Excluded from holiday planing

I think BlueBelle is right.
I have re-read the OP many times, and am still not even sure if the mention of the wedding anniversary has any relevance at all, beyond letting us know how long they have been married.
superqueen, please could you clarify: Is your complaint that your DH has been arranging your holidays like this for all those years, which I am quite sure many of us would agree is very unfair if you are not happy about that, or is it just a one-off situation this year related, in some way, to your anniversary?

janea we used to stay at the youth hostel at Once Brewed and walk along to the Twice Brewed for a restorative beverage after a day walking the wall. If we timed it right we could hitch a lift back to Newcastle with the university climbing club. Wonderful memories of weekends spent in beautiful countryside.

harrigran I used to love youth hostelling. Never made it up to Northumberland, but I was fascinated by the sound of Once Brewed .
We went all over the Lakes, the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales.

I don’t understand this use of “trophy person” either.
OP sounds pretty fed up, but who are we to judge as we haven’t been told what this holiday involves.
A week in a B and B in Bognor? (Apologies to the south coast)
A cruise down the Rhine?
A luxury villa on the Med?

It doesn't matter what the holiday involves, if the op is unhappy that she never gets a say.
If that is the case, superqueen, you really need to speak up. Insist on having a day in the holiday planning and/or don't go to whatever he's booked.
Do you feel your DH overlooks you and your wishes in other ways, or only over holidays?

I suppose if the land was fairly flat that would be OK janea!

insist on having a say*
(autocorrect changes that word for me every time! )

There was one day when we seemed to do more walking than cycling ????

Superqueen I hope it's something really wonderful, do let us know when you find out!

Please give us more information Superqueen. When is your anniversary? Have you not asked where you’re going if it’s getting closer? Do let us know.

That doesn"t arise in our house, as it is me who does the booking , after a bit of consultation.

Hello nonu! Where’ve you been? ?
