Has he any objection to you going away by yourself? Do you think he wants time away from you for some reason? I have been away on holiday without my OH on a few occasions, it was for perfectly valid reasons and he was not too bothered, it didn't cause any problems. It is sad but assuming there is no ulterior motive for his decision you will have to accept it and begin a new way of enjoying holidays.

Yes, it is sad. But as you said, you know the answer. Go away asap for a few days, not too far. And plan for a bigger trip soon. Good luck.

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?
