"But I have to pick up my brother from the airport that week. And my friend is having a graduation party for her summer training class." 😡😔

Let him pick up his brother, but let him know that it's been 6 months and that you'd appreciate his undivided attention for a short weekend.

OP, I'll visit you.

OP you have been gone for 6 months right? Did you both meet the last 6 months?

Don't get mad. It's only a present to your husband if it's something HE wants to do. Your husband has plans that weekend.

We did meet up every few months. And no, nothing is happening with the friend. But he did get mad at me last week because I'm "off traveling and seeing the world" and he wants to as well. Thought he'd be at least appreciative and not annoyed.

OP come on, you cannot expect him to warm up to you like before even you land, do some wooing, and then book a vacation away, maybe cook him a dinner, watch a movie on the sofa with him, more than anything he wants some attention, give it to him, don't make it about another stressful vacation.

My marriage is struggling and we have to pack up the kids and fake it till we make it with my in laws for most of their Christmas break.

Really don't want the in-laws finding out and trying to put their two cents in, and neither does she.
