Re: Cruise for the Misses

Looks like you want us to moderate an agreement so what I would suggest is to get your wife to read what is said here and give us her side of the story. Only then will we know enough of what's going on to make some sort of judgement, or be able to give valid advice. Chief ;)

Re: Cruise for the Misses

I found the following quote a few days ago and think it may apply. You have to decide.<br /><br />If you love someone, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.<br /><br /><br />My experience says you can't make someone love you. It's up to them. Then it's up to you.<br /><br />My experience is three marriages and I know I've figured it out this time, because the third time is the charm.

I don't know what to think as each relationship is unique unto itself. But it is rather presumptuous of her to think you will be taking care of her kids while she spends both of your cash on a trip on a cruise ship.<br /><br />The door must swing both ways. If you gave up your boat delivery (paying job perhaps) in respect to her wishes I find it interesting that she is so adement about this trip. <br /><br />Maybe this is some kind of college dream for her and her friend but there is no reason for her not to share the unique nature of this requirement. I don't know if this is a federal case but you are one conversation short of getting a full picture here.<br /><br />Schedule your own vacation for the same time. Maybe a week in Vegas with a couple of your single buddies would be in order. You are missing something here, it is probably minor, but a piece of the puzzle is missing.

Let her go. If you don't want to baby sit, tell her so she can make other arrangements. If you were a concern to her, she would have included you or dropped the trip. While she is gone, fix it so you don't lose your home if things go sour. Good luck.

Re: Cruise for the Misses

in the words of Dr Laure Slezzinger (sp??) the radio shrink, in a household a vote of no always carries. If she says youre not going fishing youre not. This part should go both ways. <br /><br />Being with 2 kids and you, I dont think she should go. If she had no kids and you were dating it would be different, it would be up to her. If this was a business trip, I could understand. But if my girlfriend wanted to stick HER two kids with me while she goes off to do god knows what with a bunch of other drunks on a boat, I'd be royally pissed.
