DH doesn't want to go on holiday anymore

I'm so down about this. We're mid to late 60s, have good pensions and plenty of time, good health and DH now says he doesn't want to go on holiday! I know the actual travelling makes him anxious so in the past I've done everything to alleviate it like arriving at the airport several hours in advance, organising all onward travel etc to make it go smoothly. He's also refusing to go away in this country for a weekend! I suppose I know the answer is to go away with him but it makes me feel so sad. At the moment there's no talking to him about it, he's just clamming up. If I raise the issue he says I'm bullying him. Any suggestions?

TBH the older I get, the less I can be bothered with all the faff and hassle of airports and planes. I have come to really dislike that whole aspect of travel. And yet when younger I’d go anywhere at the drop of a hat, and did once find the very fact of being in an airport exciting!

If we can drive anywhere, that’s different, but except for France, where his brother has a chateau, dh only ever really seems interested in trips that involve flying.

Just seen the date of this :September 2023.
Would be interesting to know what happened, if ChattyKathy ever did have any more holidays?
