Can't agree on honeymoon. It caused a fight

What about going west? Would you be interested in something like glamping in the Grand Canyon? Maybe exploring Denver?

Ask him why he wants to go to Corpus Texas- seriously- there is nothing special about it. But ask him why he wants to go there and find out- something seems off if someone gives that much push back about Florida and offers a fucking city up like Corpus. Seriously- ask him- something else is going on.

Mariegold,

Do not ask for cash, do not join a honey fund, and do NOT put them on the invitations.

And don't tell anyone else to do it either. It's almost the rudest thing you can do.

We're planning to go on our mini honeymoon May 23rd-26th. Corpus isn't very appealing and I don't wanna go at all. We won't be asking for cash either because it's rude.

Why don't you two just split the week? A few days where you want and a few days where he wants. That way you both get to do what you want.

Hey Adoretamm,

I am a marriage counselor, and when I have couples who feel they 'just can't agree' on something I give them this exercise-- you might want to try it. Both people draw two circles on a piece of paper, one inside the other. Inside the smaller circle, you list the 'non negotiables' around this issue. It might be "Must be in our budget" "must be beach" "must be a nightlife", 'Must be with you". In the larger, outer circle, you write whatever you ARE willing to compromise on. That might be "fancy/not". "Beach/not" "activities". Then you two compare what you wrote. Often when people get stuck in their positions, they aren't saying what's important about their choice-- they're just repeating their desire. When people can say, "This is why I want what I want" it makes compromise easier.

Adoretamm - you could mini-moon in a super nice hotel in Houston and then plan a honeymoon at another time. Houston has some really nice places to stay and to eat. I miss it there :-(

Celia - I have no idea why people love Corpus so much. Really, I feel dirty just thinking about it.

Here is a picture of Galveston beach for reference. See - no real difference

What Zoey said ^^^

I have to add, though, that you've had a lot of arguments with him (that you've posted here) about getting married, the wedding, and now your honeymoon. Have you guys done pre marital counseling? It seems like there's a lot you aren't on the same page together.

I did have to dig a little deeper with him as to why he was against the Florida trip and I found out why. He went as a child and had some bad memories there (family trip) and that's why he was we reluctant about not going there. Now he seems to be on board with the Florida trip. @Janeen we are going to be starting premarital counseling and yeah we do have our disagreements but it's not like bad disagreements. I think it would be similar to every other couple.

Destin, FL is one of my favorite vacation spots! The water in Miramar beach is so beautiful. Personally, I didn't find it ideal for a honeymoon spot because it was more of a family based place. We stayed at a condo and I had never seen so many families/kids on a trip before. Siesta Key in FL would fit more of my idea of a honeymoon (if you want quiet and nearby).

We had soooo many annoying honeymoon conversations. We ended up tabling a long getaway and went on a drivable trip for four days instead. It was really fun! And solved the fight!

There are so many fun things to do in New Orleans without partying. You can stay in the French Quarter at some nice hotels. There is lovely restaurants and shopping. There is the train that goes to St. Charles St. and you can walk around the art district. It has been a while since i've been there -but I remember it being nice.

I still want to know why people go to Corpus.....lol...

Galveston girl here. I had to LOL at the comments. It's true...the beach is so gross. I grew up on the beaches of Panama City tho so I know how a beach SHOULD look!

I've been to Corpus and I agree the beaches aren't any better. They do get a bit nicer once you get to South Padre Island tho if you want to check into that. Went on vacation there a few years ago and had a really nice time jet skiing and snorkeling.
