She Just Found Out Her Husband Booked A $10,000 Vacation Without Telling Her, And She’s Considering Canceling It
This 38-year-old woman’s husband, who is 39, booked a beach vacation worth $10,000 back in 2020. But the real kicker was that her husband made all the arrangements without ever telling her!
Apparently, the trip is just a 3-night stay in a “bungalow over the water” at a Sandals resort located in Jamaica. And they are supposed to head there this September.
Upon making the reservation, however, her husband had to put down a hefty deposit of $2,500. Unfortunately, it was also non-refundable.
Anyway, her husband waited until the last possible minute to tell her about this vacation and only filled her in on the plans this past week.
Rather than being excited, though, she is seriously concerned for their finances.
“If we end up going, we are going to need to throw even more money at the trip and book airfare and get passports,” she said.
Yet, her husband keeps trying to pitch the whole vacation as a “once-in-a-lifetime experience.” He claimed that he booked the trip to celebrate both their 20th wedding anniversary and his 40th birthday.
But quite frankly, she feels like the entire idea is just all about her husband.
She is not even a huge fan of traveling. In fact, instead of making her more relaxed, vacations just cause her a bunch of anxiety.

On top of that, her most hated travel destination is actually the beach– something about herself that her husband very well knew.
“This is a vacation he wants to take more than anything, not me,” she revealed.
And whenever she considers the amount of money they would be spending on such a short vacation, it just makes her nauseous.
What’s even worse is that the destination is a place she would have never wanted to go to.
That’s why, in her mind, the whole trip is simply a waste of money.
“And I keep thinking about how much better off we’d be putting that money anywhere else,” she added.
After she expressed her perspective to her husband, he did say that they could cancel the trip if she really wanted to. However, they would obviously lose the deposit– which is a large chunk of change by itself.
Throughout all of their conversations regarding the vacation, her husband has also been killing her with some “puppy dog eyes” and making it seem like she would be crushing his dreams if she decided to cancel it.
So, she has confided in some friends and family members about the situation. But they actually told her that she should just feel happy her husband planned the vacation.
Obviously, though, she is actually just disappointed and upset with her husband.
“He made a huge decision without consulting me or considering my preferences,” she vented. “I feel manipulated to say we’ll go. I feel like I’m in between a rock and a hard place.”
So now, she’s been left wondering whether she should go with her gut and cancel the trip or just pretend she is happy about the vacation and go anyway.
How would you feel if your partner booked a $10,000 vacation without consulting you? Can you believe he waited years to tell her about this trip? Do you think it wouldn’t have been so bad if her husband had at least considered her preferences also? If you were in her shoes, would you cancel the trip, or would you go?
