My brother is coming down from Arizona and he wants us to meet him in San Antonio, Texas on July 6th. My problem is that my husband had let us go and we reserved the hotel and bought tickets to go to Fiesta Texas. Now he wants us to cancel everything because he says we don't have money. We do, I have saved some to go there. He always does it to me, he is not happy and he doesn't want us to be happy either. He is so selfish! What do I do, should I go or convince him to let us go? How do I do it? Please advise.

Hi my friend you should do what you want to do. If you have saved for this and you have the money to do it then you do it. You cant let him do that to you. Stand your ground. And maybe he will stop doing that you. I wish you luck. Remember be strong I know you can do it. Lets us know.

Yes, you are right! I want to go real badly, I haven't seen my brother for the past two years and the other members of my family are going too. My daughter and son want to go too, so I will go no matter what!

Awwww sorry to hear that mimatexas. Is there anyway you can talk to your husband and tell him how much this trip is important to you i.e. seeing your brother? If he doesn't want to go, would he be angry if you decided to go without him? If it were me and after I had spoken to him about how important seeing my brother was, and he still didn't want to go, then I would make arrangements to go myself, but that is me. He may end up going with you in the end. I hope it works out for you mimatexas and that you get to see your brother in Arizona :) Good luck!

I know he doesn't want to go. I will talk to him and convince him to let us go by ourselves. I still have some time to persuade him.

Take loads of money for Fiesta Texas, we went in late March for our girls (ages 7 & 8 years old) birthday and were very disappointed at how long the rides were, in fact, we got there in the morning and only went on 5 rides the entire day, you heard me right, we waited in some lines over an hour to ride a 3 minute ride, and talk about HOT, goodness it was hot as the dicekens on March. They do have a fast pass ticket that you can get, but we heard it was like $75 additional on each ticket, it allows you to jump to the head of the line with this additional fast pass status. I would highly suggest Sea World as opposed to Fiesta Texas, alot better for your money. Also, there are some great hotel rates currently going on for San Antonio, we stayed at a Marriott in the Medical Center for $79 a night, which is very close to both of the parks. You can go cheap in San Antonio if you avoid the expensive restaurants and entertainments so perhaps you can reason to him with that, but other than that I had a great time, I love San Antonio, one of my favorite places to go!!

Well I already made reservations for the hotel, we are staying at the Super8 hotel near Riverwalk, because we want to go there too. Also, I have already purchased the tickets to go to Fiesta Texas, I will consider Sea World for next time. Thank you very much for your input.

You know what they say, misery loves company... Just because he isn't happy about it, don't let him spoil things for you. If you want to see your brother then don't let him stop you! I think that you are right about him being selfish, and that you should either talk him into it or go without him!

Well I finally convinced my husband to let us go to San Antonio to see my brother. I am so excited! Tomorrow is the day we will go! Please pray for us that God protects during our trip and brings us back safe and sound!
