Within discovering this upon the first few minutes of our trip, I knew even the mere mention of alone time longer than a trip to the toilet was out the question. I felt stifled and captive...I would not repeat.
But with every negative experience, I try to learn. This one was no different. Looking back, I realize I should have communicated with him more about the type of vacationer and companion he is. Me, I'm pretty chill. I like to lounge, sip drinks, have good food and kinda take things slow. I also require time to check in back home with my family and friends.
Him? The complete opposite. He's going full speed from the time he wakes up at 6:30AM to the time he passes out between 12-1AM. We have nothing in common! If had I taken more time to figure him out, I would have realized that and spared myself a weekend.
I might get flack for this post, but I felt like I needed to chime in. So there you go. haha!

Soooo, all of this advice, and you still didn't talk to the guy?
You were supposed to put him into a coma FIRST, then go check your messages. If he was at least looking for a little 'morning glory', that shouldn't have been a problem. Longer dates require planning. You should have known the itinerary before you left. If you had any inkling that you were going to be trying to keep up with him, you should have brought your vitamins, or something that would have helped you cope with such an eventful weekend.
Honestly, on my longer dates, I anticipate as little sleep as possible. I sleep before I leave, and when I get home.
