Fight with hubby over honeymoon :-(

lady_chicken2, 10 February, 2013 at 17:47 Posted on Planning 0 11

We've booked to go to Coconut Bay in St Lucia for a week for our honeymoon, i looked into the hotel quite a lot but hubby just wasnt interested.

Now ive found another hotel (St James Club - Morgan Bay) which i think might be better. So i suggested to hubby that we change it and he completely went mad saying just to cancel the whole honeymoon and lose the £300 deposit we;ve paid.

So we've had a big fight and now we're not talking :-(

Any advice ladies?

    Sorry to hear about the fight but I don't fully understand the issue. Why was he annoyed? Does he not like the place you have suggested changing it too? Do you lose money by changing it?

    Hope you sort things out

    There must be an underlying issue there surely? For him to go from not being interested at all to telling you to cancel the whole thing? Have you been arguing a lot recently? Is he stressed about the wedding/the cost of it? Does he often snap like this? Sorry you have fallen out, I hope you figure it out.

    Edit: red the original post wrong, thought you meant it would cost you £300 to change.

    Hes a very spur of the moment person! he says i didnt look into it enough and just booked the first one that came up which certainly is NOT the case.

    He just wants us to have the best first holiday as husband and wife which i understand.

    ive not cancelled yet, will cost us £300 to cancel or £100 to change it.

    Why do you think it's better out of interest?

    Is there any chance you could call the booking agent and talk with them about it and maybe not lose the deposit as its just a change of hotel?

    i know it's hard but this isn't a big enough deal to not talk to him. Leave him to cool off for a bit then take him a cuppa and leave it for the rest of the night.

    im sure you'll have a lovely time wherever you are in St Lucia and most hotels let you use their facilities even if you aren't staying there!

    chin up poppet :-)

    Isn't it traditionally the groom's job to have input or organise the honeymoon? Anyway, at the moment I wouldn't do anything, because you can't win. If you change, you're doing it without consulting him and he's already angry. If you don't change, he can ask you why you didn't f you found something better. Sit tight, and at s good time ask him what he would like to do. If he says he's happy with current arrangements, leave it at that. You will have a great time whatever. If he decides he wants something different, then you can reassess together.

    I just think the second choice is more erm ... mature looking. i dont care where we go as long as we are together it doesnt bother me at all!

    thanks for the advice, im just going to sit tight. we have until end of april to pay the final balance so have until then to decide.

    Don't worry about how it looks. OH and me are hotel hopping across the US to Hawaii and we aren't staying in the most luxurious places til the end cos the point is its a holiday of a life time with the man of your dreams!

    itll be fine either way. He is probably stressing about something else and taking it out on this issue anyway.

    men need space and women like to talk! Give him some time, it'll all be grand I promise!

    Maybe he had something special organised with the hotel?

    Here's how that conversation would have gone in my household:

    Me: You know that hotel I booked? I think I'd like to change it. It will cost £100.
    Boy: You're paying that then.
