Today, my husband told me that he can't find his passport. We're supposed to be leaving for Prague in two days. He's known about the trip for months. It was the anniversary vacation that was going to help our frayed relationship. Now my money is going to a hotel in Prague, but I'm not. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after months of planning and saving for our honeymoon in Italy, my wife and I were turned away at the airport because my passport only has a month until it expires, even though it's only a five-day trip. FML
Today, the day before my wife and I leave for our 1 year anniversary trip, I realized my passport expires in 2014, not 2015. Instead of a week's stay at an all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic, we'll be spending three days in Louisville. Three angry days in Louisville. FML
Today, I found out that my husband booked one-way tickets for our family to another country, without any return flights or even a place to stay, or money to navigate anything. We're living with my income, and I’m not sure if I want a divorce or a protective order against him. FML
Today, my fiancé forgot his wallet. He realized this once we were 5 hours away from home, before checking into a hotel, that had reservations under his name. FML
Today, I found out that my passport expired two days ago, two days before my first vacation abroad. I only found out when the airline employee scanned it at check-in, looked at me with sympathy, and said, "I don't think you're going anywhere today." My friends are currently posting beach photos while I'm filling out passport renewal forms. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend is booking my dream vacation to Bali with his brothers, 6 months after he told me we couldn't go on vacation this year because he doesn’t have the money. They planned this within a week. I had been planning it with him for months. FML
Today, I went with my girlfriend to the airport for some much needed vacation time. We arrived on time but were stopped at the gate when they told me I didn't have the right passport. The plane left without me. My girlfriend did too. FML
Today, I was unable to go on my dream vacation because I thought I'd lost my passport. Feeling incredibly stupid, I had no choice but to watch my plane depart without me. Shortly after, my brother handed me passport, saying that since I wasn't going on my trip, I could use my refund to pay for his cat's surgery. My trip was non-refundable. FML
Today, I found out less than three weeks before my wedding that my fiancé will lose his new, great paying job, unless we cancel our nonrefundable honeymoon. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I wouldn't be able to get any time off work to go to Mexico with him, and that we'd have to get our tickets refunded, and reschedule. He said not to bother, and that he already had someone else in mind to take with him. FML

That's just his way of saying he doesn't love you 'that much'. YDI for not pleasing him more.

in the US you can get an emergency rush passport.. costs more but it can be done aren't both GB and the CR part of the EU? you dont need a passport if they are

yes, you do need a passport to enter the CR then to get back to UK. the UK is not in the Schengen Zone, so that means to enter any other country in the zone, you need your passport. once you're in the Zone, travel os easier ans security is minimal. But, bc the UK is not in the Zone, you would most likely need a passport to get home.

Just go down to your nearest passport office, you can get an emergency passport, I think there's an additional fee. It's what my brother had to do once, he was at Luton and had to make a mad rush to get one.

You can get a passport made for you in 1 day in the UK. It'll be a mad rush to try and find a time though. Of course it will be twice as expensive as a regular passport too. Or you can just leave him and go with a friend or something. It'll serve him right tbh. Don't miss out on the fun if he's being an asshole.

OP, I really wouldn't be complaining, you've got loads of options. 1) Make him get a last minute passport, which is possible although a little costly. 2) Go anyway without him, with a friend or own your own- maybe the time apart will work for you too, to realise how much you need/miss each other when the other isn't there. 3) If you can't get a reasonable refund, try to postpone the flights to a later date and go on holiday then instead? 4) Get the refund that you can, and do something with that money and make the most of it instead of moaning about it. 5) Get off the internet complaining about your husband, invest in some toys and drag him up to the bedroom- make the most of the time you have off work ;-) Also, "vacation" is an American term, you're from the UK, surely it's a "holiday". And you should have known by now that you would have had to check for his passport, it's too much of a resonsibility for the man. But wouldn't you have used the passport to book the flights in the first place?

People are allowed to use whatever words they want to use. I know several Americans who say "holiday" instead of "vacation" so it seems reasonable to assume there would be some Brits who would say "vacation" instead of "holiday."
