[QUOTE="witzend, post: 505236, member: 99"] "Glass half empty" seems about right. It sounds as though he is depressed, and has chosen this trip as his justification for the depression. This is the trip to NOLA? I know it's an awful lot of money. So, it comes to how much is peace in the marriage worth? Do you go without him? (I probably would.) You might find friend who is nearby NOLA who would like to join you at the hotel and split hotel costs with you without having to find airfare there. I know you wouldn't want to cancel the trip (neither would I) but if you go without him and it causes more trouble to come along in the future, you may have to do it. You could either cancel and pay the cancellation fee or sell the room online to someone who wants it. Call the hotel in advance and tell them there is a work situation and you want to give your room to your daughter, can you just write a letter to for them to take to the hotel saying "This letter is to confirm that I made arrangements by phone on 2/4/12 with Susie the Manager that my daughter is using my resevervation number..." You get the full refund, or even make a profit on it. Cancel the airfare and take the $100 hit to keep the peace, and you have a year to rebook. Then again, maybe you're at the point that you don't give a rip what his problem is, and you do what makes you feel good. Hope it works out. You know that if I was anywhere nearby I'd join you and split the cost in a heartbeat and we could both leave our husbands at home! [/QUOTE]
