I am a marriage n00b *pic included*

Over Thanksgiving a couple of my friends (one of them XietyCom) are going to be making a 8 day trip to Europe. I, of course, invited myself and my wife to go along since she loves Europe and I've never been. Well apparently she isn't allowed to take vacation days since she's a teacher and they get all sorts of breaks. So I said I would just go, which of course I got the response "What you'd rather spend Thanksgiving with them than me..." so i said "Well, yes it is Europe" Anyways she didn't like that...

Am I being unreasonable? Is this something I need to accept as part of married life? It's not a huge issue between us I'm just trying to adjust to this whole 'dependence' thing 🙂

cliff notes:

wife can't go to europe, i still want to
does that make me suck

edit:
me and the wife -> Justin/Hannah
 
yes.. she isnt being unreasonable..

once your married.. your fscked!

actually you seem like a newly wed.. but thanksgiving.. esp if its the first one.. you got to spend with family.

i said get in the kitchen and make me a pie...close enough?

Yeah, its close enough.
always add the word bitch to the end of the demand, women love that.
For example, Make me a pie bitch.
 
First of all, you invited both of you without checking with her, that was your first mistake.

Second mistake was your wording, you COULD have said that you are going to spend the rest of your lifes together, what is 8 days compared to a lifetime.

Third mistake was asking for marriage advice on ATOT.

does it make you suck? maybe

does it make you a selfish marriage noob? absolutely.

you are screwed either way now, you've lost major points and she WILL NOT forget this...
 
If the genders were switched in this question, you'd have 50 people calling you an insecure controlling prick.

Aside from that, what I DO think is weird is that you still want to go when your wife can't. You're gonna be a third wheel. I think it only works if you're a package deal with you and your wife and your friend and his wife. If it's a couple + 1 it's gonna be awkward. Unless you'd be pretty separated. In that case, being alone in Europe COULD be pretty cool.
 
What does this have to do with marriage? You act like you never knew each other, and all of a sudden got married and here you are, confused and asking for help on atot.

Disagreement certainly != divorce, however, if you have to ask for help with such basic issues, then damn... not sure what to say. 😉
