Ever regretted sharing your travel itinerary with family? I love sharing my plans with family, but it sometimes turns into endless calls about staying safe or suggestions I didn’t ask for. Lately, I'm considering just telling them where I’ll be but leaving out the details. Anyone else deal with this? How do you balance keeping them in the loop without stressing yourself out?

Yes, I feel ya. Have you considered selecting at least two family members that could understand & respect your boundaries? Maybe it could be a good idea to share the details with them.
Hope this helps & happy travels!

I mean, where are you going? Lol. Sharing hotel dates is good practice, but if you’re going to Spain it’s different than going to more dangerous or remote parts of the world.

Come on- spill what they complain about… you want to brag, we want in on it … stop the tease!

I don't tell anyone where I am going

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
