Winning a dream vacation should be a moment of joy, not the spark for a family feud. When I (39M) finally hit the jackpot with a free trip to Florida for four, I imagined it as the ultimate chance to relax, celebrate, and make it something special. But instead of shared excitement, it’s turned into a battle of clashing expectations between my wife (38F) and me. What was supposed to be a happy occasion now feels like a test of boundaries, respect, and who really gets a say in how this trip unfolds.

Time to see how Reddit weighs in on this drama.
What should have been a once-in-a-lifetime reward has now turned into a standoff. My wife thinks I’m selfish for not wanting to bring her daughter and mother along, while I feel like she hijacked my win and stripped away my right to choose. At this point, I’d rather stay home than go on a trip where I’m treated like a passenger instead of a partner. So now I’m left wondering—am I the jerk for refusing to let this free vacation become something I never wanted in the first place?
