Taking a provider on vacation? Opinions needed!

At that point, it became clear to me that we saw things completely differently. So I decided to call off the vacation.

It's very sad, since I was truly looking forward to making her enjoy a nice vacation. I'm a pleaser, sadly. But I suppose this is a much needed slap in the face by reality.

Thanks so much, guys, for all the great replies, discussions, true stories and advices. I really appreciate them all. I only wish I were one of the lucky ones, like some of posters here.

Get on S/A you will find that kind of ''deal'' BUT use care you can be played there as well..................Also you you plan to see this provider again??? I would dump her and invest you time in a SB/SD type of arrangement

Yeah. I think that's what I will do. Thanks for the advice.

And thanks, lucky laRue. Hopefully I can find a SB soon!
