[quote=Anonymous]When the BF said two weeks ago that the groupon looked good but he was worried about finances that was the time to understand what, if any, was an acceptable amount to spend on a getaway. If getting away is that important to you, the conversation could have been had about what things could be cut back to afford this trip.  If you had an anniversary coming up, you could say this is how you would like to celebrate and in lieu of any gifts. I'm making the assumption that BF is correct that you have lots of bills and it isn't the case of different perceptions where you more than have enough money and a person is miserly about spending any.

Sighing loudly/wistfully complaining after it is too late to do anything about it is passive aggressive.  I agree with others that in general, that most men don't plan the family vacations.  There are exceptions.  Expecting someone to plan a vacation when they don't typically plan the vacation and think you guys can't afford that vacation seems like you are setting yourself up for dissapoinment.  Bottom line is you both need to agree about budget and agree what you can afford to spend to get away.  If it is only a day trip to the beach either you make the best of that or you start finding the luxuries in your budget to pay for a more expensive outing.[/quote]
