We planned on using viatour or other sites to book a balos beach trip & Elofonisi beach trip and some other activities. Do we really need a car? We’d be landing in Chania and then would just need to transfer to Heraklion for the last day. I figured we could stay somewhere walkable in chania for food etc (big foodies) any thoughts/suggestions? We were paranoid about driving due to what we heard about cliffs/safety/parking and having plates removed. I also heard that Google Maps might not work well and we don’t want to be stranded far away. Open to hearing experiences. Would also like hotel recs in chania/heraklion that are accessible to things like food!

Options we are considering:
Athens (2 or 3 with day trip to hydra) Santorini (3), Crete (4 in Chania) and Naxos or Mykonos for 2 if we can do 12 nights total. Is there anything I should remove or change? Leaning towards removing Mykonos. Will beaches be repetitive in Crete and Naxos? We would really prefer not to drive and were considering hotel pick up excursions in Crete and public transport in Naxos- will we regret this decision lol?

Surprising my husb for his birthday and buying GA tickets to see the chainsmokers (this will be his first beach club/seeing an artist perform in his life besides 1 concert prior so it’s all very exciting!) We are in Vegas for such a limited time though. What’s the latest we can get to encore knowing we have general admission and not missing them/still getting a decent view? Thank you in advance! :)

Taking husb for his bday to Vegas we’ve never been

Considering: Matt Franco, Criss Angel but also open to Shin Lim, piff, the magicians study, Penn & teller.

Also looking into cirque de soleil shows like ka, Mystere or O.

We only have 3 nights so looking to see 2-3 shows during our time there!

I feel like the concert would be so cool to watch but concerned about crowds due to colon issues/needing to be near a bathroom. I was wondering are there any hotels you would recommend that maybe have balcony view rooms where you can see the main jack Daniels broadway stage? Is that a thing? That way could watch comfortably. Appreciate any suggestions!

My husband packed up everything and left. I am anxious, he is avoidant. Constant pattern. He thinks I don’t talk to him with respect but he has disproportionate reactions to things and avoids conversations. I don’t know how to process things properly but neither does he. I have childhood trauma I need to work through. We have different communication styles. He said he doesn’t feel like trying. Doesn’t want to do therapy. Feels nothing for me anymore. Asked for the ring back. Packed it all up and left. Over 6 years together and he says he just doesn’t care. We were supposed to be baby planning and are late to the game. I will now be a divorcee past her prime baby years. All I ever wanted was to be a mom and have babies with the only man I’ve ever loved. My family is blaming me because he is a good guy and I am “a lot.” This is all my fault according to them. Regardless of their judgement I care more that I lost the only person I’ve ever loved in my life and it was constantly me trying to pick up the pieces. I fought so hard for us. This literally just happened. I don’t know how to process this and I don’t know how to live or face my family or heal. I fought so hard for us and tried to fix things but he always avoided it. Now he says he just doesn’t care. I miss him so much and I hate myself. I feel unlovable and disgusting. I feel like nothing I ever did was good enough. I feel like I am being punished by God but most of all I feel horrible that I hurt him enough with my rudeness to make him want to leave me. I hate that I couldn’t be what he needed in life. He was always my safe space and I am in shambles that I couldn’t be what he needed from me. I don’t know how to proceed. He took our dog which is in essence my baby too. I lost both of them. I let them both down. I don’t know how to live with myself. I lost the only person in my life that ever made me feel safe and that there were actually good men out there. I lost him because I didn’t know how to process my feelings with my tone. I lost him for the stupidest reason. How do I even begin to process this? He didn’t want to touch me didn’t give me a hug didn’t say he loves me. I want to talk to him and it hurts me not to but I want to respect him enough to give him that space but it kills me that he doesnt value our relationship enough for a conversation or a therapy session. It kills me that he doesn’t want to talk to me. I feel like everytime he got mad at me I tried to understand his feelings and even correct my behavior but it just wasn’t good enough. I felt highly scrutinized. I know my tone isn’t the best I know I can have attitude but it’s also from a defense mechanism place when that happens because I don’t know how to process it alone. I feel I have to process the big feelings alone because he doesn’t like to communicate his feelings and then he’s overwhelmed so I have to respect that too and then it bothers him when I have to walk through scenarios that happened repeatedly. I know I suck at processing and need therapy and I pray he is just angry in the moment and realizes he doesn’t want to throw away our lives over this but it also hurts so much because even at our worst I have never left and how can he so easily just leave like this? How can I process my emotions better in situations where others might be avoidant but I’m anxious? How can I work on my tone while still being true to myself and my feelings? How can I learn better boundaries when I get anxious? I am in shambles.

Tl;dr anxious wife who has an avoidant husband who got so fed up that he packed up everything out of anger including his work laptop, his passport, our dog, his belongings and left. How could I process things better in these type of situations to make sure I am not overwhelming someone who has different communication style than me?

Any progress updates? Where are our affordable tickets? Transit is going to be a nightmare for all of us. This is the bare minimum they can do 🙄

I’m looking for a “well done” Pizza Hut pan pizza recipe (and tips and tricks) for close to the original. I’m not talking about the BS they serve now. I purely want to recreate the amazing late 1990’s/early 2000’s version!!!
