[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay so I wouldn't dump him, but I would be cautious. He's allowed to have feelings, right? And he's allowed to express them. I would be jealous if my dh went on an amazing two week trip and then didn't have time to vacation with me.

My now DH went on 3 international trips with friends (two for weddings, one just planned to visit a friend stationed in Italy) in the first year we were dating.  I was jealous of some of them!  But I was also aware that he was an adult person with friends of his own and things planned before we met.  OP got a crazy, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something her BF is not even particularly interested in, with her family member.  His jealousy doesn't make much sense to me outside of wanting to use PTO together, and he could have brought that up without implying she was wrong for not trying to get him an invitation to this trip.

There's a way to be sad about this trip that makes some sense, but the way he's sad about it feels controlling and strange.  He doesn't actually want to go to Japan, but also she should have insisted to her sister that they replan the trip to bring him to Japan?  Whuh?[/quote]
