It's once again that time of year: vacation season! As everyone knows, taking a vacation not only allows us to rejuvenate individually but also strengthens our bonds with one another.

When you work together to plan a vacation, you have the chance to look forward to something. When you plan ahead, you have something enjoyable to look into months in advance.

When a couple decides to make their annual vacation a tradition, they have something to look forward to—even in trying times. Couples might use vacations as a means of spending much-needed, unplanned time together.

Reducing stress and improving couples' experiences with each other can be achieved by taking a break from work and domestic responsibilities. Trying something new together with your significant other can strengthen your bond and help you make new, happy memories, whether you're skydiving or drifting down a river in a boat.

Additionally, it can assist you in revealing to your partner a side of yourself that you are typically unable to reveal when tackling day-to-day tasks. The OP of today's story goes on vacations with her husband, but he always finds a way to ruin it for her.

OP's husband argues that she's not being flexible with him, but the OP came there to sight see, and all her husband wants to do is be on his phone in bed. Read the entire story in the OP's own words as you scroll down below.

The OP writes

OP's husband has done this same stint towards the end of every single vacation they've had

You're husband is what I think of as a "joy-sucking man-baby".

They sulk and pout if they can't play their games whenever they want.

You deserve a grown up who wants to see the world and not spend their life in front of a screen just playing games.

This Redditor isn't saying their solution works for everyone

There is nothing wrong with traveling alone

The can go solo with a friend if she likes drinks

Is he really engaged with the planning and looking forward to them

Does he participate in the planning and was the actual ideas
