The first time my boyfriend said we should go out, I was so excited. I asked him what he had planned and he said, “You will see when we get there.” To my dismay, it was a hotel. It was the first time so I let it slide.

From that day, he has never taken me anywhere other than hotels. I have complained. I have even told him, “Don’t take me out again if it’s a hotel you have in mind.” It all fell on deaf ears.

I am at my wit’s end. I don’t find hotels fun. What happened to the beach, restaurants, and other nice places? I know he doesn’t like crowds but there are places we can go to that aren’t crowded.

Take the Christmas holidays, for instance. He raised my hopes up. “Today we are going somewhere nice. You will love it,” he said. I was excited to hear this. I believed that we were going somewhere nice for a change.

I took my time getting ready. Only to end up in another hotel with this guy. I was so disappointed. I couldn’t even hide it. My mood changed immediately.

He tried to initiate intimacy, but I didn’t want to do it. So I kept pushing him away. This in turn upset him. I didn’t care at this point. So in the end, everyone’s mood was ruined.

I don’t know what else I can do to get him to change this frustrating behaviour. I can’t take it anymore. I have said all I can but so far he hasn’t listened to me. How else do I get him to break this habit?
