For context, we are a very tight, supportive and loving type of family.
My husband and I are visiting my sister and her husband for 5 days next month. We had to save a lot the last couple of months to be able to buy flight tickets and for some spending money. Everything we doing that side, we will all pay our own share. Need to mention, my sister are well-off, she work very hard to achieve her success and we are very happy for her. Legit. We, on the other hand, are what they call "just-just comfortable", are able to go out a couple of days in a month to a nice restaurant and do nice things, but usually have to save up for a holiday and are not able like them to do a spur of the moment thing. So flying up to them are a big deal for us, thus besides spending time with family we want to explore things. We agreed on a couple of things we will be doing while up there go, such as camping, fishing, cycling and visiting a Wildlife park. The camping for my husband and myself is something we always enjoy but at the age of 41yr we usually book a cabin. My sis and her husband has a campervan with a complete bathroom, however my husband and I will have to sleep in a tent, as where we are going there are no units to rent.(My sister got timeshare at this specific place) We kind of okay with this and decided to make the most out of it and put it all towards adventure. (Need to note when we were younger we tent-camping a lot, so its not because we not use to it, more that our bodies complain the next morning 😅). Here is where I might be the AH is that I suggested while there, to go watch a rugby match at a well known stadium as our (my husband and I) favorite team is playing. This is something my husband always wanted to do at this specific staduim. The tickets are affordable and the game will be less than 2 hours. My suster husband instantly said no. He doesn't "enjoy" rugby and he doesn't want to drive there (drive= 30 min).
I got kind of upset(AH part) as it's only 2 hours that he need to feel "uncomfortable " (which once there and in the spirit, I believe he will enjoy it) as to us actually being uncomfortable for 2 nights in a tent.
Was it unreasonable to ask them to do something they might not "enjoy", and was I the AH for getting upset.
