At a loss for words . . . the vacation that never happened (apparently) (1 Viewer)

Perhaps Jose Monkey can help if you send him the pics.

My wife still won’t admit that when she first started dating she farted and blamed my dog.

Apparently I don't remember eating dinner at The Salt Rock Grill in Madeira Beach back in October
Wife was bringing it up and conversation and I said "we did?"
-I do remember now but my wife and I had eaten there 24-25 years ago prior to getting married, we had the rehearsal dinner there, it was lovely.
So we discovered it's still there and still a pretty darn nice spot to eat on the beach around St Pete
I remember the dinner 24 years ago a lot more vividly than I do when we visited in October as I recall we were a little rushed for time and I don't think I was relaxed

I have a great memory, it's just short

Was there a man wearing a yellow hat?

I am trying to remember if the part about never going without any of our kids could be accurate, but I don't remember anything involving kids.

I was totally on your side until this part.

Not sure what you mean. I don’t have any memories on this trip of any of our kids being there. Any of the pics I have don’t have kids in them.

If some or all of the kids came, there would be pics with them . . . and I wouldn’t have had hours by myself looking for things to do. I would have been doing activities with them all day.

I distinctly remember hanging out by the pool and eating meals without anyone else. And I remember bringing food back to the room. None of that would have happened with the kids there (would have eaten with them). When on full family vacations, all we did were group activities.

I remember visiting Nelson Mandela's grave just shortly after seeing that Sinbad movie where he plays a genie. For lunch I had a really good PB&J with Jiffy peanut butter (passed on Chic-FilA). I think during lunch I was reading a Berenstein Bear book with a monocle like the one the Monopoly guy has.

Were you wearing your Fruit of the Loom with the cornucopia logo in them?

this is the 2nd reference i've seen to this in the last couple days

why did this go viral? people doubted the cornucopia?

 

[mr. furley]

I love the idea that your wife has also posted her side of this on a message board she frequents and everyone there 100% convinced that you are wrong.

The Lifetime Original twist of course would be that one of you, sadly, would be in the early stages of dementia and the spouse/viewer slowly begins to realize that what they thought was an amusing disagreement is actually the effects of no longer remembering things that happened, or getting memories jumbled up/creating false memories. We then watch as that person slowly fades away and reality slips from their mind. And as their spouse grieves, new love begins to blossom with the in-home caretaker who so lovingly cares for their declining spouse.

100% would watch

There never was a cornucopia. This is another example of the "Mandela Effect" phenomenon.

The part I’m super impressed by is your ability to let this all go and move on. I mean, something like this would drive me batty for weeks. I would just keep bringing up more and more examples of memories until my wife finally broke down in tears and acknowledged how correct I am.

Glad you are able to be the bigger person!

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Any chance either/both of you have Google Maps timeline recording a history of your location & trips?

I mean, not that it would matter, but still...

This all happened 10 or 12 years ago. None of the pics were saved to the cloud or posted on social media. The digital record is probably on a storage card for a camera we don't have anymore. Any other pics would be on a phone we don't have either. As someone else suggested, it is probably too late to go through credit card statements or get bank records, but even if that were still possible, no good can really come from that. "Hi honey, here's a subpoena compelling your bank to disclose transaction records from the trip we never took. Have a nice day!"

And for anyone suggesting that maybe I am thinking of a trip with someone else, I never went on a cruise with anyone else, so I am not conflating or confusing a trip with somebody else. I am trying to remember if the part about never going without any of our kids could be accurate, but I don't remember anything involving kids. Her contention is we would have had to have gone with at least our youngest. I remember checking in on my wife multiple times a day when she was sick, but I have no recollection of having to keep tabs on any kids at the same time. Our son would have been around 10, and there would have been no way we would have just let him wonder around all on his own. In my version of reality, he stayed with his grandparents for us to go on the trip.

If said grandparents are still with us, you could get them to corroborate. But it’s probably not worth dragging them into this.

Dragging them into this? This sounds like a humorous disagreement, not something contentious. Am I misunderstanding?

This was posted in the FFA, which means it’s Serious Business.

Pics or it never happened.

That's kind of the point. There are pics. Of us. Together. On land. And on sea. But the pics are being disputed . . . and the pictures are being used to describe other trips and destinations.

Are they digital? They would have a tiimestamp then, right?

I showed her printed pictures of the trip. There are probably digital files of the pics somewhere, but who knows where they are. Even if I found them, she would say there were pics from a different trip.

The best part was when I told her the things I did without her (when she was sick in the cabin), Saw a show. Went to the casino. Climbed the rock wall. Went to the onboard gym. Entered a trivia contest. She was like, "I don't remember that . . . no way that happened." I pointed out that that made sense, as she was in the cabin and that's what I did to kill time WITHOUT her. I showed her pics that I had someone take of me on the climbing wall and she insisted it wasn't me in the picture because I don't do rock climbing.

Sounds like she is really, really, smart and playing with you, or really, really, not.

It’s not about being smart. It’s about being right. And if she’s at all like my wife, she’s not capable of being wrong.

I feel betrayed — you’re secretly married to my wife?!?!

 

[supermike80]

While not to that extreme..Wife and I will disagree about stuff. Most of the time, shes right...cause my memory ain't that great. However, when I am 100% certain I am right and she's still disagreeing, I just give in and say "yes dear"
Been married over 25 years. Thats probably a contributor to that. Aint worth the fight

We are all honestly married to the same woman.

Has the OP ever been on a camping trip?

This was a cruise, not a camping trip...

You seemed adamant before that you guys took a trip without your kids, and now you seem to be backpedaling your level of confidence. Therefore I am no longer completely on your side. Nothing personal.

Start hiding vacations

 

[Bracie Smathers]

...no kids). She didn't feel well and spent multiple days in the cabin sick. She told me not to worry about her and instructed me to go have fun without her

Uh ha.

HER VERSION:
There was no such trip, we have never gone on a cruise without the kids, we never took a cruise in the summer, and we never went on a cruise from Points A to B. She never went on a cruise and got sick, she never told me to go have fun without her,...
This turned into a very bizarre and contentious conversation,... There wasn't another cruise that was not accounted for.
