writes:I'll soon be going on holiday with my boyfriend and his parents. Let's call him P. He lives in Kent now, his parents live in Birmingham and I live in Cornwall. See the problem already arising?The original plan was: P picks me up, we go back, rest for two days, go on holiday, come back, spend a couple of days with his parents when he goes back to work, and then the parents would put me on a bus back home.At least that WAS the plan. I'm now taking bus journeys to and from his- journeys I can't afford the price of. I also can't stay at his parents as I haven't got the money to travel back.So basically I'm bussing everywhere. But I'm scared witless, as I've never travelled more than 50 miles on my own.What's shocked me no end is that from speaking to them, the three of them have seemed to have had this plan circulating for a while, but left it till the week before to tell me. I'm not sure how they expected me to take it, but I'd have liked a little more forewarning.I can appreciate the price of fuel is expensive, and I'm willing to do this even though I'm scared out of my mind, but what I don't appreciate is my sweetheart snapping at me for showing the slightest bit of apprehension.We had a few crossed words last night, and he seemed to imply that I was apprehensive because I'm too lazy/selfish to go on public transport. He apologised afterwards, but I'm not convinced.I resent being called selfish when I'm embarking on a 20 hour return (ten there, ten back) journey that a) I'm worrying myself to sleep about and b) I can't fund!I just don't see why I should go through with all this if he thinks that, and I told him so.I love that man so much, but he doesn't seem to be seeing my point of view. For the moment, I think I should just hold my tongue.I don't know whether to cry, throw things or eat a considerable amount of chocolate.Your insight on this would be greatly appreciated.xxx
