Wife backs out of Mount Everest trek after husband pays $1600 deposit, shaking new marriage before anniversary: 'He took it as an affront to his planning skills'

Everyone has their own travel style. Some people are beach loungers, others are city explorers, and a few ambitious souls actually enjoy hiking up literal mountains. My parents are the type who love booking guided tours that zip from landmark to landmark with just enough time to snap a few photos and hear a quick summary before moving on. I'm the complete opposite; I love wandering through new cities at my own pace, lingering in museums for hours, and reading every single placard. Thankfully, my husband's the exact same way. But what happens when a couple's traveling preferences completely clash?

One woman found herself in this exact situation when her thoughtful husband booked her a surprise guided hike to Everest Base Camp. In his mind, he figured the adventure would be the perfect blend of romance and meaning. However, he's never done anything close to that level of hiking, he hates camping, and doesn't do well in cold weather, making this trip seem like a disaster waiting to happen.

AITA for asking my husband to cancel our anniversary trip to Everest?

I know the importance of a good surprise, but I do think that it is important to make super, extra sure that your partner is enthusiastic about something before spending so much money on it.
