Tell that friend he can’t go, there’s no room for him… If he don’t like oh well not your problem… This is your vacation not his… Let your husband know honestly how you feel about his friend…

Ooooo your best friend danger !!!
Your husband is probably hoping you kick up enough so he goes away without you and just him and your best friend. Could be wrong but doesn’t look good even if you went watch the interactions.

What do you need help with?

Just tell him you will stay home and get on a plane somewhere with just you

1 husband didn’t talk to you about friend going

2 you can only handle said person in small doses…12+ hrs one way is more than a small dose

3 if you say you’re not going and husband demands it then you need to reevaluate that marriage because that’s not ok by any stretch of the imagination

Wow I would of flipped and said I am not going

You should offer to do the driving and stick him and his friend in the back seat all crammed up lol

Oh you have the every reason to be upset. I would be too.

Talk to your husband and explain yourself. Worst case, stay home.

Stay home go on your own trip. Simple as that. Not very nice of your husband !!

I flat ass out wouldn’t gon let them all go and enjoy the alone time back home!

I always read these and wish they had follow up on what the person did or didnt do

If I didn’t want to go, I wouldn’t go. Period. I wouldn’t want to go either at that point.

It’s his mom and sister, let him go get her, you stay home!!!

Tell him if the friend goes then you are staying home and enjoy your peace

Tell your husband no way it’s yer time away together and tell the friend to the same

You can go alone. Make your own trip

You sit in the front seat. Period.

Tell you husband what you just posted.

If you don’t want to go don’t go. He can’t force you.

I would straight up say u can’t come

Tell your husband no. Plain and simple. If he has a problem take seperate vacations.

Stand your ground…if you dont want to go then dont

Buy some airpods its gonna be a long trip in that back seat

Haven’t read any of the other responses but ur husband is being a controlling ass! You’re coming with me like he’s doing u a favor. Tell him to take his friend and you will stay home or even better go off by yourself on a mini vacation. Sounds like u might enjoy it better.

There will be blood.:neutral_face:

He can’t make you go. Screw him!

Umm no. The friend is stuck in the back of the car. You’re his wife. You sit in the front. Period.

Your husband doesn’t seem to care about your feelings. You may want to talk to him about that.

Sounds like your husband is a control freak🤷🏻‍♀️

I have so many questions :crazy_face:

Why tf are you in the back?

Let him go with his friend and you can stay home and get peace alone. That’s what I would do lol. Also his friend should sit in back…

Go or not go, your choice. If the car is to small and being cramped in the back seat with 2 other people for that long if a ride,zi wouldcstsy home. If your husband cant understand that, then he is a dick head

Why are you even giving him the option and you insinuated the friend wanting to go, which to me is giving your husband a signal that you want him to go, but truthful to that you can’t stand your best friend? Your giving mixed signals and letting it take over your original plans. You need to stand up and tell your husband and your friend how you feel instead of wondering what everyone else thinks before you make a decision, IF you ever do. Otherwise, your prediction will be that.

Stand up for yourself and be an adult.
If his response is “you’re coming with me” then yours should be “then ____ is not going.” Explain why, otherwise it does sound like being a baby. In a small car, with 5 people, for that long, and you’re supposed to be cool with not having been asked beforehand? Hard pass.

Tell that person it is a getaway for you and your husband and she is not welcome.

Tell your husband kinda hard to give road head with a third wheel

Tell him to have a great time, you are staying home and having alone time.

Oh. Hell. No. Let them go. You stay home alone😎

Tell him how u really feel and quit the whining.

You are right I would be mad to y’all needed to be by yourselfs sometime

May i ask why are you sitting in the back.

Am writing this article about the wondrous help that Priest Marere did for me, he helped me recently to bring back my Wife.This is really incredible, i have never experienced anything like this in my life. Before i met him, i have tried every thing possible i could to get my wife back, but i actually came to realize that nothing was working out for me that my wife had developed lot of hatred for me… I thought there was no hope to reunite with my wife. Until when i read good reviews about how Priest Marere help reunite broken marriages and relationships back together, and help others to get promoted in place of work, and pray for women who could not conceive… I contacted him… he prayed for me and did everything possible to reunite my home back together. that was exactly when my wife called me and return back to me… I’m so happy for the good work you did for me. We are more contented now than ever. Everything looks perfect and so natural! Here’s his helpline contact: marerespells@gmail. Com and whats app number +2348109805184

Fuck that… Look gurl if you can’t be in a car with someone for 24plus hrs then don’t go or tell that person outright…STAY YOUR ASS HERE BRO… IT’S A WIFEY/HUSBAND TRIP… and if both your man n his buddy say nope then stay home n fuck what they say… You a big girl now time to grab your panties n pull them up…

I wouldn’t go period

I would tell him yeah I’m going the friend isn’t

How long has he been fucking your friend?

