper that ends up having no hot shower water, with a grimy kitchen and a broken clothes washer.

If I don't point out these things, he's just going to continue, because he could sleep on the floor, sleep through an activity and drag his crying kids through such a vacation if it cost him less money - even though we can afford much better! So I need to get through to him FIRMLY.
