I'm finding myself a bit upset with my hubby, and I'm not quite sure if I should even bring it up to him much more, or if I'm over reacting.
We're both young, my hubby is 23, and still very immature. He is a hardcore video game player, and that is his only hobby.
Now, he told me about a month ago that he wanted to go to this big video game expo thing with his buddy, which I have no problem with.
The next thing I know, they decided they were going to stay in a hotel. Ok, I assumed that this expo was a one or two day thing, and they were staying overnight 1 night at a hotel. Last night when I got home from work Hubby tells me that he and his buddy booked the hotel in hubbys name. Then I find out, its actually 4 days long in Baltimore Maryland, and they booked a hotel that is $120 a night.
Im a bit upset about it. We struggle to have everything we have, and we have NEVER taken a vacation. The only thing we have ever done was go get a horse and had to stay in a hotel overnight, and I picked a $67 a night hotel. Other than that, for our "honeymoon" we stayed about 30 minutes from our home in a nice hotel for 2 nights, but it was a wedding gift, so didn't cost us anything.
Im upset because my 9 month old son and I are not going on this trip (Its not something that interests me in the least) and I would NEVER consider spending that much on a hotel, let alone for just myself and not my family. I feel he is spending the same amount on a trip for himself as what we would have spent for a nice small family vacation. In fact, we were going to go camping this summer and decided to nix the idea because of expenses, and we couldn't afford him being off work that long, because he is taking 5 days off after he has surgery in a few days. When I mentioned anything about it he said that the cheap hotel was further from the expo place than he wanted to stay (but still within both walking or shuttle distance) and that "He didn't complain when I bought the new horse trailer". Now, my justification was that I sold my old trailer last year to get money for a used car after he blew the motor up in my car, which is our only vehicle, and he has been the only one to drive it since I bought it a year ago.
Am I over reacting, or would you be irked too?
