I didn't really know what to call this thread. We are in a holiday cottage on the east coast at the moment. Husband, myself and the dog. This is a bit of a rant really. If it wasn't for me we would never go on holiday. We would never do anything.
From a male perspective Yangste1007, and not wishing to provoke, we men will often leave it to the ladies in our lives, that way we know that whatever you choose to do you will be happy with.
Am I making excuses for laziness? Possibly, but I don't know you as a couple. If your husband is receptive to conversation get him to open up. Choose a convivial moment, after a meal, or curled up together with a glass of wine. Just say something like, "it would be nice if you told me what you want, where you want to go, then add, so that I could treat you.
Men go to extraordinary lengths for the quiet life, leaving it to you may be his way of saying, do whatever you want.
It could pay dividends. My wife asked me about our social life outside of our ballroom dancing. When I told her that I still had that boyhood love of steam trains she said, "well let's do it." Now I can say that we have been on so many, even The Orient Express, we have even been hauled by the famous Flying Scotsman, and she has loved every minute of it. So just try and coax him a little, you never know, you might wind at a tasting session at a Scottish distillery.
