He’s Finally Able To Go On His Dream Cruise Alone, But His Girlfriend Thinks He’s Being Selfish And Prioritizing Himself
This man from the UK has always dreamed of going on a cruise but never had the opportunity in the past.
“The idea of just being at sea and of visiting a few places on holiday just really appeals to me,” he said.
However, he’s currently in a relationship, and his girlfriend just doesn’t share the same interest in cruises. In fact, she flat-out told him that she’d never go on one because she hated the idea of being stuck on a boat for days.
More recently, though, he realized he finally had a chance to fulfill his dream and go on a cruise of his own.
For some context, he is currently studying in a program through his job, and his exams will end next year. Once he completes them, he will also earn a promotion at work.
So, he decided that would be the perfect time to treat himself to a cruise and began looking at trip options for next year.
But, when he mentioned his plans to his girlfriend, she became upset and asked what would happen to their vacation together next summer.
He detailed how he was planning to take his cruise in either the spring or the summer. Then, they could plan their trip together for either the summer or early fall. He also claimed he’d be happy to switch the order of the trips, depending on what his girlfriend wanted.
Still, that explanation didn’t satisfy her, and she kept asking questions – more specifically, whether or not they’d be traveling together once or twice next year.

“And I said it would just likely be once for three to four nights as I would not be able to afford three holidays abroad,” he recalled.
Well, she didn’t take that answer well and actually accused him of prioritizing himself over their relationship by planning his dream cruise. In his girlfriend’s mind, his cruise will be taking time away from their vacation together since they wouldn’t be able to go away for a full week.
He reiterated how his girlfriend was more than welcome to join him on the cruise. That way, they’d get to spend more vacation time together. Nonetheless, she just refused and told him he shouldn’t be going away on a vacation by himself.
“I mentioned that she is free to go away on her own or with friends if she wants another holiday, but there is nothing wrong with me treating myself,” he vented.
Still, his girlfriend just called him selfish and believes he’s being inconsiderate.
So now, he’s not sure if planning a solo cruise really does make him a jerk.
Is it his fault that his girlfriend doesn’t want to join him on the cruise? Is he in the wrong for wanting to go on this trip? What should he do?
