My [38F] fiancé [37M] only realized that he can’t find his passport the night before our honeymoon and now we can’t go.
2KSome context: a family member gifted this trip to us for our wedding. It’s the only “nice” thing we’re doing for the occasion because otherwise we’re going to just go to the city hall and have dinner with family. After this years’ ongoing strike (you can guess the industry) and a bad financial year before that, I’ve been the sole breadwinner and while he’s been very helpful around the house, it’s starting to breed resentment and fear in me. I’m so nervous that this event will only be gasoline on that fire.
Could you please give me some perspective, Reddit? My fiancé is so kind and we get along so well and I love him dearly, but these lapses in judgement are beginning to grind me down. This was the kind of trip that we’ll never be able to afford on our own, so I’m feeling this very hot.
TLDR my fiancé only looked for his passport the night before our honeymoon and can’t find it so now we can’t go because we’re tight on cash and this was a gift. Please help me not go insane.
Update: First of all, thank. you to everyone who wrote such kind advice and also thank you to those of you who called him irresponsible because you're really appealing to the anger in me right now.
I wrote this post in the middle of the night as we were still looking for the passport. Hope remained that we might find it, We did not. It's the weekend, so there's no chance of getting it until Monday. We called one agency and they said that they no longer do day-of passports after covid, but there's a chance that we might be able to get into the federal office on Monday/Tuesday.
I honestly should have gone alone, but the one detail I left out above is that his aunt and her family were also going to be on this trip and I felt uncomfortable joining them without him.
Will update Reddit on whether or not I end up making it on Tuesday. I'm still really emotional and am perhaps not acting too rationally right now, but I'll let you know whether I end up making it or not. I'm also not going to lie — I've said many, many things that I regret.
