The first joint vacation can be a real test, there is a high probability of quarreling with your loved one, whom you recently considered ideal. Not every couple is ready for such close contact, especially if you do not live together yet. DIP consulted with a specialist who suggested several life hacks to return from vacation together, and not on different flights.
Clarify the financial question
If you have not traveled together further than your friends’ dacha, then a long trip with shared accommodation in the same room will reveal not the most attractive moments in your partner. You may not have even suspected that your partner was counting on you to take enough money to pay for entertainment, and you relied on him. Do not be shy about this conversation and assume that your partner will be offended – the less bad news you have on vacation, the more nerve cells you will save.
Don’t follow each other
If you go on vacation together, this does not mean at all that you have to spend 24 hours a day together. Ask your companion in advance what he would like to do already on the spot. It is likely that you will not want to go on a night excursion or dive into the depths. But you can’t stop someone from doing something. Do not insist only on your desires, separate every few days so that everyone can go about their own business, and share your impressions at dinner in the evening. This way you will have much less reason to annoy each other.
Don’t criticize your partner
You might not know that your partner likes to talk on the phone for half an hour with a relative or prefers to sleep until dinner, although you were ready to hit the beach as early as six in the morning. Throwing tantrums and even more so criticizing the habits of your companion is a direct path to a tough conflict. Do not spoil this wonderful free time for yourself or your partner.
