Traveling with your partner can oftentimes be more difficult than it should but there are steps you can take to lessen dissension. Why add complications to something that be an enjoyable experience? Imagine saving up towards your bae-cation and BOOM! There are tonne loads of issues that could just ruin everything you planned.

Think about it. Have you ever been in similar situations? Have you ever regretted going on a trip with your partner?

Follow these tips to avoid bad situations and being in this position.

While it is possible to avoid such situations, do not forget that something may go wrong along the line. Use the following steps as a guide to limit the possibility of situations that may lead you to disagreements and regret.

Divide duties and plan double team tasks (eg. cleaning).
Don’t be on top of each other the whole time (take a break from each other at intervals throughout the day).
Don’t overdo it and run yourself into the ground. Fear of missing out is a trap.
I’m a very scheduled guy especially when I go on trips. I often feel as though I might not come back to this destination again so I always need to have a balanced schedule/ to-do list. I try to tick off as many activities as I can, but this sometimes leads you into a trap and you end up feeling like you’re missing out on the experience. You overwork yourself on the bae-cation and neglect your partner so you don’t get much out of each individual experience as a couple. Nothing is wrong if you don’t stick to the itinerary - discuss it though!
Feel free to say no to some things that don’t seem enjoyable. Don’t be restrictive and don’t be overly agreeable.
You literally don’t need to say yes to everything! If you feel like something is going to be boring or you are simply not interested, let that be known. The worst thing you can do on a trip is to be a yes-man and spread yourself thin in doing all the things you don’t want to do.
Squash any problems before the trip.
This is self-explanatory. If there are issues that need to be resolved, discuss it, and have it resolved or it will potentially cause problems in the coming days. Get it out of the way! If it’s something ongoing, you need to sort it out before the trip, nothing is worst than going on a vacation with a lagging issue - that’s a literal recipe for disaster.
Mind your mood. Acknowledge if you are tired/cranky.
Figure out what type of traveler you are beforehand (busy/relaxed) and have that discussion.
Don’t underestimate the power of a shrug of indifference.
