Top 10 Reasons Couples Argue On Vacation
Planning a trip with your sweetie, but nervous about potential trouble in paradise? Online travel agency latedeals.co.uk looked into the matter by surveying vacationing couples to figure out the top reasons lovers argued with each other on a trip.For those who think their relationships are too strong to need to worry, the data shows differently. In fact, the study found over 75 percent of couples argue at least twice during a two-week trip. To help your relationship avoid becoming part of the statistic, read the following list and try to steer clear of these argument starters:
1. Men checking out other women at the pool or beach
2. Disagreements over activities
3. What to eat and where
4. Drinking too much
5. Driving and map reading
6. Packing
7. Women taking too long to get ready
8. Spending too much money
9. What time to get to the airport
10. Disagreements over currency
Have you and your partner ever had a disagreement while traveling?

I love to travel but dread travelling with my husband. He argues, complains, and critisizes almost constantly. At least at home I can just go to a different part of the house and ignore him. The funny thing is that once we get home he says, "Wasn't that a great trip?"

My husband and I have been married for eleven years and we have a 16 year old son and a 19 year old daughter and even though we all love to travel they fight the entire trip over petty things which irritates me and then my husband and I argue. Every time it's the same thing,it's always worse on a cruise(close quarters I guess). I have told them before that if they didn't stop I would throw them off the balcony of our room and enjoy the rest of my trip in peace. Of course I love them and couldn't hurt them for anything but it usually straightens them right up. At least until the ride home and about an hour into the drive home they remember that I can't throw them overboard and they start again,that's when I threaten to leave them the next time we stop and they settle down again until we get home,after we get home I don't care what they do because I can get away from them. Yet everytime we are always ready to go on the next trip and start all over again.

After traveling with my husband for 18 months, I can totally agree! But that's why we started Arribaa - because exploring a place with a local guide removes the uncertainty and pressure to make the right decision from both parties, which causes 5 of the issues above. So happy times are coming back! :-)
