[QUOTE="witzend, post: 138296, member: 99"] Thanks, Jo I needed that. On Vacations, husband likes to eat. I can't handle all the extra weight. Daytimes, I like to sit at the pool or the beach. He sits in the room and reads. That's fine with me. Evenings he still wants to sit in the room, and do something else if you know what I mean. But after that 20 minutes, then what? And two weeks of that? Then I really would be chafed! We go to the same place every year, and he knows what's out there. There's cheap tours from the hotel every day. We've been on two of them in the past 15 years. I ask him to pick one, but he has not ever chosen an activity once in our marriage. He just won't. So this year I am picking an outing every other day while we are there. A big problem here is that he is a total cheapskate. We're going to Mexico where things are relatively cheap. I can't walk very far without tiring, so he always wants to go to the same two or three restaurants. He won't spend $5 on a taxi. I have to choose everything. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that never once in our marriage has he ever bought me a soda or a cup of coffee, let alone brought me a gift. Him choose a nice activity? Not going to happen. So, I choose everything and I mean everything. And he's not excited, because we're not spending 20 minutes in the room, if you know what I mean. [/QUOTE]
