OMGoodness you guys...

Pull an Angela.....LOL!!! DH would wish I would pull an Angela more often! Angela doesn't come around as much as she should.:angel:

I am so there with you. But I am not sure I should use the word "Angela" in the bedroom. :) There should be only one female name mentioned in there. :) MINE:rotfl:

:rotfl: :rotfl:

I think i need a list of all the names we are using on SR to call "IT"

Heck, I wouldn't make up excuses. It's your own money, you have frequent flyer miles, and the only other expenses would be for the hotel, food and tickets. It's selfish of him to deprive you of this pleasure. I'd just tell him that this is something you feel strongly about and that you are going to do. However, I've been married for 35 years and feel comfortable with taking that position with my husband. It's worked before for me.........

Pat-I love you! You're so right! Will you call DH & tell him this?! The later in the day it gets the angrier I get!! I should just TELL him I'm going, period. Afterall, I would never tell him he can't go. Sure I'd be sad I wasn't going, but it's not my fault he doesn't have Disney freak friends like me!!

We've only been married 1/5 of the time you have & I don't feel comfortable taking that position w/him just yet w/o the consequences that resemble a toddler...just like Dee said!! I have, however, learned in the 7 years of marriage that sometimes you have to pick your battles & this one it just didn't seem like a battle I wanted to pick via phone today...

Oh I don't know...some DH's MAY be into another name!! You could be Angela & DH could be George (as in Clooney!! oooh la la!!)!! ha ha ha ha!

Thanks everyone for your advice & not your flames! I really appreciate all of you so much!!

Oh, Jen, I'd love to have a CHAT with him and put things into perspective. However, that kind of chat I have in mind calls for face to face, so my nonverbal communication could settle him into a "listening mood." Honestly, you've been married for 7 years - that's nothing to sneeze at- and you know him best and how to overcome his objections. And as you said, you need to pick your battles. It all depends how important this trip is to you whether it is worth fighting over. Good luck with whatever you do!

I'm sure if you just give him a little time, he will come around. My DH is like a spoiled toddler too when he doesn't get his own way or when I mention going to WDW without him.......it just takes a little while for him to get used to the idea and then he's fine.

I also spend that time reminding him about all the trips he's taken to places that I would've liked to have gone, all the "toys" he buys for himself, etc. Really I don't buy or do half as much stuff for myself as he does for himself, kwim??

I also bribed him with all the things I would be bringing back from WDW for him and promised not to go to Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom since those are "our" parks.

Whatever works!!!

The problem is that he doesn't go anywhere!! EVER! Past nor present...I can't use that one! He goes on one trip a year w/me...although this year he & my dad are planning a bike trip to CO & back...so that's why I thought...hmmm...if you're going to CO, I'll plan a trip too! But don't know if that will really happen...I mean, that means someone is going to have to actually plan something!!

Not my fault my dad doesn't want to take the bikes to Disney is it?

And he really doesn't buy himself toys! He has one toy..the bike & that's it. But I guess that's enough isn't it?? Hmmmm....

His birthday is a week after I'd be getting back so I could get him something EXTRA special while we're there!! :0)

Ok, after reading all of that I don't feel very sorry for you anymore!! DH sounds like a dream!! No toys (just the one), doesn't spend a bunch on things for himself, rarely takes trips with friends or alone..................Oh!! Now I remember! You guys don't have kids so may be he doesn't feel the need to get away as much as my DH does!!

Seriously Jen, I'm sure he will come around.

Now you're talking, Jen! Keep going.........with this line of thought, I see you on your Disney trip. WTG, girl!

I hope you're right!

But I know I've got it pretty good w/him...other than this toddler like "NO! MINE!" issue I have right now! He doesn't go out w/his friends much because they all have crazy hours, he doesn't NEED to watch sports, & he doesn't have toys...just the one.

I also have one of those wonderful husbands that rarely goes out with the guys and doesn't buy things for himself. I know I am blessed BUT that does not mean I shouldn't get to do these rare fun things, like go to WDW. So don't give up. He sounds like he loves you and usually that just means more time to get used to the idea of you going.
You could do the ol' "I will come back missing you more then ever and have a new appreciation for our love," blablabla.

[linanglab]

I really do hope he comes around for you.

My DH does not go out with friends EVER. He doesn't have many toys either - except his BIG TV that he just got and the Wii (which is really our boys....DH has intercepted it! ) He does take a trip with the boys to a Notre Dame game every year, plus, this year, he is taking the boys out of school for March Madness. They will be spending a couple nights in Columbus. But for the most part, my DH wants to be home with the family.

I like the idea of agreeing maybe not going to a certain park, or something. However, if he would say no MK, I think I would NOT be happy....

Keep us up to date!
