Venting. To make a very long, complicated story short: we had to take my husbands 13yr old on our honeymoon due to issues with bio mom. But that’s another story. Now - I love my stepson to pieces.

Venting.

To make a very long, complicated story short: we had to take my husbands 13yr old on our honeymoon due to issues with bio mom. But that’s another story.
Now - I love my stepson to pieces. And we travel often, I love taking him on trips and spending time together. That said, my honeymoon is not the place. But I had no say in the matter. Husband was not thrilled either but didn’t really find any better solutions.
Anyway - we spent a week in a breathtaking location but got absolutely no time together, didn’t do 1 romantic thing, and spent most of the week trying to please a 13yr old who would rather be anywhere else. Everyone was grouchy and irritated. Husband kept initiating kids activities for him and refused to even look into alternative solutions to create alone time for us.
I spent months and months planning this wedding, put in countless hours of time and money I’ll never get back, and I DESERVE a relaxing honeymoon with my new husband! I know this sounds ungrateful and I’m lucky to be on a trip of any kind, but man am I disappointed.
Husband is irritated saying I should just suck it up and be happy with what we’re doing. Thinks maybe we’ll try to get a couple days alone at home over Christmas.
I am livid that I used my previous vacation time for THIS.

    It sounds like the honeymoon situation wasn't ideal with your stepson there. While caring for family is important, your husband should understand your disappointment in not getting proper alone time after the wedding. A caring compromise between responsibilities and each other's needs is best. Hopefully you two can find a way to share some quality time together soon to reconnect as a newly married couple. The wedding planning you put in shows your commitment, so don't lose hope - with open communication I'm sure you'll work through this challenging period.
