She Expected To Have A Child-Free Honeymoon Without Her Stepkids, But Her Fiancé Said They’re A “Package Deal” And Called Her Both Selfish And Insensitive
This 28-year-old woman has been in a relationship with her 42-year-old fiancé named Tyler for four years now.
Tyler has two children from his previous marriage – an 11-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old son – and his late wife sadly passed away when his son was just 1-year-old.
Then, three years later, she and Tyler met, and the rest was history.
“His kids are wonderful and lovely, and we get along great,” she said.
Right now, she, Tyler, and his kids all live together, and since Tyler works long hours, she does most of the caretaking for the children. The kids also call her “mom,” but they know about their late biological mother.
“We have her pictures in their rooms, and Tyler talks about her to them all the time,” she detailed.
Now that she and Tyler are engaged, though, they have begun planning their wedding. In the process, her father also graciously offered to let them use his condo in Hawaii for their honeymoon.
She was really happy about that, too, and thought it was a kind and generous offer. But, when she told Tyler about it, his reaction really caught her off guard.
“I bet the kids will have a blast!” he replied.

After he said that, she just looked at Tyler in disbelief and basically asked what he meant. At that point, her fiancé claimed the children would be joining them on their honeymoon.
“I said that’s our honeymoon! I don’t wanna be a mom on my honeymoon. We can go on plenty of family trips later, but this is our honeymoon!” she recalled.
Well, Tyler actually didn’t agree with her and claimed that, from day one, he was honest with her and told her that he and his kids were a “package deal.” So, Tyler thinks that she can’t just choose to go on their honeymoon with him and not his kids.
To be clear, she understands that her fiancé cares about his kids deeply. However, for this situation, she thought they could perhaps find a compromise.
That’s why she asked if the kids could stay with Tyler’s mom just for one week while they’re away on their honeymoon.
“But he got very frustrated and said he couldn’t believe how insensitive and selfish I was being,” she vented.
So now, she’s been left wondering if expecting to have a child-free honeymoon without her stepkids is really so crazy or not.
Can you understand why she doesn’t want to bring the children on her honeymoon? Do you think her fiancé is being unreasonable? How do you suggest she handles this situation?
