[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]So, my spouse just sprang it in me that she is going out of the country this summer with friends. [/b]We had already booked a place for a family vacation.

This is not a cheap trip she is talking about. I/we made no budget plans to account for this.

I don't want to be the controlling husband who blocks her fun. My gut reaction is to say fine, do what you want, but we have to cancel the family trip. We can't afford both.

If I choose the latter approach, I'll be the bad guy - again. Plus, it really would hurt the kids who look forward to vacation, too. I know I should be more gracious, but I feel like this is the height of selfishness on her part. I'm angry. I'm working hard not to respond out of anger.

Any good ideas on how I can handle this, how I can adjust my thinking?

(Why does this sound familiar?)

You have bigger problems that budgeting.  This is something that should have been talked about beforehand.  I suggest counseling.  [/quote]
