Don't Be Turned Off By These 6 Things On Your First Couple's Trip
12 1월 2018아이디어BY SweetEscape

First vacation with your boyfriend? Woot! Now that’s an exciting relationship milestone that is worth celebrating.

Like all couples, you must have imagined all the rainbows, unicorns and butterflies that you both will enjoy during the trip. But consider yourself warned, during this trip, you will also uncover many sides of your partner that you never have thought before. Don’t be scared!

From quirky habits to getting too comfortable, here’s 6 things you can expect during your first vacation together, and how to handle it too!

1. Frustration from over-expectations

Are you a shopaholic while your man is a culture buff? Or, he loves trailing the malls while you prefer the outdoor? Sometimes opposite attract is exciting, but too much of different expectations can lead to frustration.

Solution: Choose a destination where you can mutually enjoy different spectrum of activities. You should both be happy and each of you should be looking forward to a highlight, so compromise on the activity you might not prefer and show enthusiasm to support your partner.

2. Unmanaged Misunderstandings

From planning to actually traveling, there will be many things that you both need to discuss. Chances are there will be misunderstandings that make for uncomfortable moments ( or even a fight, gasp!)

Solution: Understand that this should be one of the happiest moments of your relationship. This way, you will both agree to set aside simple misunderstandings and use the best cool-headed approach each time you come across misunderstanding. It also helps if each person plans based on skills, for example : if you’re great on taking care of the budget, then perhaps he’s better at planning the itinerary, etc.

3. Budgetting Feuds

He wants a five star hotel, but you’d rather splurge on something else. Budget dispute is a pretty common problem, even in your daily course of relationship and could be even more so during holiday.

Solution: Discuss this topic early and find the best way to manage your holiday funds. Whether it is personal spending or expenses for both, it is highly important to be clear and precise so that you can truly enjoy your holiday together peacefully.

4. Feeling Too Overwhelmed

Okay, a whole weekend of your boyfriend only - that can get a bit overwhelming. What if you get tired of him or vice versa?

Solution: A quality “me-time’ doesn’t have to be a bad idea even if it’s just your first trip together. You can plan a different short activity apart, or even engage another couple friends who happen to live in your destination city. We’re sure, you’ll be even more lovey dovey when you’re both all alone again.

5. Fascinating/ Annoying Habits

Messy boyfriend? Slow girlfriend? Get ready to see all sides of your partner now that you will spend 24 hour together.

Solution: Well, there’s a saying, “ if you truly love a person, accept them as they are” - but if there is something that really bothers you, find a way to talk about it rather than keep it bottled up. Get ready to receive some criticisms too, but hey, as long as they are constructive, we’re sure that's the key to a long lasting relationship.

6. Unpreserved Memories

Worry you won’t have a proper couple picture? Nobody wants to end up with a solo picture on their first couple trip for sure.

Solution: Hire a personal holiday photographer, of course. SweetEscape is a great way to eternalize this sweet and precious memory.
