Chances are he'll be out for 4-5 hours at least and get back drunk and tired. That's why it's choosing, not compromising.

Drunk and tired means you can't lay down, cuddle and drink wine? I've been doing it wrong all these years.

I like how every relationship problem ends with dump his ass or he's a jerk....finally someone who says compromise, that's what makes relationships work in the real world.

This isn't a compromise, he ditched her. He went gambling and didn't tell her. He didnt even consult OP, he just decided to completely ignore her.

@JoeyJaws68 Where does it say that? When I first read her FML I thought she wanted some alone time with wine, it wasn't until the end of the FML that I realised that she ment to do that with him and this FML was written with plenty of opportunity to think about the wording... Thinking about how I reacted as a teenager (and some of my friends still do...) I think the following happened: she suggested her idea, he disagreed and said he wanted to go gamble today, he left to go gamble, she throws a hissy-fit about not getter her way emediatly. It's a cruise? Your idea isn't limited to that one night, you can rearrange it if he really felt like going to the casino (because maybe a special opening night? or because he already made plans with other people he met? because he misunderstood just like me? or just because he felt like it), just go cuddle with wine on the next day.

IF he brings her money. Otherwise, she's probably going to be double pissed.

I'm pretty sure that's not what happened. Those things are rigged. I'm sorry, OP. How inconsiderate of him. It would have been nice had he at least talked to you about what he wanted to do.

You may have a gambling problem.

lol 21... I'm sure his BJ was a bust.

I'm sorry #21 but no, just no. Doc that was one hell of a comment, I tip my hat to you good sir.

Oh my God i just realized i made a horrible mistake. I did not mean #21, i meant #53, the one above me. I apologize greatly for whoever #21 may be.

But if he bets too much and loses it all, it could have canasta-rous implications.

She said she "told" him. Doesn't sound like she was hinting.

she did say it would be great to... that sounds like a hint and not too direct to me.

20 means that OP should have stated that she wanted them to cuddle up with wine and a blanket on the balcony, instead of saying that it would be a great idea.

Precisely :)

Well, It was probably one of those multi-day (like week long) cruises, so he could have gone gambling another night. The cabins with a balcony are fairly large (and expensive), so if one pays that much one might want to take some time to enjoy the view, especially if the time is around sunset and you're facing west.

and in your words... they can do it another night. maybe there was a poker tourney or something.

Maybe he doesn't want to be stuck in the cabin. Maybe he wants to spend some time by himself.

I'm catching a hint of sarcasm :)

why you get thumbed down?
