Her Husband’s Insisting They Bring His Friend On Their Anniversary Trip, But She Wants It To Be A Romantic Getaway For Just The Two Of Them
Picture this: you and your husband are getting ready to take a much-needed vacation for your anniversary. It’s supposed to be a sweet, relaxing, and memorable time, but before you leave, your husband tells you he wants to bring his buddy along.
This is what happened to one woman who is unsure what to do after her husband freaked out because she told him she didn’t want him to bring his friend on their anniversary trip.
She and her husband, Mark, are in their 30s and have been married for almost eight years. They have two kids together, ages 3 and 5.
She and Mark have had a generally happy marriage, but recently, something happened that caused a lot of tension.
For their upcoming eighth anniversary, she and Mark planned a cozy, cute cabin vacation for just the two of them.
“We’ve been looking forward to this trip for months as a way to reconnect and spend quality time together without the kids,” she explained.
“Our relationship has had its ups and downs, and we both agreed that this trip would be a great way to rekindle our bond.”
However, her vacation plans were turned upside down a few days ago when Mark told her he wanted to bring his 34-year-old best friend, Dave, on vacation with them. He told her Dave was going through a hard time after breaking up with his girlfriend and that their cabin vacation would cheer him up.
She was very taken aback and knew she had to tell Mark how she felt immediately.

“I explained to Mark that this trip was meant to be a romantic getaway for just the two of us, and having Dave along would change the entire dynamic,” she recalled.
“I feel for Dave and want to support him, but I don’t think our anniversary trip is the right time or place for that.”
Instead of agreeing with her, Mark freaked out. He began yelling at her, calling her names, and accusing her of being unempathetic.
He told her they’d still have some romantic alone time and would only have to include Dave in a few activities during their trip. Unfortunately, when she tried expressing her discomfort with that idea again, Mark became angrier.
“When I stood my ground, Mark’s frustration escalated. He raised his voice and called me names, something he sometimes does when he’s angry,” she said.
“It’s one of the things I’ve learned to live with over the years, even though it makes me feel small and upset.”
She tried suggesting they take a different trip with Dave or spend extra time with him when they return so their anniversary trip remained sacred, but Mark didn’t like those ideas. He’s still insisting that Dave be able to join them on their anniversary trip.
Now, she’s unsure what to do, as she doesn’t want to make Mark angrier than he is, but she also doesn’t want Dave on her special trip.
What should she do in order to keep the peace and get the trip she wants?
