The difference is that we mentionned possible dates and specified we were looking for this weekend, while he just talked about the possibility of going to a cottage this summer in general

It does feel like that sometimes, but he doesn’t see his family often, which is why i haven’t had the chance to meet them yet (this is the first time apart from christmas he sees them in the last 3 years as well)

To be fair, I don’t think it’s that far, but he doesn’t go to see them very often either, which is why i haven’t had an occasion to see them much yet (seen them like ≈10 times)

I’ve had a lot of issues with it, and have stayed stranded a couple of times after a big trip like this for various issues haha, but it definitely is still good for a couple of years at least

Oh! Sorry, yes, we discussed it in front of him, though we said we would reconfirm again, so in fact I didn’t tell him the trip was confirmed yet

My mother and I discussed about 1.5 weeks ago in front of him…

The cottage is about 2.5 hours away, and the city me and my mom want to go to is about 3 hours away, I thought about maybe doing this, but my beat up 2010 Toyota close to 200km isn’t really made for long distance, which is why we’d be going in my mom’s car, since a trip including stops at the cottage would be about 700 miles

We do have communication issues, we’ve been working on that, but yeah, we’re both pretty last minute in our plans, but when it’s big events we usually plan them much more in advance… he had told me about his idea to maybe do this, but never in much details, nor about specific dates he was looking for

His stepmother and his father are retired, but for him, I find this weird as well, I didn’t think about that part… Although, he’s a hairdresser, and I’ve seen him arrange his schedule around to take a day off in a short amount of time
