Everyone vacations a little differently. Some people love going to far off countries and exploring new cultures. Others much prefer to stay in their home country, finding local parks and lesser known spots. For some, just getting to be at home and not worry about work is vacation enough.
One woman loves her husband, but their ideas of the ideal vacation seriously clash. She recently decided to go on vacation without him, but this caused them to fight. Now, the entire family is involved.

Different Definitions of Traveling
Together For Almost A Decade
Both OP and her husband love to travel, but have different ideas of what that means. OP loves going to different countries, while her husband only wants to travel within the United States. They also move around a lot due to the husband’s job, which is fine by OP since she works remotely.
For the past several years, OP has felt that she hasn’t been able to enjoy a vacation. The husband always complains when they leave the country, and she doesn’t always enjoy taking domestic trips. So, OP decided to spend her upcoming vacation in France and planned it during a time when her husband was still working.
The husband was angry, stating that he would miss OP too much if she left for a few weeks. He even called his mom to complain, and she promptly called OP to berate her for the decision. The husband’s side of the family is against OP’s decision, which has OP wondering if she’s in the wrong.
Commenters Sided With OP
The comment section was pretty appalled by the fact that the husband resorted to calling his mom in an attempt to get her to solve his marital problems. He seems incredibly immature.
The fact that the mom got herself even more involved is pretty bad, too.
OP Deserves A Good Vacation
It’s clear that OP has done a lot of compromising for her husband’s sake, and commenters argued that she deserves to have a vacation that she can enjoy. Even if that means leaving her husband at home.
Weirded Out By Their Home Situation
Users pointed out how weird their living situation was. Namely, the fact that they move to a new state every few months for the husband’s work. It’s a lifestyle that definitely isn’t for everyone.
