[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm afraid DH will be really upset if I say we can't go, acquiesce, and then simmer with anger. The kids will pout. They're dying to see their cousins. Agh![/quote]

If you say no, the resentment will last for months and bubble up again every time you argue with DH. There will be years of fallout. You have to go, but make it more palatable for you. Get a tent and air mattress, bring lots of books, tell your DH that having your own space and activities will help you enjoy the trip as much as you know he's going to. It's not going to be fun, but something to make it through for the sake of your marriage. [/quote]

[b]That's right op. Pretend the pandemic isn't happening and you and your family infect yourselves and then affect the rest of us. Your idiot husband will resent you if you don't. Idiots.[/b][/quote]

RE: the bold: I agree with this PP. It's amazing how many responses here have zero acknowledgement that this insane toilet-free, overcrowded cabin trips is going to take place when there will still be a pandemic going on. The posters who think that OP should suck it up and go, and take the kids too, just to prevent "years of fallout" from a childish, resentful DH, are all as nuts as the DH and the BIL in this story. If the OP's husband is so very self-centered and ignorant of the wider world's problem and his role in it -- wow, OP has much bigger issues than fearing his resentment. OP has a man-child who hasn't read the news or "doesn't believe in science."

OP, you and the kids STAY HOME. Your DH [i]should[/i] stay home too. The pandemic actually gives you an ideal and very real reason to say no to every aspect of this, including any insane "compromise" to stay in some hotel nearby. Stay home, blame the virus and tell DH if he is going to resent you and the kids for not going, he can join you in couples counseling. [/quote]
