I would call and talk to him or leave a message saying that he doesn't sound like he really wants to go so you'll be going by yourself, you'll talk to him when you get back. Then go and have a good time. I think he needs to see that he is not necessary for your vacation...just an aside...I wouldn't be passing on any more of mom's comments.
My thoughts on this...........if he decides not to go then go yourself, you sound like you are a strong person and why should you not go and have some fun and relaxation! Also I think this whole saga could be a sign of things to come, he sounds like he has some growing up to do and lets other people decide how he should act and feel, it maybe a good thing that something like this is happening so new in the relationship. If he can't think on his own now he never will and regardless of how his dad feels he should have his own life and make his own decisions...........I say COME ON DOWN!!!
I agree with this 100%. You do NOT want to end up married to a guy who is so dependent on his father's approval. My parents are like this guy's father. It took my finally going to therapy to break free of their constant critizism (sp?). My poor DH spent years seeing me manipulated by my parents Being nasty about my vacations was one of their favorite things to do! It all but assured that I would have a lousy time when we did go away. Trust me, it was a LOT of work to break away from a family like that, and I WANTED to. It doesn't sound like your bf wants to. RUN, don't walk, away from this guy and this situation. You deserve SO much better!!
As for the trip, can you take a sibling, a friend, a cousin, a neighbor, your mom or dad or grandparent? Go with someone else and make a fun memory!!
