Honeymoon where he went with his ex

As usual, I agree with Sarah. Pick somewhere neither of you have been!

Lots of people go to Greece, but if its bothering him save that for another trip.

I agree, I would pick something else. Unless you're going to a different part of Greece than he went with his ex, but I might feel weird about even that. I think it would be more fun and memorable if you're both experiencing something for the first time together

If he feels weird about it, then no I wouldn't go. If he's willing to go again, I'd go. My FH has been to many countries, many islands, and I have traveled some as well. If we didn't go where the other went before, we'd never go anywhere together. I just think about we would make new memories together wherever we go!

Maybe this is just me, but I think I'd be offended that he didn't want to go with me and all he could think about was that he'd been there with someone else. It's not fair to you. FH and I have been to places together he went with exes and it's never the same trip twice and we have our own experiences that had nothing to do with his previous trips. If anything he says how much he loves that we go and can experience things together. But if he's uncomfortable go somewhere else

No way. Nope. I would vacation there some other time (or try to) but we specifically chose a place to go where neither of us had been with our exes. Mexico and Belize were immediately off the list for these reasons. We do plan to visit these places some other time as a trip, but we agreed the honeymoon would be somewhere neither of us had been.

Double post. My bad.

Yeah... i wouldn't go, at least not for honeymoon.

I would go somewhere you both haven't been for the honeymoon personally.

But I sort of see his point. But if you're not able to travel again soon and it's your must go to place then I see why you wouldn't care about it also

Yea, I'm going to echo pp.. Pick somewhere neither of you have been for your honeymoon. New memories and adventures for you both!

If he feels uncomfortable about it i would pick somewhere else and go there for a different vacation

I think I get why he makes it uncomfortable. It's not that he wants to hold on to a memory of his ex, like I think a couple people might have thought. I took it as that he wants to make NEW memories with you, not try to relieve old ones with a different person, which I think is totally understandable. Hell, I felt weird taking my FH to the dog park in my hometown because it was a favorite date spot for me and my ex. Some things you just don't want to 'recreate'.

That's how I interpreted it, anyways. I'm also team pick somewhere new.

I'd go somewhere else female Greece only part of the trip.

Dont do it, so many different countries & islands to choose from, please don't choose the 1 country he is specifically telling you he has romantic memories with his ex in Greece. Imagine he calls you by his ex's name on your honeymoon, this could get ugly and be the end of your beginning.

Good luck!

I would choose somewhere else for sure. Just dont need that added stress to think hes been there with an ex girlfriend. your honeymoon should be about you two not some ghost from his past if you know what i mean.

This is super helpful. I was leaning towards going there (if you can't tell, I REALLY want to go haha), but now I'm starting to see why that might not be ideal. I would be pretty bummed if he was thinking of that, and I'd probably LOSE IT if he called me by her name haha.

Do you guys have suggestions of any similar destinations? He's been to Italy, France, Europe, Greece, Spain, Holland, and Southeast Asia for romantic trips with her too (They were together a very very long time). We're trying to avoid the Polynesian islands, Mexico, and the Caribbean since they are close by. I'd like to go somewhere warm still

Don't think of it as repeating, think of it as "overwriting"!

Maldives maybe? It's one of my dream vacation but too far from where I live now and not enough patience to deal with the multiple layovers and flight hours.

We went to Fiji. It was wonderful! 333 islands to choose from there....of course, not all are inhabited but you can find some real gems. If you are into luxury that is authentic to the area, contains absolute beauty, and no cell service, try Beqa island (pronounced begga). We stayed at a super private eco-resort there (max of 40 guests I think). There are other more luxurious ones in Fiji in the way of modern conveniences and such. Belize is really pretty spectacular too. Granted, they are all a far cry from the European places you mentioned.

I think it's a little ridiculous that he doesn't want to go because of that. People travel.

BUT I would definitely go somewhere that's new for both of you so you share the experience.
