    You guys...I need help...DH said no! It's "our" place!?! I want to cry. He said I could go for a girls weekend & then I said well Amy & I are of course thinking Disney & he said no, you can't go there. I asked him if he would be mad & he said yes.

    Now jealous I can understand (I'd be jealous too if he were going to Disney w/o me), but mad?! I need to convince him...there's really only his feelings that can stop me...I have my money to pay for it, it's not a money issue....oh I want to cry...

    HELP!! How can I convince him???

    I had the same problem with DH last year when I told him that was where we were going. Then I talked to him about how that was the best destination for us b/c it was safe, didn't have to worry about a rental car, etc. and it was a good choice for young women travelling alone. So I played on the "safety" strings of his heart.

    But I had an ace up my sleeve, I reminded him that he has gone to WDW at least 3 times by HIMSELF alone when he used to go down there for work. So I shouldn't have to feel guilty about it!

    I hope you guys can work it out. Maybe he could do a weekend there with friends/family/or even alone at some point too??

    Crying very loudly for a long time might help!
    I'm sure you can think of something!

    How about its a reseach trip for a special surpirse for you both when you go down? Step 2 is find something special to do when you go back!

    That sounds like so much fun! I've stayed at POP, love it, busses are great as others have said, the food court is actually pretty good, very large so it never seems over-crowded.

    As for the hubby...I'd play the safety card too. I mean, really would he rather you be hanging out in some swanky bar on an island around a bunch of buff guys or romping around w/ Pooh Bear?? But joking aside, I'd think it would be so much safer/easier/familiar.

    Good luck!

    Yeah...that tends to work on MOST things.

    Jen, I am hoping he lets you go. BELIEVE me I understand DH saying "No". But if my DH would let me go, there has to be a way for your DH to change his mind and say yes. Can maybe he come at the end of your trip for 1 day or so? Then it wouldn't be SOOO bad for him, or at the beginning?

    From experience....do NOT yell at him and get mad at him. That will only make things worse. Just state your side and tell him you REALLY want to go and the reasons why. I have found that being kind and calm works best with my DH. Of course I am not a yeller. More of a sulker.....Though, sulking only irritates DH. But I can't help it. However, I try to handle things rationally while I am DYING inside.

    Let us know how it goes....Crossing my fingers!

    Oh yes, I have this issue too! Sometimes I get so mad that I just leave his stuff in there to wrinkle all the more, just to teach him a lesson! Ha! I really know how to stick it to him don't I?!
