cancelling a trip, what would you do?
Rachael asked:
i was supposed to be travelling to bournemouth end of the month with boyfriend for a long weekend. i booked the trip on the agreement bf was driving which he offered voluntary. now my bf is saying he won’t drive. i refuse to pay the trian price which works out about 80 pounds between us. and i am not driving. after asking bf what he wants do. ie. cancellation. gave a foul resposne. i am goign to email to cancel. am i being unfair. bf passed his test not long ago and has not been on motorway yet. but he did offer to drive and that is why i booked. what would you do
the reason i am not going to drive is because i said at the beginning i would not drive. and have been drivign my bf around for a year! (as i passed my test b4 i met him) i think its his turn now

don’t cancel the trip, tell him your going to find someone else to drive you if he doesn’t. If that doesn’t work, then drive yourself a friend (not your boyfriend) he should have never offered if he had no intention of driving, maybe he’s scared to drive on the freeway. Maybe you could compromise let him drive there you drive back, or stop half way let him take over.
Have you asked him why he doesn’t wanna drive? He is probably scared of driving on the motorways. I actually live in Bournemouth its nice here (the beach is the best).
Maybe compromise you drive down and you insist that he drives you both home again?
If you don’t want to compromise, i’d suggest cancelling afterall
The fact that he gave a foul response, I’d cancel. You agreed to the trip under certain conditions, which your boyfriend has broken. As you say, he gave you a foul response and appears not to have given a reasonable response. He does not seem to give an explanation as to why he does not want to drive anymore. It sounds as if you have not yet incurred a cost and the hotel will not charge you if you have followed their cancellation policy.
If I’m not bothered about going to Bournemouth, I’d cancel; particularly as it has not incurred an expense and you can go in the future when you are more relaxed.
I can understand why he’d be nervous about driving, if he is a new driver. I haven’t been driving for too many years, especially on freeways, highways. And especially in places that I am not familiar with the area.
Either reconsider driving it yourself, or take a friend instead.
Get the train – it will only be a few pounds more than the petrol money, will still allow you to enjoy your weekend away and you wont have to worry about driving, drinking or crashing
If your BF has not long since past his driving test he his probably feeling very nervous at the thought of driving such a long way and on the motorways, he is probably too embarressed to admit this to you hence his foul response.
why don’t you travel by bus or train don’t cancel the hol both go and enjoy yourselves. And don’t moan at boyfriend about not driving l have been driving nine years and l still avoid motorways at all costs they are a nightmare
have fun
