“An expense-free vacation is hard to pass up. We could still have alone time and activities for just the two of us while still participating in family things,” he reasoned.
“It’s not as if honeymoons are all intimacy, all the time. There is also the option for us to have a honeymoon at the end of the year while I go on the trip myself.”
At the same token, he also doesn’t believe his fiancée has the right to assert priority over his relationships with his family and family friends.
“I do love her, but I just don’t agree with the assertion that all other relationships immediately fall to the wayside following marriage. I agree that we’re starting a new family, but that family is being integrated into already formed families,” he vented.
“Things don’t suddenly stop being important to me afterward.”
With his soon-to-be wife still very upset with him, though, he has been left wondering whether agreeing to go on a family vacation in place of his honeymoon was really the wrong thing to do.
Can you understand why he loves these free trips and wants to go this year? At the same time, was it right to agree to the trip without consulting his fiancée first? If the roles were reversed, do you think he would feel differently? How would you suggest he reconcile this situation?
