    I could understand that, but she is paying for everything, he still lives at home.

    That's a good plan, but then I'd have to pay for everything

    It's not just me is it, it is a bit odd isn't it?

    more than odd to me. Especially if it wasnt discussed, just told. Not for me personally that attitude. If my wife had asked me if it was ok, then I would have said it was but would be pissed if she had just announced it.

    Yep, that's what happened, same thing last year, 10 days in New York, it's Canada this year. I didn't even get the chance to stick the cost of me going with them on my card.

    I do have to add that we don't actually live together, I spend every Fri-Mon there as well as any time off I get, for all intents and purposes we have the dynamic of a married couple. we are together more than not I would say.

    Many couples do take separate hols, and if she is used to it then maybe why. If she would not discuss it though then I guess she doesnt rate you as important as you do her, assuming you wouldnt do likewise.
    One thing is for sure, its pointless trying to force the issue.

    You are spot on about not forcing it, all I could do was tell her how I felt, then be the bigger person and say have a great trip to clear the air, it was a discussion I was never going to come out of well.
