[quote=Anonymous]Well if you have a lot of respect in your relationship, then I would assume that these objections are reasonable to some extent. Or at least, that your spouse is able to gauge whether their feelings are reasonable. So for example, my spouse went through a mid-life crisis-y period where he spent about 75% of his vacation on guys' trips, and he complained about any couples or family trip that we planned and always tried to make them as short as possible. In that scenario he was the unreasonable one and I did start saying, um, I really expected to be in a marriage where my spouse wants to spend time with me and makes me a priority, and what is it saying to our kids if you will spend 10 days mountain biking but you can't bear to be at Disney World for 3? But after he got into therapy and became less entitled and more selfless, I was like, sure sure when he would want to take a guys' trip, because he was striking a reasonable balance on his own.[/quote]
