Am I Being Unreasonable?

[Kelvin]

's what I said

Sorry. I've recently become an idiot.

[Replies From View]

Might as well get your money's worth now you're in trouble anyway; go on a massive bender in her absence and neglect to tidy away the evidence of debauchery.

Yes!

Buy some lipstick and smear it on the collars of all your shirts, and when she comes back make sure you have that song playing about it and all your shirts strewn everywhere like I dunno, a dog came in and chewed up all your parcelforce deliveries.

[Uncle TechTip]

Maybe such things shouldn't be discussed and decided over text. You seem to be unable to interpret her response - you need to see her face to grasp true emotions, also there will be the opportunity for you both to ask follow up questions.

[Twed]

I think that not wantings to go on this is, as the Mexicans say, "une fine".

[Buelligan]

Whatevs.  Clearly on a downward trajectory.  Nothing to be done now.

[Cuellar]

Whereabouts in Mexico?

Dunno, Mexico City perhaps.

[Cuellar]

Hang on, why am I asking you lot

[Kelvin]

Hang on, why am I asking you lot

Because the woman you love and aren't going to Mexico with isn't back from her job yet.

I want a partner to go to Mexico with in January. No fair.

[Paul Calf]

Is £600 really the cheapest you can get in January?

[Ferris]

Why not?!

Well obviously you'll have the opportunity, but this stuff gets harder and harder as you get older.

I wanted to go visit friends in NZ with Mrs Ferris, and we put it off and put it off for years until now baby on the way, got to move to a bigger place, will be an extra 50% more expensive because of the extra person and the travel will be more stressful and more of a hassle and now it looks like we'll realistically never go.

[Noonling]

Has nobody pointed out that she KNEW you'd say no, but now she gets to spend an extended amount of time in Mexico with her three Mexican Chads pumping her full of bodily fluids and you'll be none the wiser.

Obviously.

[Buelligan]

Yeah I did, didn't mention the three fellows, thought it'd be easier if I pretended it was just that one from the Christmas party last year.

He could probably bring something back for a friend and actually make a profit on the whole thing.  Maybe even get his partner to pretend she's pregnant and coin it.

Joke would be on her as I'd bloody love it

What if you can never make their spunk go away.

[Cuellar]

I'll keep at it!

fine cuisine

This is Mexico you're talking about, yeah?

Don't be using anything harmful like Dettol.  You are allowed only an old toothbrush and bars of soap.

[Replies From View]

Dunno, Mexico City perhaps.

Some parts of Mexico are closer than others, you know.

It is good, you racist.

All the Persil in the world.

[madhair60]

I don't understand why anyone would ever want to go to mexico.

El Sloppy Segundos would make a nice name for a mariachi band.

Went there for my honeymoon, so there.

[nedthemumbler]

She might not even be upset.  This is a lot of worry from one messaged 'OK' surely?

[Icehaven]

As others have suggested, it depends on how you said it? If you said "Cheers, that's a really nice idea, but I'm going to be a bit skint after Xmas and it's a long way to go for a few days. How about we save the money for a proper holiday where you don't have to work later in the year?" then that's not unreasonable at all, but if you literally just said "I don't really fancy it." then I can see why she'd be a bit put out.

Check out Richard Hammond over here.

[wooders1978]

Is her work picking up the accommodation etc?
I'd probably go mate, it'll take the pressure off having a "big" I.e more expensive holiday this year I assume (well we *did* to Mexico already love etc) also - go and enjoy your life ffs

[Lord Mandrake]

Mexico is the best country in the world and Mexico city is truly stunning. Xochimilco canals are a must if you do go. Id fuck christmass off in a heartbeat to go if I were you.

[gmoney]

Mexican wrestling is ace. Tell her you've changed your mind and you want to take her to see La Parka vs Blue Panther Jr. at Arena Mexico.

[manticore]

Are you really as casual about this as you are portraying it here? As others have said, if that's how it came across to your partner then I could see how she might not feel good about that.

People want to share experiences like this with people they love. I once really really didn't want to travel  to London with my girlfriend to visit the British Museum, and she said later that at one point she was looking at an exhibit that particularly enthused her and turned round to exclaim upon it to me, and remembered that I wasn't there. I've rarely felt so ashamed as when she said that.

Bit of an attempt at guilt-tripping there, sorry.
