Going away together for the first time is a BIG thing. It can signal total make or break. After all, you never really know someone until you live in close quarters with them for a week or more.<\/p>\n
Here are our top tips on surviving your first getaway as a couple\u2026<\/p>\n
Agree on the location. <\/b>First things first, you need to make sure that you\u2019re both happy about where you\u2019re going. If you\u2019re imaging a relaxing beach holiday whilst he wants an action packed sporty break then you\u2019re going to need to find a compromise.<\/p>\n
Start off small. <\/b>OK you maybe eyeing up that two week holiday in Cuba but think about starting off with a weekend break before going all in for a full blown two weeker. Not only will it be cheaper so you\u2019ll have more cash to spend on romantic treats but you\u2019ll also suss out if you can spend long periods of time together – just the two of you.<\/p>\n
Think about your own habits. <\/b>It\u2019s all very well thinking about how you\u2019re going to cope with your boyfriends habits but think about your own. Try to minimise any habits you think will annoy your partner.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t expect it to be perfect. <\/b>You\u2019re probably going to have a bit of a bicker at some point or some other factor like the weather or the venue won\u2019t be quite up to your expectations. So don\u2019t let the little things put a damper on your holiday. If you do have a row move on as long as possible as you don\u2019t want to leave things fester.<\/p>\n
Spent time apart. <\/b>Just because you\u2019ve gone on holiday together doesn\u2019t mean you have to stay together 24\/7. Don\u2019t be afraid to go off and do your own thing.<\/p>\n
