Even if you absolutely adore your family, it’s natural to want a break in order to get away with your partner. After all, it’s good for your romantic relationship – and sometimes, you just need to reconnect.

So, can you imagine if you were planning a romantic vacation with your significant other and your partner’s parents decided to crash the trip?

That’s the unfortunate situation this 32-year-old guy has recently found himself in.

He and his girlfriend, who is 30, will be celebrating their anniversary soon. That’s why they decided to plan a week-long getaway to a secluded cabin located in the mountains.

“We have been looking forward to this trip for months and had everything arranged for a private, relaxing time together,” he detailed.

Yet, just one week before they were supposed to leave, a massive wrench was thrown into their plans.

Out of nowhere, his girlfriend’s parents – who live out of state right now – called and asked if they could actually join their trip to the cabin.

Apparently, her parents claimed that their schedule was “free” and thought their romantic getaway would be the perfect opportunity to go on a family vacation.

The real kicker? His girlfriend wound up agreeing to let her parents crash their travels without even consulting him!

Now, her parents will be arriving at the cabin the same day as him and his girlfriend, and he couldn’t be more frustrated.

“I feel disappointed because the whole point of this trip was to have uninterrupted time together,” he explained.

He tried to open up about his concerns, too, and he proposed two suggestions to his girlfriend. More specifically, he said that they could either reschedule their trip altogether or find another place for just the two of them to spend time as a couple.

Well, his girlfriend wasn’t on board with that and got upset with him – accusing him of being selfish and inconsiderate of her family’s feelings.

“And I’m torn because I don’t want to cause conflict, but I also don’t want to spend our special trip with unexpected guests,” he vented.

This has since left him wondering if wanting to change their vacation plans is reasonable or if it really is a jerky request.

How would you feel in his shoes? Does it sound like his girlfriend is being inconsiderate of his feelings? What advice would you give him?
