Ok so we are heading off for a naughty weekend tomorrow (or a naughty 2 days anyway). Im excited, looking forward to it and cant wait. Last time I saw AP (last Thursday) he was also really looking forward to being together for a whole 48hrs.
But fast forward to today, and he is mega stressed! His wife wants to join him in the city we are going to on Saturday, hence I need to drive myself so Im able to get myself home on Saturday while he spends another night there with wife and kids.
Also one of his colleagues (partners) went on holidays and left a pile of work/clients unfinished. So

Hey Buddhism might be a good idea! LOL! Or yoga, or meditation. We could all stand to learn something for a little stress reduction.
I don't blame you for these particular squirrels. And you could be right that with all the stress and work crunch, your AP is questioning whether he really wants to go. BUT as soon as you're both there I think he'll be able to relax and so will you. Hold on to that.
You've got a lot of choices. If getting out of bed in the morning is a chore and you're not smiling on a regular basis, try another choice. ~Steven D. Woodhull

Hi Stronger
Ugh, that's a frustrating situation to have a wonderful weekend planned then along come things you can't control! I think unfortunately, because we are in A's, unexpected things like that can happen (well they happen in life too) but since we have such specific times that we get to spend with them, it can really be a big deal.
I can actually see a situation like this happening with me and my AP. He starts feeling guilty and overwhelmed by the A every once in awhile, and it can be life stressors that tip him over. Then, like you, the squirrels start going crazy and I wonder if the A is too much for him, if I like him more than he likes me, if he thinks it's worth it, and so on.
Like the other reply said, I think once you're there, he will relax and enjoy himself. I would just try to be as unpushy as possible, go with the flow, and be understanding. You don't want to be an extra source of stress.
That said, it's not a nice situation to be in, because you just want them to be able to spend the whole time with you, heart, body and soul!
Good luck!
