DH and I had been talking about taking a short trip to the beach at the end of the summer, the week after labor day, which is one of his few Saturdays off. That coincided with when my parents and I go to Virginia Beach together most years, but obviously DH's work schedule is more of a priority. His company is in a bit of upheaval, so he's been working a bunch of extra days lately and him having off can't be counted on.
So on Friday my mom texted me asking if I wanted to go to VA Aug 27-31 and had to know right away because my dad was booking it right then. I said sure, because that wasn't when DH and I were planning to go away, so that would work out perfectly if he could get the time from his job after all.
DH is apparently in disbelief that I will still go away for 5 days with my parents now that we're married. My parents didn't go last year because they had to fly to CA for a memorial service for my dad's sister, but I'm pretty sure I went without him the first year we were together.
Is this totally weird? I can see if I was going on some big vacation with friends and using "our" money to do it, how that would be more bothersome, but I just stay in my parents' room and it's not a big deal. I may still go with friends if it came up, but I can see where that would warrant more discussion.
Do you think I'm being unreasonable? Do you go on vacation without your SO?
I don't know, I just feel really weird thinking that I should have asked him, even though this is a long standing tradition, just because we're married now...
BTW, he has no interest in going because he doesn't want to hang out with my parents. Oh, I also booked our beach trip today for Sept 9.
