Today is my 5-year anniversary with my husband, we were planning on going on a camping trip to celebrate. He asked today if it was ok to cancel because a bad tooth had been causing him pain all last night. After talking about their refund policy, I told him it was ok to cancel if he was worried about it. We have a dentist appointment scheduled for him, but we couldn’t get in before the trip.
He wants to make it up to me by taking me out to dinner at our favorite restaurant this weekend, and I feel bad for feeling a little disappointed. Its a nice restaurant, don’t get me wrong, but I wanted to do something special or new for our 5-year. I want to ask to do something this weekend, but don’t know what to ask for so last minute. So now I’m here asking if anyone has any ideas on what to do to celebrate, or if I should just keep my disappointment to myself? What would you do?
I would totally reschedule if we could, but it’s too late to take back the days off we scheduled. Maybe we’ll reschedule way later, but I can’t this month since we’re taking time off for all the dental work aswell. I feel bad for him being in so much pain, tooth aches really do suck. In the past we would make a nice dinner together (we couldn’t afford anything crazy as college students lol), maybe I can ask him to do that this weekend. We always talked about going to this flower garden nearby, or kayaking on the river, maybe I should bring some of these up to him. I was worried I was asking too much to want to do more, but talking to him sounds like a good idea, maybe he’ll have some more ideas of his own. Thank you for validating my disappointment, even if it is only minor disappointment.
