[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I sympathize. I don’t have quite the same problem because at least my husband is willing to travel a few times a year but he Point blank *refuses* to take more than a week off at a time which precludes most types of interesting travel with time zone changes, like to Europe or Asia or Africa.

It drives me nuts because, as you say, no one is indispensable. He should be able to take 2 weeks off like other normal professionals. It’s his ego getting in the way.[/quote]

I’m going to agree with Dh on this one. People in finance do not take off 2 weeks at a time on the regular. My DH also works in finance, and he takes a week at Christmas, a week in the summer and a week at spring break. They have unlimited vacation? But there very likely might not be anyone who can cover for him, and if clients are calling, they don’t like that you are slacking off for two weeks.

I really think he needs to be ok with you taking vacation on your own. Maybe buy a beach house for you al to go to for the summer. [/quote]

PP here. Because of the Pandemic, we missed one of our planned vacations. So now we have airfare and hotel credit we need to use in 3021. We usually travel over Xmas break, Feb break, April break, a week in July, and one in August. Because of restrictions/location/school dates, the time that makes the most sense to reschedule our 2020 credit is in late June. He is now giving me a hard time because he doesn’t want to take a week off in June, one in July, and one in August. There all a month apart! I don’t see the big deal at all. We’re talking about eating 8k in credit here.[/quote]
