Say it to Sappho: She won’t let me go on holiday with my friends
November 27th, 2009
“Dear Sappho. My partner won’t let me go on a weekend break with a bunch of mates. I think she is jealous but she is making up other excuses that are basically a bit mad - like not wanting to be alone in the house as she has been having nightmares recently. When I have tried to sort it out with her she has threatened to finish with me if I put my mates first. It is a hen-do and I will be gutted to miss it. How can I convince her?” Anon
It worries me that your partner is willing to sacrifice your relationship to get her own way! You need to think about what you really want out of this relationship. How much of your own life, choices and freedom are you willing to compromise to fit in with her life?
If you think she is not being honest with you about why she doesn’t want you need to go, you need to question why it is that she not able to communicate this with you. It could be that she is jealous about you doing your own thing and having fun without her. It could be that her ‘mad’ excuses are genuine.
If you see this relationship as a long term possibility you need to let her know what your needs are. If she cannot respect them, then is this really the right person for you ?
