[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP, I am on your husband's side on this.  I have travelled more than my husband, but we have taken a few great trips (Asia, various parts of Europe) together.  We now have 2 kids and do not have plans for international travel, but his obsessive worry about passports expiring and having passports drives me insane.  I am a busy person with work, stuff for the kids, etc. and this is just not my priority.  I will do it when I can. [/quote]

I get it why you'd be annoyed. Honestly, my husband and I are not that busy. We aren't looking high and low for 15 minutes where we can relax in peace. This really, truly isn't a time issue here - it's just that I care about this, and he does not.

And I think that PPs are right that I care about this partly because I would like us to be able to take trips, and partly because I just think that adults should have passports. You don't know what's going to happen. Being able to leave is important.

But luckily he just told me that he found his old passport, and is filling out the paperwork now.

Honestly, he and I both have our things where we care very much about it being one way or another. Over 7 years together, we have mostly learned to compromise, and give the other person what they need even if we don't see why they need it. Getting to that compromise can sometimes be frustrating.[/quote]
