I [28F] want to go on a trip without my fiancé [30M] because he acts like a child while traveling. He doesn't want me to go, and it's causing a big argument.

First off, I never said "my fiancé sucks."

If I said "I fucking hate when children suffer" would you edit my comment to say "I fucking hate...children"?

Secondly, there is a huge difference between hating a person and hating the way they do something. I love my fiancé. I think he's a great all-around guy. But he sucks at traveling. He's the worst at it. I'm sure some would disagree. I'm sure some would argue that leaving sopping wet towels on the bathroom floor is a good habit to have, but tons of people hate when their significant others do that, too. There are things he dislikes about me, too. He thinks I'm a massive worry-wart and hates the way I obsess over everything. Does that mean he hates me? No, I know he loves me. But he believes my coping mechanisms are, as you put it, "inferior" to his. And he's totally right. It's a character flaw.

Nobody is perfect, including my fiancé. Including me. And nobody in the world (except maybe my grandma) thinks I am. I don't resent him. I hate the way he travels. Big difference.