Talk to him and your best friend, not us.

Fuck it… stay home… get your alone time, girl

I’d stay home !! End of story unless they want the company of a miserable bitch . Cuz the 2 riding in the back for sure won’t want to sit next to me and by the end of the trip wouldn’t like or want to know ne

I would definitely be pissed men don’t think shit through sometimes :person_facepalming:t4::person_facepalming:t4:i wouldn’t go

Tell your husband you are going to kindly UNINVITE the person he asked along on YOUR trip.
Then talk to that person he invited and explain to them that you hope they’ll understand, but you REALLY need “alone time” with your husband.

If this is your “best friend “ or your husband’s? I’m sure they’ll understand if you say I want time with my husband? As for your husband telling you “your coming with me “ a little controlling maybe? He can’t tell you what to do ! If your husband insists the friend comes along feign illness the day before the trip then when they’ve gone do what you want and please yourself

I wouldn’t go for your own sanity! Tell the husband he doesn’t get to make decisions for you. He don’t own you! You have a mind of your own. Take a trip of your own and put it on his credit card!

You should tell your husband how upset you are about it and also tell your friend that you were wanting it to just be you and your husband. If she’s a real friend she would totally understand

Not acting like a baby, and sometimes you have to be a bit selfish. Your feelings are valid. You were looking forward to an enjoyable trip and now it’s changed into something you’re not going to really be able to enjoy. Sounds to me like you need an enjoyable trip for self care reasons and that your husband just isn’t really understanding your perspective. Personal opinion, it seems like you’re doing right by trying to talk to your husband about it and he’s just being dismissive about your feelings on the topic and isn’t allowing you to actually have a say in the matter.

Go to the friend and tell them that your stressed out and want some alone time with your husband. Stress the “alone” in a sexy way.

Am I the only one who realizes that the husband invited the friend because they needed said friends help?? She said “ she’s grateful for said persons help” so maybe they couldn’t make the trip without said person :woman_shrugging:t3::woman_shrugging:t3:

Why would YOU be stuck in the back?!?!
What help is this person providing? Financial? In that case,ask the mom and sister to pitch in.

Your not being selfish at all…Your husband should have asked you first and respected your decision when you say ‘no, I want it to just be the two of us’, I’ve been with my man for 9 years and he still does things or buys things without asking me first, he doesn’t have to have permission from me of course it’s just nice when he includes me in his decision making, I wouldnt go purely on the fact that you would grow even more resentful of this other person and your husband!

If she’s your best friend, why is he the one to invite her along? You can be the boss too!Just give her a call and explain to her that you need one on one time with your husband on this trip and that she would understand. Now if she refuses, that would be rude so drop her like a hot potato!

plan a trip to take just for you and a friend for the same time as the one your husband is planning. no law that says you have to take the vacation together. might be good to go without each other.

Your husband needs to put you first.

Explain to him that it’s important to have boundaries in your marriage… One of those boundaries is that friends don’t need to be included in everything… This being one of those things… This is a 12 hour couple thing (trip down) and a 12 hours family thing(trip back) the friend can come over when you get back.

Or, if I were you, I would stay home

Dont go. Pretty simple. He’s your husband not your prison warden he cant make you do anything

Why are u the one stuck in the back seat??

Your husband is an ass for not consulting you prior to asking this person. Explain it to your friend. If she is your friend she will get it and not be upset. If your husband and your friend refuse don’t go. I would go on my own get away from both of them

Talk it out, tell him your upset, and what you were looking forward to. And you’d prefer the best friend not go on this trip.

Don’t go. If he wanted to spend alone time with you, he wouldn’t have asked the friend to go. If you do go, there is NO reason to have you in the backseat, YOU are his wife and that puts you first.

Sounds like you guys couldn’t afford to go without the help of the friend. Y’all should’ve just stayed home until y’all get it together. Oh and your husband is a jerk for ignoring your feelings

Tell him to sit in the back, maybe he won’t go

You should sit in the front

I’m just really confused as to why your husband would put you in the back. Mine only ever does that with his father. Other than that I feel like you sound a little selfish, but who am I to say you are. I don’t really deal with people and their drama, so perhaps you really do just need some time away, which isn’t selfish, but necessary. I do think if you don’t go, you’ll wish you had. Who knows, you may still really enjoy the trip.
